How does ordering from Amazon.com to Thailand work for expatriates?

I had a credit card sent to my home address via fedex. The address got goofed and the driver would not have been able to find my condo. I waited like 6 weeks, nobody called, nobody e.mailed or text. Eventually I was able to track the package to the local warehouse and they were able to change the address, card was delivered next day. My experience in the US, its a real pain to get a package if the address is wrong so I was surprised they allowed me to change the address. Thailand address are difficult for Americans.

Moral of the story make sure you will have the tracking number.

Yes. But I think the product actually shipped from Hong Kong.

I from Amazon UK. Took about 2 months but came through the post office so no fees or DHL, FedEx scams.

Man, if Shoppee would only start allowing foreigners to pay for goods and drop ship them to their g/f or b/f they would make a mint.

Good to know.

Yes. The price you’ll pay for shipping includes the max estimate for inbound taxes and VAT. If upon arrival the items import tax is less than what you paid Amazon will refund the difference.

I have. Update your mailing address to your Thai address and when you search for something it will tell you it’s only showing items that they will ship here.
