arunsakda Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Part of it is probably just laziness. If it takes the slightest bit of extra effort that deliver as part of the day's work easier to simply dispose of "farang" mail. I'll bet there is a drainage culvert in ChiangMai stuffed chock of greeting cards and personal letters. Edited March 7, 2016 by arunsakda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybunny Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 i called them today after seeing your post. the agent doesnt really know anything and i didnt want to give him a hard time and asked for supervisor or someone who's doing the investigation but was refused. i think nothing we can do. technically mails not lost so we cant make claim but they're not being delivered either and they dont give a shoot. all i really wanted was to speak to someone who's actually handling the case and i cldnt even do that. its not rocket science, if srilanka cant deliver, take the mails back and send it with current airline they have contract with. period. i'm considering making a complaint at the consumer protection board and will look into it tonight. super angry. I have emailed and asked if its possible to send my missing parcels back to Thailand as i would prefer to have them back if they cannot send them to the U.KHaven't heard anything back yet.

kwak250 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I had a parcel come from u.k yesterday it was sent 7 days ago. Happy to receive it but makes you think what the hell are they doing when its going to the u.k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybunny Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 a little update for those who are still waiting for parcels/mails to arrive in uk the srilanka's cargo manager had replied an email to a thai lady on pantip.com this morning that all left over mail bags in colombo was sent back to bangkok on flight ul882 yesterday. so they're now in thailand and will probably get sent using their existing contract ie. finn air. hopefully things will go faster from now on. i basically just want my documents back. i no longer trust them. will call to ask if possible to get my stuff back.

kwak250 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 When i phoned thailand post they said they have been using Finn air since 14th feb and post is much better. I asked where is my parcel i sent on 16th Feb which they couldn't answer. All you people that sent parcels that arrive back in Thailand should be compensated for its ridiculous.

Honeybunny Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 all 300 bags of mails were already posted out again at 11pm (roughly) with Fin air. Hopefully we will start seeing them arriving in UK soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us have already made refunds, and could have recouped costs by way of compensation. Most customers won't repay when it arrives. Like many I am breathing a sigh of relief for now, but they changed courier for a reason and could easily go with it again. Or put up prices.

ignis Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 No better the other way around.... A letter from DWP 2 months ago took 4 weeks to arrive here.. yesterday got a letter from HM Revenue & Customs posted in Newcastle UK on 12th May !! so over 4 weeks to arrive.

doctormann Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 My Brexit referendum voting papers took four weeks to get here from the UK! At least they arrived before the voting deadline, which is more than can be said for those for the last UK General Election! I posted them back immediately by registered airmail - considered using EMS but at 1200 Baht decided not to as there should be enough time for the papers to get there using normal airmail post. This may have been a mistake though as they seem to have disappeared into limbo. They left Suvarnabhumi after two days but have still not appeared on the UK Post Office database three days later. Have I been disenfranchised? Will I ever find out? On a sort of related matter, my P60 tax and earnings statement for 2015/16 is now at least two weeks overdue so I reckon that's gone astray. Generally, receiving letters here from UK has been OK - only lost a couple of items over the years. Sending stuff the other way seems very hit and miss - really essential to use EMS or DHL for anything important or valuable. DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlm5star Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Sorry to drag up an old post, but seems like the post has possibly reverted to having the same issues as the beginning of the year.

swampdonkey Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 My experience is mail seems to depart from the airport every 10 - 14 days but it does not always go direct to the UK and may be held at the next airport Posting in Bangkok the tracking shows it is processed and ready to leave the same day It is just luck whether there is a flight ready for it or not when it arrives in the UK it is delivered in 2 - 3 days. I have had mail take anywhere between 3 - 30 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlm5star Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Well, it's a year since the disastrous postal failures in which they changed mail carriers to the awful Sri Lanka air, only to realise 6 weeks later nothing was arriving and reverted to Finn air. Hopefully they won't have had another new years brainstorm this year and messed it up again. If any of the original posters to the topic are still following who still use the post regular for eBay etc...good luck for 2017. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
