Any suggestions on cheapest way to send large excess luggage and boxes from Cyprus to Thailand? Post or otherwise? And does it get delivered to your door or pick up at airline or port?
Sorry I've never sent stuff before when moving abroad. Thanks so much in advance for your suggestions.
UPS has notified me i need to show at 120 Years Building and register as an import agent or get an import license just to get a 2 Ib package of 40 personal single use eye drops, 2 boxes of just for men, and 2 UV BLOCKER sets of armsleeves my nephew sent me from my apartment in LA. Please, somebody who’s been though this, send the quickest most stress free method of navigating this. BESIDES Thai Customs, UPS is also trying to get paid extra in this process. I had no idea having a small box of personal provisions was gonna come to this. And if i choose to just not bother with this and walk away from less than $70 us worth of stuff, UPS’ charge is nearly $300 to “destroy” the package. You talk about a Catch-22!!! What does an Import License even cost, never mind there’s MORE steps to follow just to get this small quantity of my own personal hygiene products in hand.
Sorry if this is not completely on topic but has anyone ever moved freight from Los Angeles to Bangkok? I'm looking at shipping companies and there's so many options. I'm only looking to move about 1 pallet maybe 1.25m high. Any ballpark ideas how much that would cost if I drop it off at the depot/ port? I would appreciate any shipping company recs if possible, thank you :)
I want to start this question with a statement. I have experienced this group as one tha truly and consistently makes efforts to be helpful with clear responses.
This is an everything else question. I have a friend in Thailand who has a 16 year old son starting a tech program to become a fire fighter. He would greatly benefit from having a lap to and the family cannot afford one. I am in the US and just happen to have a very serviceable spare lap top that would do all he needs. It is even set up with a Thai keyboard. School starts for this young man in May.
Can someone give me counsel about how to best get it from here to there. I have read things about VAT, customs and shipping things with a battery that have me confused and a bit gun shy. I have checked with my Thai friends here and no one is going to Thailand for a while. Otherwise, I would just send it with them and have them mail it to mt friend's son once they arrived.
Any responses will be gratefully received. You could respond here, or even better, you could message me on Facebook. My name is Steven Mussack
Hey folks, retiring in Thailand from Australia in couple months. Looking for tips on sending 4 packing boxes only to Bangkok. Anyone have suggestions pls.
Shipping a package from the states. Has anyone shipped a pair of shoes sized box from USA? What was the cost approximately? It’s a pair of used running shoes so no value. But can’t find shoes big enough here to run in…trying to judge if it’s worth it.
