webfact Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Thailand Post unveils super packing boxBANGKOK: -- Thailand Post today displayed its new cardboard box that it claims is strong, durable and capable to excellently withstand impact and pressure.The introduction of the new postal packing box came as Thailand Post joined the United Nations to celebrate the “World Post Day 2015″ which will fall on October 9.The World Post Day marks the anniversary of the establishment of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) in 1874 in the Swiss capital, Berne. It was declared World Post Day by the UPU Congress held in Tokyo, Japan, in 1969.The purpose of World Post Day is to create awareness of the role of the postal sector in people’s and businesses’ everyday lives and its contribution to the social and economic development of countries.The celebration encourages member countries to undertake programme activities aimed at generating a broader awareness of their Post’s role and activities among the public and media on a national scale.Every year, more than 150 countries celebrate World Post Day in a variety of ways.In certain countries, World Post Day is observed as a working holiday. Many Posts use the event to introduce or promote new postal products and services.In Thailand, Thailand Post held the celebration of the day at Central World Plaza Rama 3 from October 5-11, showcasing several activities, with its highlight on the new packing box under the theme “Thailand Post, Drive National Economy to World Economy.”The new packing box can withstand weight of a healthy person and can excellently resist impact and pressure.

Artisi Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Ideal for use as "a brown envelope" much larger and making it harder to detect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phycokiller Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) will it enable registered mail tracking to continue after Suwanabhumi as many dont get updated. almost everything I sent last month disappeared at the airport, as far as I can tell its theft, not always so bad but at the moment it seems a lot is being taken Edited October 8, 2015 by phycokiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 It just looks exactly like the old box,with some plastic padding,don't know how its an improvement,as before when sending anything fragile just made sure it was well packed,bubble wrap,paper,not much to shout about for World Post Day. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maesai Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Aaah, but does it withstand the thieving proclivities of the Thailand Post staff, I wonder? BS. We ship thousands of packages every year around the world. Almost no losses. In the rare occasion of a loss or damage, it almost always happens in the destination country. Especially the USofA. Kudos to the Thai Post for their excellent service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 will they actually stock it in the post offices, as it is everytime I go to one to get a box/padded envelope they are supposed to carry they are out of stock, ie,they simply donrt bother to replace them once they are all gone or they never have them in the first place. Seems to be a big problem here, they never replace stock in any shops, seems they have found somewhere else for the money to do so to go........

Kudos to the Thai Post for their excellent service. seems you are looking with closed eyes, I have had heaps stolen from the post in Thailand, especially valuable things like new credit cards, when I approached the local post office after 2 cards went missing they even admitted it happens and that they cannot stop the postal workers from doing it, I had to get them sent in unmarked plain packaging that had to be signed for before they actually got one to me.

maesai Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Been here for over 20 years. Exporting items for the past five years. Ship at least 5 parcels a day. All this time, excellent service from the Thai Post. If I was losing things, I would know it. Aaah, but does it withstand the thieving proclivities of the Thailand Post staff, I wonder? BS.

naboo Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Half my mail goes missing, and anything not registered and from overseas goes missing. About time postal services from other countries ended their partnership with Thai Post and directed deliveries through couriers who have a clue.

At the risk of gross repetition YES I have had numerous items stolen by Thailand Post employees - I even have incontrovertible proof of a local post man forging my wife's signature on TWO occasions. The police were totally uninterested but after we made a formal complaint at the main post office, the provincial boss of Thailand Post came to our house and apologised - yes, apologised - for the thefts which he admitted he knew about but BEGGED ME not to think badly of Thailand Post since "not all employees are corrupt"! Needless to say, no-one was sacked or even reprimanded over this - the boss's only concern was that I did not publicise their wholly dishonest and corrupt behaviour - which is why I do precisely that whenever I can..................

PattayaClub Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Aaah, but does it withstand the thieving proclivities of the Thailand Post staff, I wonder? Over many years, I have received hundreds of packages from both domestic and overseas locations. I have never lost a thing and the Thai Post has always provided me with exemplary service. The US Postal Service could take some lessons. The reason some of you have problems is that you choose to live in moral backwaters like Pattaya. What do you expect?
