The other was handled by DHL , the package was cleared and forwarded for delivery from Bangkok on Wednesday 26th at 11:30hrs. According...

    • BenNallay commented : [quote:ssmb8vx8]a very poor performance from DHL and the Thai Post Office[/quote:ssmb8vx8] How about a poor decision by DHL and business as usual for the post office? I've only ever had one letter posted to me in Thailand from overseas, in 2011, and it made it to my hotel reception 100m up the road from the post office agency in about a week from Australia, from memory. Parcels are probably another matter, but I wouldn't know about Thailand post, but only Australia Post. I get a few parcels delivered, and there's a courier called Star Track Express who have delivered to my door everytime without fail. For the past three years, however, (particularly with passports sent to the Royal Thai Consulate in Canberra for visas), I've used Australia Post, and unlike in the past when they were reliable, not one of four deliveries has been successful. I have been home all day each time, waiting especially, and each time the tracking website has shown "Attempted delivery - non-attendence) implying that the postie contractor has pretended that I was not home when I was. Thrice bitten, quice shy, I even wrote a sign to stick on my letterbox last week: [img:ssmb8vx8]http://www.bennallay.com/photos/Ben%20Nallay/letterbox.jpg[/img:ssmb8vx8] Still, at 12:37 on the Friday (after the 250gm package [$66+$27 freight] was in the local centre at just after midnight on the Thursday and onboard for delivery on Thursday morning) she marked me down as not home, and left a little card in my letterbox, 15m away from my open front door. I went to the post office to collect the parcel, and the man there told me he couldn't do it until tomorrow because it was still in the contractor's van. No excuses for her, eh? She was too lazy to walk the extra 15m that I'd paid $27 for, because she gets paid the same for sticking little cards in people's letterboxes as she does for actually delivering the package like she is supposed to. I wonder if the Thai post office pays their contractors the same baht for '[i:ssmb8vx8]attempted deliveries[/i:ssmb8vx8]' as for '[i:ssmb8vx8]deliveries[/i:ssmb8vx8]' ? The moral of these stories is that when you need a parcel delivered, don't use Australia Post and perhaps by the same token according to what you mention, don't use the Thai post office either. Use a real courier who has to deliver your package or try again tomorrow.
