shipping stuff to Malaysia - PO. or courier?

[hermespan]

I have a bunch of personal belongings to ship ahead to Melaka - no rush (weeks is good enough, though not months.

- reliability?

- cost?

Use the thai post website, they have a rate calculator for the different services available

If you are sending emS consider their prepaid boxes. 20kg in one costs 750 to Malasia which is much cheaper than the weighed rate,.

Was only aware of one "pre paid" box size worldwide, called "one price", but its the size of a shoe box !

Like to see someone get 20kg in that.

Was only aware of one "pre paid" box size @ 1400 baht worldwide, called "one price", but its the size of a shoe box.

Got a link or something ?

just used the calculator...you can use it to send your gold bars...

OK not suitable then. But the Thai Post website gives it as 750 baht to Malasia...I used 20000gm as the test weight for the prices.

Thanks to you and all for the enthusiastic quick response. Repeat: ECONOMY is the key issue, not speed. Box size will be rather large - like a suitcase!

Sometimes with international somethig like TNT road is easiest as they can handle the customs clearance. If you have to do it yourself or with a broker the brokerage charges are usually higher. Normal postage charges are available but they limit packs to 30kg and are quite high.
