Green Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Aside from books, I want to send 2 small monitor speakers, and lots of old cassette tapes, a few VHS tapes, and a box of CD's. Would it be 'safe' to send these via the Thai post office? I know they have different rates, and while speed is not important, I do need to make sure these will actually arrive. Don't want to pay UPS 12k for 3 day delivery, 30kg... Flying out next month on Southern China Airlines, over-weight and extra luggage fees are pricey.

CharlieH Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Use Registered Airmail, or EMS has a "one box" price of 1400 baht. Its a certain size box and weight doesnt matter. (shoe size box) Ask at local Post Office. You can track both online too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanyaburi Mac Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Green Gotta ask, where are you sending these items to? At least to the USA, I've found Thai Post "registered" mail reliable, with tracking to destination. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Whats the deal with sending liquids? I have a few things I would like to send surface mail, a bottle of tanning oil I don't want to just throw out, 120ml, and a few assorted things.

CharlieH Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Is there realy no weight limit in this box? How long aprox delivery to EUROPE? There is a weight limit on that size box of 20kg, although it would probably have to be Gold bars to get that weight in that size box., EMS to Europe is usually around 5 days but dependent on Country and Customs clearance.

SoiBiker Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I wouldn't put them all in one package. Magnets and tapes don't mix well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 sent an EMS world box (size D) yesterday, full of CD's, about 8kg. 1400b, with tracking about a week to Canada. just to reiterate, I was told absolutely no liquids of any kind allowed (teller said it won't get past the scanner), but they also said that they will be getting a list soon of countries where it is permissible....

lujanit Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Use this site http://www.thailandpost.co.th/rate.php. Change language to english, click the english flag in the RHS. Choose the SAL method as this means the overseas leg is by air. Choose track the parcel. No liquids or medications allowed. Easy. This subject comes up often, maybe it should be made a sticky.

Green Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Is it possible to send a digital piano through the post? Is there an explanation of all the different ways to send parcels on their site? http://www.thailandpost.co.th/rate-result.php I typed in 20kg to Canada and there are 10 different options to send things.

BudRight Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I've had good luck mailing things Thai post to the US. The museum should receive it within two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailandforumaddict Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yes liquids do not pass scanner anymore, but they told you that it's possible to send liquid to some countries ? sent an EMS world box (size D) yesterday, full of CD's, about 8kg. 1400b, with tracking about a week to Canada. just to reiterate, I was told absolutely no liquids of any kind allowed (teller said it won't get past the scanner), but they also said that they will be getting a list soon of countries where it is permissible....
