hansje1980 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 My mom (she is Thai) asked if can go to ThailandPost and ship a package/box containing 3 bottles of shampoo (each 500ml) from her Thai brand she likes to Europe (Holland) As I knew already this is not possible and I got the same answer from several different post offices (big ones in BKK and smaller offices upcountry). The only option would be something which they refer as "surf mail", so it will go by boat instead of by plane. This will take like 8 weeks or max 12 when unlucky. For her this is not an option which I understand. Are there any alternatives to still have it go by plane? Price doesn't really matter. Alternative I tried myself and worked a few times is by don't mentioning your contents and/or say it's a gift and 2 out of 4 times it will arrive using "Registered SAL" of ThailandPost. However, a 50% chance is not what I'm looking for, I want 99%. Any ideas? Please stay on-topic, I searched and found many shopping fluid topics all without answers, mostly only no or yes without other useful information. And ofcourse always people joking around. Thank you so much in advance!! Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submaniac Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 What Thai brand is so special that it can't be purchased in Europe? Just curious. And I think you will have a hard time sending liquid by mail on a plane these days. Slow boat is the only way I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansje1980 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 DHL charges 17,000 baht for shipping 2,3 kilos (3x 750ml shampoo) from TH to EU. According to their website..... Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submaniac Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 And you're stuck using a company like DHL because the governmental post offices have regulations on transportation of liquids and batteries. I order ecigarette batteries and juice and this is how I know it's problematic to ship stuff like that. Just placed an order today and it will be 30 days to ship because there's a battery inside. The other choice is to ship DHL or similar but $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's convinced Thai shampoo and conditioner is better. She thinks ours give her an itchy head. I know, makes no sense what so ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefactoryoutlet Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Hello, Send by EMS, airmail or surface and it will be delivered 99% of the time (just don't say that it's liquid inside). If it is stopped before boarding the plane you will be refunded for the shipping ! But maybe you have found another solution ? I found these posts on the topic: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/342179-thailand-post-shipping-liquid-restrictions/ http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/682199-shipping-liquid-with-thai-post-why-forbidden-only-in-this-country/ http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/746795-sending-liquids-in-the-post-from-thailand/?p=8163704 http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/793400-how-to-ship-liquids-within-thailand/ Bye Edited February 26, 2015 by thefactoryoutlet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
