Anybody know how long it takes for mail to arrive from Thailand by air mail?

I was sent a package on 5/9 which hasn't arrived. In the past they have used DHL and it has been here in 2/3 days.

The Thai postal service is normally excellent!
That's why so many UK eBay sellers refuse to ship there.rolleyes

If it was sent normal Thai (not DHL) post then it could take a long time to arrive.

From memory the postcards I sent from thailand arrived between 2 and 3 weeks later. Not as bad as Russia where only half arrived and the slowest took 5 weeks.

Sadly the word Package implies contents = items? = valuable? = let's have a look inside! = Oooh that's nice! = I'd like that myself! = sorry! Lost in post.

Don't know about Thailand, but I was surprised that postcards from NZ take 2 weeks.

A week to ten days is 'normal' for Thailand-UK by airmail. For a really long wait, try shipping it smile
