SidJames Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) I've been sent a small parcel from the old country & it was tracked. An attempted delivery is listed on the tracking website for the 16th but no note or card was put into our post box. I have received other unrelated post since What are my options?

JohnC Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 The tracking site will tell you what post office is holding it, go there with your tracking number and collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidJames Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 The tracking site only gives their tracking number with a time/date of attempted drop. No other information whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD13 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Two years ago none of the Christmas mail from the UK arrived Last year was ok To date only one card has arrived.....I have been told that other cards were posted weeks ago I have lost count of the mail throughout the year which has not arrived..... I recently discovered that my pension was not being paid because I had not completed and returned a questionaire......which never arrived here Oh well....the joys of being an "Expat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other information whatsoever If it is 20150 or 20160 postal code, it will be at Banglamung post office in Naklua. Print out a screen grab of the Thai Post tracking info, write the tracking number in big letters on it a few times, go to the Banglamung post office, bring your ID, stick it on the spike on their desk, sit back down and watch for when it is taken off the spike (they pull the numbers from the bottom and rip the tickets hence the need for multiple numbers). Wait to be called/signalled. Best time to hit the place is either just after 11 AM or around 2 PM. Edited December 20, 2016 by NanLaew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Thai postal tracking shows a complete history of stations/offices where the shipment went/is. So where are you looking/what company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidJames Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 This was sent from Ireland so I only have the An Post tracking number. I'll try both Naklua & the Suk PO's with my best grin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxforddon Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I recently received a parcel from the USA which according to Tracking (USPS) landed in Bangkok sorting office 10 days prior so it seems to take a while. A card from Australia arrived 10 days after posting Airmail as another example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try both Naklua & the Suk PO's with my best grin Let's try this again. Doesn't matter where it came from. The originating tracking number has already been logged in the Thai Post system. So what postal code is on your mail delivery street address? If you are in Pattaya, Naklua, the greater part of Jomtien, Nongplalai and the 'dark side', it will be 20150, The code 20260 is for the Pattaya Soi Paisannee 13/2 post office. Regardless, held mail for BOTH of these postal codes will be held at Banglamung PO in Naklua. I think the (fairly new) Sukhumvit PO is for southern Jomtien, Ban Amphur and the Huayyai badlands.

SidJames Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Gotcha. I'm 20150 but it's a toss up as to where I have to go to collect post/parcels. I don't know why The one on the Suk is a dream compared to Naklua & not just for access & parking. I'm always in & out in a minute or two The point that I was making is that the only tracking number that I have is the original one issued in Dublin. The An Post website is showing an attempted delivery but no card was left here. They may have left it at a different address as we often get post for other buildings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepattaya1961 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 connecting zip-codes to post offices makes no sense. My ZIP is 20150 and parcels have to be picked up at Naklua; EMS letters have to be picked up at Na-Jomtien. Tip: If you go to the track-n-trace service of Thailand Post and you end up with the overview and status of your tracking number you will see on the right bottom of the overview a link. Click on the link and you will possibly see a signature and a name and maybe an address. IF you're able to see this........you're package is wrongly delivered.

Several other recent posts indicates that the delivery postmen from Banglamung/Naklua are still not leaving notices. 1 hour ago, joepattaya1961 said: connecting zip-codes to post offices makes no sense.

Makes perfect sense to know where the postie has come from, no? Thanks for the tip on EMS packages being returned to the new post office on Sukhumvit. I had an EMS package delivered to the house about 6 months ago and it came by van versus the guy on the motorbike. Maybe the newer Sukhumvit post office is their 'hub' for non-delivered EMS stuff? All dispatched from Naklua but returned to Sukhumvit due to the lack of storage space/parking? Also thanks for the tip on how to tag a possible wrong delivery from their website. Handy to know... wonder how one would go about getting it correctly re-delivered though. Just received a package from Singapore at my Soi 13/2 PO Box (20260). That took 6 days, non-EMS.

SidJames Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Thanks to JP1961's advice I did put the Irish tracking number into the Thailand Post's tracking website & it's showing as an attempted delivery last Friday afternoon but no more information other than that.

The international tracking number may be sufficient since it is in their system. Take your passport with you and maybe some cash (import-tax) Don't wait too long.....after 14 days packages are usually "returned" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
