Tolley Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I am running out of vitamins and need to get a few things posted over from Oz. What is the quickest and easiest way to do this? Are they likely to be any problems with customs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangsaenguy Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Actually a good idea. When I have similar items sent from the US, I have them sent via the postal service. No customs. Hopefully, Australia has a similar deal. With USPS I can have a box sent for about $70. Vitamins are so expensive in Thailand that I save money and get what I want. Try to avoid DHL, etc. You will get stuck will a bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes I was going to use the postal service! It would probably be more helpful to hear from Aussies who have done it re time and type of postage as there are many options. Are you required to state what is in the package on a form? Okay so instead of vitamins you could say tea? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kered Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I get Meds. posted regularly from Melbourne to Chiang Mai using the Australia Post, Postal Courier Service. The post office supplies a plastic bag and you can send up to 500 Gm for Approx. $52. It normally takes only 3 days and can be tracked using the Australian and Thai tracking service. I have found the service to be excellent and no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmicheald Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 DON'T DO IT!!!! I made the mistake of having my yearly vitamin supply shipped her from the U.S. a couple of years ago. An extra 120 dollars in shipping. Another $100+ from the customs <deleted>..... Not worth it. If you can't bring them here yourself when you fly back, then it is actually cheaper to buy them here.

The vitamins here are rubbish. You cant get anything here of any quality. If you are buying vitamins here you are probably throwing your money down the toilet.

Cannot agree, lower quality here in Thailand, and prices insane. I shipped from USA Swanson Viatamins, via Post Office, shipment marked as gift. Saved big bucks, no fees at all. All items have customer reviews. However, do not use Fedx, UPS, DHL, and certainly mark it as gift or personal belongings. That being said, I have not tried this post coup.
