Can I order from UK online shopping sites like Shopee or Lazada to be delivered to Thailand?

It''s the same thing if you were to take a flight somewhere and not have your laptop in your carry-on bag. That's what ruins your device almost immediately, if not the first time. So if you want to send anything with a built-in lithium battery .... The way I do it is, if I can't wait to collect it the next time I visit my country or wherever I need it from, if your friend has been here long enough, for sure he has a friend returning to Thailand in your country very soon and can take it here for him, for you.

might get flagged by your bank as potential fraud and declined but a quick call would fix it and the transaction would go through after you called your bank. It won't be an issue you just might have to jump through a couple of hoops

@Mark ******

you need to make sure you label the items list on the exterior of the box correctly. If they are items that are supposed to be taxed, like electronics, customs will confiscate it. You need to list items such as toiletries, clothes, baby toys.... Innocent things that don't require taxation when crossing the border.

And this is very important.... Do not send anything with a lithium battery built in. The pressure in the cabin, in the under part of the planes it's shipped in, will ruin those devices before they arrive to your friend. It happened to me a few times before I finally realized what was actually going on

Lazada is easy enough. Iirc Shoppee seemed to require the payment card be attached to a Thai address. Was a while back I tried it so can't remember the full specifics

@Mark ******

you just may have to go to the post office and pay tax on it when it arrives, which can be quite expensive

@Mark ******

Should be no issues.
