banagan Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 So, I'm moving from CM to Phuket in about a week, been here over 2 years, so have had to get rid of load of stuff, but will still be laden down... was thinking it might be a good idea to just post a bag down, can anyone recommend a service, or do I just head to the post office? We're talking a rucksack size bag, about 15kg. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phycokiller Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Im no expert but I would try the PO, its cheap and tracked within Thailand Edited October 2, 2015 by phycokiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fang37 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It is a nightmare receiving heavy packages. The local postie will not deliver & notification of its location at the local PO is not supplied. Therefore, it is a real lottery. Today? Next week? Next year?

LivinLOS Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I sent 25 or 30 kilos excess luggage from swampy to my home to save the plane fees.. I think I paid about 1600 baht and that was including the fees for them to rebox it and pack it so they are happy (they have funny ideas.. must have a bit of string etc).. So probably 200 or so in boxes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMac Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Use a bus. Just need to deliver and pick the stuff up at the local terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Thai Post moves motor bikes, so why not parcels? Does DHL do this sort of moving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMac Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 DHL is probably one of the cheapest options. Besides UPS and FedEx of course . DHL in Thailand is not Deutsche Post in Germany, they use the same name as DHL was bought over, but are working completely different. Another option is nimtransport.com. Not sure if they deliver to Phuket. CNX-BKK is fine, cheap and they pick and bring it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my huge, and very heavy, BBQ from them a few years ago. Delivered right to my door. I think we paid a bit extra for the delivery. Worked out great for us.

fang37 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Craig Good to hear good news re services in LOS. The posties here often suffer from malnutrition. They are very poor. 2 scoops of rice per day & 2 bottles of exclusive Thai whisky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) My neighbour gets huge quantities of stuff delivered to her door by Nim See Seng. Very cheap and good service. Edited October 3, 2015 by cmsally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fang37 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I much prefer inferior service & very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
