Hello All

Season greetings, we have some new year gifts for family in Thailand, the box is only 1.5kgs and 36x36x13cm. I have had quotes form DHL of £35 more from others. Does anyone know a cheap service to send parcels to Thailand.

Any advice gratefully recieved

All the best

Try the Post Office, Airmail should cost just under £15 for a "Small Packet" under 1.5kg.

You may find a "box" is not a "Small Packet" so you may want to consider repackaging the parcel or shoving it in to a 'Jiffy' bag.

Different Post Office employees have a different interpretation of what is and isn't a "Small Packet"!

Just use the airmail service from the Post Office! Given that it is less than 2kg, mark it clearly as a .... Small Packet ... and also ensure that you use the International Signed For service.

It seems you are OK for size :-

quote:

No single side of any item you send can be longer than 600mm, whilst the length plus depth plus width must not exceed 900mm.

In our experience totally reliable ... parcels sent on a number of occasions .. including a couple of weeks ago ... Christmas presents!

Cost of sending a 1.5kg Small Packet? £14.83 + £3.50 for ISF = £18.33. Plus possibly an extra £1.50 if you want extra compensation on loss.
