Best rate postage to US/UK

[slightly]

I need to send a lightweight parcel to US & UK on a regular basis.

I need a service that takes no more than 5 days.

 

The best rate I have seen is in Soi Post office.

I have been quoted the following:

 

EMS 4-5 days

Weight 0.5 kilos

US 860 B

UK 1100 B

 

Airmail is slightly cheaper but takes 7-10 days, which is too long for me.

 

Can someone tell me if they have a cheaper service please.

 

Thanks

Below is a link to the Thai postal system:

AND...the site does provide a list of all methods and costs of mailing items.

Below is a list of various costs for mailing 500gr./0.5kg package to the US.

You can search for costs to other destinations.

However..I know EMS is both expensive and takes about a week or more to the US; dunno about the UK.

With EMS at least you can track the package, though I've sent stuff by regular post to the US

and the items (so far) have all arrived. The latter takes about 2-weeks for delivery.

have you tried TNT ?

 

their rates are generally competitive with EMS

 

dhl, fedex, ups, ect will most certainly be higher

Thanks for the info & the website

The shipping rates are what i have been quoted, which is very expensive.

Looks like I wont be shipping so much in the future
