eezergood Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Why not have them sent to a removal company, essentially thats what they do! Only a thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi007 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Possibly Fedex? http://www.fedex.com/th/dropoff/ There is also DHL and UPS here in Phuket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eezergood Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 People that do removals........ such as when you are moving house etc....? I think fedex also your best bet, but I guess you will loose the savings you have mde from the packaging cost. I have used DHL to send things before, withouth to much hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagallim Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I think that the problem would be the passing of the goods from the supplier to an international carrier such as DHL, Fedex etc, and they forwarding the goods on without declaration forms being signed by your friend etc. My suggestion is to use an agent to accept delivery from the supplier and then use their own channels to route the goods abroad. Speak with these people (good English) and ask for the owner, Mrs Porntip Katejaemsri: http://phuketindex.com/porntiplogistics/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Just don't use TNT. Only time I've had customs problems is when I ship with them. Even personal belonging being insanely taxed. I'm convinced they are conspiring with customs to extract money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylophone Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Give Phuket Universal Service Co. Ltd a call, as they have been very helpful to me in the past. The GM is an Aussie named Peter Bricknell and their website is: www.phukettransport.com Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
