I am planning on having a small item shipped into Thailand from Mainland China. The sender has given me the option of using either FedEx or DHL. They don't want to use the postal service because they said it is more expensive to send via EMS from China than 2 use one of these 2 companies. Many years ago I received some items via either DHL or FedEx in Thailand and it was a big hassle with all kinds of extra processing fees and expenses added on at my end when I received the item. I can't remember though if this experience I had was with DHL or FedEx, but I want to avoid that from possibly happening again.

The item being shipping to me only has a value of around US$30, so I assume there wont be any customs import duties, but does anyone have any recent experience please with these two companies in order to say which one is better or worse in terms of possible added on costs when receiving something shipped into Thailand?

Cheers for any insight you might be able to share...

Neither, guaranted to be held in customs and taxed plus holding fees.

Use registered or ems,

Thanks. That was my recollection.

Stay well away from couriers is the general consensus of opinion.
