Will my replacement credit card sent from Canada to Thailand via DHL or FedEx get through customs?
If I had a family member mail me my replacement credit card by DHL, UPS or Fedex from Canada to Thailand, would it go through alright, or would Thailand Customs stop it, hold or reject it? Thanks.

David Vankerkhoven use DHL they deliver everywhere in Thailand, fast. I previously had people send me a letter with a bank card via Canada Post and received it from a Thailand post in 20 days. I would not write a bank card just say documents/gift 0 value.

My Italian bank sent last month to my Thai address a replacement credit card using DHL.
The only issue was that the address provided by the bank to the courier was incomplete.
DHL Thailand contacted me and I provided the full address.
The following day I got my card.

Make you sure you put a block on the card and only remove it when you receive it.
Gerar ********
No problem, I did it several times with DHL.
But place the card between 2 thick papers so people don’t feel it.
Less change of the package getting lost. 😳

If it's not sent recorded delivery, it may get thrown at the back of the sorting office. I had to offer the local post master a 100baht reward if he could find a package of mine he said never arrived. He found it. If it's recorded, they have to deliver it.

Make sure it's recorded delivery, less chance of it getting lost on the way. I had something arrive 1yr after it was sent ordinary mail
Manuel *******
DHL no problem. Make sure there is a phone number here, they will call when the delivery is scheduled
Gorgon *****
Lost ATM card twice over the years....both times delivered promptly by DHL....be ultra specific about address, smaller your location the more it has potential to slow delivery within Thailand.....get tracking number. Much better to get bank to send it, though..nightly jet via Japan.

I had a similar experience a few years ago.
You will probably have to pay an import duty on the card.
If I remember correctly I paid 28b

I had documents mailed to me through DHL without any problems. A credit card is essentially just a document, especially if it's with all the other stuff that goes along with it. Shouldn't be an issue.
