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.

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.K
Haven't heard anything back yet.

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

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.

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.

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.

WOW that is a lot of mail , How long would it have sat there if the people on Pantip.com had not bitched about it ?

I am sure there is much more behind this story that we will never know ,

Thanks for keeping us up to date

For those that sent tracked it would have been better if it had stayed lost! 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.

anyone have their post arrive in the UK in the past week?

one of my parcel arrived on 11/3/16 and the other one is still in transit....

I should get mine tomorrow, it's at the local post office.

Shipping to Canada is even worst, and tracking does not work at all for airmail.

I may be wrong but is anyone else having the same issues as before from mid May onwards ?

If everything is normal for you i'd also like to know ? Then i'll know its just me

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.

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.

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.

Is anyone else having any issues sending items to the U.K. once again?

How long  have you been waiting this time

Had some things take over 20 days.

Most of it has been very random...things sent last week, arriving 6 days prior to the things sent the week before etc...

Items sent the 19th & 21st arrived, yet items sent 14th 20th haven't. 

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   

Can you track registered parcels to UK ? It is not possible to track or even get a delivered message for any parcels to Canada and Australia.

Yes no problem tracking 

And lately there are problems with USPS also, very long delivery, 1 month or more. What happens to Thai post ?

Getting better for parcels sent after December 10. Already delivered.

 

 

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.  :)

 

I sent a small package by Registered on Dec 21 as of today nothing is showing up as received in the UK. I sent another one also on Dec and it appeared on the tracking info as received in the UK after 13 days.
