TLDR : Answer Summary
The user expresses frustration over not receiving three letters from the States while still receiving other mail. Comments from other users share similar experiences, noting delays or failures in mail delivery, particularly with important items like bank cards. Suggestions include using reliable courier services such as FedEx or DHL for important documents instead of relying on the Thai Post.

I find that letters sent to me as tracked regular mail get to me in 10-14 days. That was last year when my sister sent me a credit card from California.

I have important stuff sent to my sister in the states and she sends them to me with DHL. I don’t trust the Thai Post for important mail.

The letters I don’t want arrive quick, letters I want can take 2 weeks to never, mainly replacement bank card.

If really needed, FedEx or a service like it is required.
