thailandbeachisland Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hello. I have been told by Thailand post that it is not possible to send liquid and I wonder why ? In the rest of the world we can buy anything online and even wine, but here we cannot send any liquid by post ? Who has decided this stupid rule and is Thailand the only country having this rule ? I have tried and the Xray machine at airport found the bottle, so how to do ? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) I've never heard of this and have had liquids sent to me from within Thailand and from the US and the UK. Are you talking about sending liquid out of Thailand ? What type of liquid ? What country to /from ? Also how much of it are you talking about ? For example I had several small bottles sent in each package - 50ml per bottle maximum, some of them much less.

CharlieH Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Maybe you can send it, but you have to clearly state what it is? Undisclosed it will be stopped as potential hazard because its unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannot Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I went to the UK post office the other day to send a parcel and this time I was shown a card with items in like the airport that I couldmt send, maybe its becoming a worldwide thing?

GrantSmith Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 As for the X-ray machine picking it up, well yes, of course it's going to be picked up. Pack it appropriately in your checked luggage and you'll be fine... Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxx58 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Sound strange to me. I just had 3 small bottles (240 ml) sent to me from the States. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I sent a box of perfume to Australia a few months ago(just over 3 months), declared it as required and everything was fine. Still has not arrived there and the PO cannot tell me where it is. I have no idea if it was simply rejected or what as the local staff where I sent it from do not know.

thailandbeachisland Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 I am talking about shipping liquid FROM Thailand which is forbidden by Thai post. Liquid is something like water or small bottles of alcohol (please don't talk about customshit, this is not the topic). The fact is that they seem to have good Xray machine in Thailand as it always catch parcels with liquid. Do you really think that these lazy people check each parcel when it is even possible to board a plane with a knife ? I mean that they don't even check the people well, so how could they check the parcels, especially in this country ? I could understand if we were in US, but not here !

Be a little bit more specific in your OP next time chief to avoid vague answers... I'll ask again, what exact type of liquid are you trying to send?

thailandbeachisland Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 What you do not understand is that the kind of liquid is not your problem or has nothing to do with the question. ANY LIQUID cannot be sent by Thai post ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 International prohibited goods - personal customers lists the items which cannot be sent out of the UK by post; you'll see that the list contains many different forms and quantities of liquid. Slightly different regulations apply for in UK deliveries and business customers; note that alcoholic beverages can be sent internationally by businesses, provided they meet certain conditions re quantity and packaging. I tried to send some perfume to Thailand as a gift earlier this year and was told by the post office that these regulations and the prohibited items, especially for international post, were standard in most countries due to security and health and safety concerns. When I said that I had done it before I was told that the rules had been recently changed. So, to answer one of your questions, Thailand is not the only country to have this rule. I'm sure that if you contact the Thai post office they will be able to provide you with similar information on what can and cannot be sent through the Thai post.

UPDATE, Australia post have told us that the carton was never scanned and put into the thai system(sent them a copy of the paperwork) so it looks like it has gone to someones home to live, probably the person that did all the paperwork in the first place so yes, they dont send liquid in the mail, they take it home instead.......

Satcommlee Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 The Mrs has all sorts of liquids sent to her by Thai post, she normally end up smearing it on her face.. I think you should be a bit more specific, are you trying to mail 2 liters of liquid.. or 50 ml??? And um! what is the liquid by the way :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantSmith Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 And um! what is the liquid by the way :-) It's apparently TVF CLASSIFIED.. The highest form of classification Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 What you do not understand is that the kind of liquid is not your problem or has nothing to do with the question. ANY LIQUID cannot be sent by Thai post ! That is not true. We have sent dozens and dozens of bottles of creams, lotions, etc. all over the world.

thailandbeachisland Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 You can send as much liquid as you want but it is anyway forbidden and you are just lucky when Xray boy does not see your liquid. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/342179-thailand-post-shipping-liquid-restrictions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I ship liquids via post regularly without issue. I know how crazy this sounds, but perhaps there is some confusion regarding what they are telling you and what you are hearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel2003 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 You're not trying to send nitroglycerin are you? I think he doesn't trust the banks here so he sends shipments to his local sperm bank back home. It is only a guess, so I might be wrong here.

As has been explained to you, most (all?) countries have regulations about what can and cannot be sent via the mail. You can't accept that and want to continue with your Thai put downs (Xray boy!). How sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailandbeachisland Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Posts tell what people are able to understand. As you all know better than me when you are sending 4 parcels a year I think I will let you with all your reliable knowledge :-) Thank you for being experts on so many topics, Thailand is lucky to have you. In case some still think that I am confused let me just tell you that I speak Thai fluently and that there is no confusion for me compared to most of the foreigners living in this country who can only pronounce and understands 3 words of Thai. But ok, you are right anyway, Thai post has no problem with liquid shipping and the parcels coming back with Xray/Liquid written on them are just a dream, so great, I learnt something today.

Cry me a river! You came on here to vent your frustrations on an english speaking forum and saught advise from these english speakers. Yet you, now claim to speak Thai fluently (how convenient), would it then, not have made sense to make the most of this gift? Talking to the natives? Getting their insight into the weird and wonderful quirks that is Thailand? No, no, you came to an english speaking forum filled with predominantly expatriates and saught their sage wisdom. When their (our) responses didn't gel with your intentions you burned that bridge as well.. So, well played, thailandbeachisland... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsharkythailand Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Greetings! It seems that Thai post now xray every parcel leaving the country, but I wonder how it could be possible ? Do they have hundreds of staff doing this job ? And do you have any idea about how to send a small parcel with liquid or battery by boat ? (not a container, just a small parcel). Thank you.

saakura Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 We regularly ship out small 250ml sample bottles of used industrial coolant liquids for analysis to labs in Singapore and UK without any problems. Why is the OP so hesistant to tell us what is he sending? Maybe some toxic or flammable liquid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
