[bander]

Lost a Harley seat i bought from eBay in US a couple of years ago, hope the thief rot in jail.

I am currently waiting for a package mailed from the US on August 24. The help center and the local PO both say the tracking number is not in the system. Should I give up? Or should I call Anekpong and Niyom to check if they have it? I was told 25 years ago that only about 85% of the mail actually makes it through. Any guesses on the real percentage?

I would guess more like 50%.

Dunno why they would take my Aug/Sept copies of the "Northumbrian magazine.Oct/Nov turned up OK!!!

[bander]

I think the same thing happens at other postal systems

all over the World,not just Thailand, but in the West too,

all they need to do now is catch the bastard that stole

the birthday card with money in that was sent for my daughter.

Please stop your apologist attitude, everyone who has been here for more than a day knows what a bunch of scammers they are. Don't know how I manage to sleep at night. Anyone who tells me that if I don't like it I should leave is a ( feel free to fill it in)

Are you kidding me, Thai people scamming? Never happen to me, maybe because I am to clever to get scammed.

Well when I think of it, I always get scammed in the local market, by the motorcycle taxi, song theo driver, any street vendor, my ex-wife (did I forgot anybody, feel free to fill in)

But, did you see the Aug/Sept page 3 "Northumbrian lass in sensible walking boots"?...........................now perhaps you understand!

[Mr Freeze]

Perhaps if it was renamed " The Thai Royal Mail "

As in the UK it might , just might , make a difference .

I live in Chiang Mai and have never had a letter delivered to my home address where I have lived for over 5 years. I gave up and got a post box at another post office and have never missed a delivery that I am aware of. It is a pain in the arse having to drive there and walk up the stairs to check if there is any mail..

I know, I know every one else gets theirs delivered the next day after posting.

Thanks, shades of sarcasm in my post, not a serious go. As someone said many years ago sarcasm is the lowest form of whit. I do apologise.

Have not to date ever lost an item due to Thailand Post. Even when an item was broken in transit, they paid compensation. Don't let a few corrupt individuals tarnish your view.

[EnglishJohn]

As a general rule, get stuff sent with a tracking number. Then it will show where it went missing.

I have had lots of untracked stuff go missing in Thailand. Tracked stuff often 'hibernates' in the main sorting office somewhere, but at least you can call to find out. I reckon they keep it for a time then decide nobody really wants it so they may as well have it themselves ...

[emilymat]

This issue should be on the General's list of priorities. I have several experiences recently of stuff going missing, but like a previous poster, some years ago all my packages from the Uk always got through.

I wonder if any of our US friends on this forum could confirm my understanding that interfering with the US post, one it's in the post box, is a federal offence. (We don't have the feds in the UK).

If it is, maybe a similar deterrent has to be introduced here.

Don't really think it happens in the 'West' but definitely in Africa, me know that only too well...

[Alfaromeo]

Need cctv cam in airports too, my watch got stolen at the airport on my way back home....

[harleyclarkey]

I and a pal left luggage into the luggage at Swampy which is run by Chubb!!.

Of course it was rifled and a lot of stuff stolen.

Look at the cameras say I naively.

O...take long time to see....maybe 2-3 days.

Lo and behold the creep comes back to the Tourist Police an hour later to say the cameras show nothing!!

[TheCruncher]

Well we all know this doesn't happen in our home countries.DON'T WE?

You mean in the UK Royal Mail credit cards are not stolen?

You sent money through the post in Thailand? tut tut....asking for trouble.

I wouldn't send anything ordinary post, i even get immo to ems my 90 day reports back, i lost 2 by ordinary return post.

[misterphil]

This is why I said always have a tracking number if you are getting post sent from abroad. Too many people on here didn't believe that post gets stolen.

... a person who is not blinded with senseless rage like you are ?

... a person who realizes that deciding to live here implies trying to enjoy the good aspects and put up with the bad ones ?

... a person who doesn't think that post colonial arrogance is perfectly normal ?

... a person who doesn't spend his time lashing out at people of another country just because they're not exactly the way he wants them to be ?

The word 'apologist' is really beginning to get on my nerves, like all ready-made words that stem from ready-made thinking.

Do, please, by all means, pack your bags and go back to your country, where you will doubtless indulge in the same ranting activity after one or two months. Because this ranting disease is not due to the country you live in, it's the result of your own bitterness and frustrations.

If the word gets on your nerves, maybe you should pack your bags and go back too...only kidding, Just go, don't pack...lol

[cookee68]

So is that guy arrested by now?

Good that they have the guts to put this online! This is a sign they are really willing to improve their service.

I doubt it they are probably waiting for a warrant which will come within the next 12 months 555

[Kru Baa]

All they do is steal there. Never send anythng worth any money throught eh post in Thailand. Even if it isn't worht anything sometimes they will just throw it away because they are too lazy to deliver it, Espicialy if they think it is for a forigner.

[TuskegeeBen]

This is NEWS?

[jacko45k]

That explains a few things..... that failed to arrive.

[Friendly Stranger]

I guess if confidence is lost, then parcels or important mail should be couriered.

never lost a package here. 18 years and counting. i buy something online at least once monthly. but then i dont live rural.

[monkey4u]

do they have inactive post for the post office? Might as well just send them there. The BIB do much worse and that seems to be the only punishment they usually get.

We have an inactive postman

He comes once a week

Maybe he needs Viagra

[roiethome]

Not surprised at all about this. Over the last twenty years, I estimate that half the post sent to me from Europe has been lost and I expect all of it when it is in Thailand, as western countries have procedures to combat pilferage.

My bank in Singapore will refuse to send credit cards to Thailand using mail service as they know it has a good chance of being 'diverted'.

[Tonawatchee]

Oh, on their way to the inactive Post Office post.

Now I know where my stuff is Iv'e been waiting for the last month.

[Chao Lao Beach]

Should be publically shot. Slowly.

The Thai post says everything about Thailand. A criminal organization.

I only use Fedex.
