hellodolly Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 There is a lot of Ads on Thai Visa about Biovea supplements. Has any one tried any of them. I am a little concerned as I see they ship them free with UPS. Was wondering if UPS is like Fed X and sends them to customs Also the quality of the product.

FolkGuitar Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I used them when I lived in Japan. Quality products quickly delivered each time I ordered. But... here in Thailand EVERYTHING that goes via UPS or Fed-Ex will get import duties attached to it. As well as probably having a storage charge (if the order arrives on a Friday night 'cuz UPS won't deliver on Saturday or Sunday,) and an insurance fee because if they are storing the shipment they have to protect it. In Thailand I try never to use any service that insists upon using UPS if I can avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 I was afraid of that. Not sure what customs would charge on Duty but would not surprise me if it doubled the cost. thanks for the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Thailand I try never to use any service that insists upon using UPS if I can avoid it. Who do you suggest using? I've only shipped a few things back and forth and foolishly used Fed-Ex a few years back. I got hammered on extra costs and taxes, and just like you said they even charged me for storing it. Then they made me send them a copy of my passport to get it, and I had to send it 3 times because they said they couldn't read the first two. Pain in the ass. So I have not shipped anything in again.

mania Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) If you can find it in the USA & get it sent USPS Priority you will probably not pay any customs charges Same if you order from the UK & use royal mail I have used USPS & never been hit & I know others have used Royal Mail & never had a charge Edited June 26, 2013 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look around in the States or Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FolkGuitar Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I always try for 'EMS' via the postal service. It's fast, there is a tracking number, and there is a 'chance' that you won't get hit with import duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circusman Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Are you sure the supplement has any effect once you have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
