Cost to send a package to Thailand

Thailand, and in particular Bangkok has become a very popular tourist destination in recent times. With this comes the need for imported products. Located in South East Asia, Thailand has not only the need to import but also heavily exports so parcels are sent from businesses and private individuals alike on a regular basis, which has led to a vast improvement of infrastructure. Finding a reliable courier for international shipping to Thailand does not have to be as difficult as you may of first anticipated, as you can compare quotes from a variety of carriers all in one place using our global shipping marketplace. The largest eCommerce market sector for Thailand is electronics and consumers predominantly purchase on smartphones, followed by orders made on laptop or desktop machines. Sales are also mainly occurring via the B2C digital channel with shoppers finding what they like online, and placing an order if the seller is offering a reasonable delivery cost and time frame. The number of online shoppers in Thailand is anticipated to be as many as 13.9m by 2021. Thailand, although not the largest market in South East Asia does hold it's own, as it is currently the fourth largest eCommerce market in the region. One major hurdle to overcome is the fact that Thailand is still a cash driven society and cash on delivery is the preferred payment method for 70% of eCommerce shoppers. If you can provide a reliable delivery service to Thailand, with full tracking then the consumer is more likely to be happy to have the courier deliver to them having pre paid online. Whether you want to send a parcel to Thailand to a friend or relative, or you are selling online and fulfilling orders, use our quote engine to set up a parcel delivery service and sit back and track it to delivery.

Customs Information

Restrictions on sending to Thailand and customs laws relating to the prohibition of items being sent into the country via commercial courier companies are relatively open in comparison with other countries in the region. You are likely to have significant issues if you wish to send electronic cigarettes, gambling devices, jewellery and products made in Iran. The Thai Customs Department also has rules relating the importation of what are typically viewed as personal effects, where you have to use a recognised courier and may require additional documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer door to door delivery?

    The Parcel Monkey marketplace uses a shipping calculator to find the best prices for shipping your items door to door via a range of different couriers. 

    With full tracking on almost all of our delivery services, you can follow your package from the moment it leaves you until it arrives with the recipient. We always advise providing the contact number of the recipient so that if needed, the courier can contact them to resolve any issues with the delivery.

    Some of our courier services are delivered to a local Post Office, where the recipient will need to collect the package from such as with DHL eCommerce to some remote areas so it is essential to provide a working contact number. Items shipped with Parcel Monkey are also done so DDU, so it might be that Customs need to collect payment from the recipient before delivery. We offer Customs Advice to help with the completion of any Customs Documents.

  • Can I add protection cover to my order?

    When you place an order via the Parcel Monkey marketplace, during the booking process you can add protection cover to your item. As long as your item is not prohibited, has been packaged properly and you follow our Claims Procedure, you will be protected should your item be lost or damaged. 

    Some of our services offer no protection cover, but others do and some even offer free cover up to a certain value. You can view this information when you get a price via our shipping calculator. 

    Please ensure that the item is not on the prohibited items list as this will make it void.

    It is also vital to remember your package is going to be sent with global carriers, likely to be handled in various customs and airport departments so be sure to package the item correctly so it is well protected and cannot move around in the box.

  • How long will it take for my package to be delivered?

    Before you choose how to send your package, consider how quickly you need it to arrive. Transit times depend on two key factors- the shipping destination and the courier service you choose from the Parcel Monkey marketplace. 

    When choosing a courier from our marketplace, we will display an estimated delivery time, provided by the couriers themselves as they handle the goods.

    You can see how long it will take to arrive with the receiver and we advise that you share this tracking with the recipient so they can see when it is set to arrive. Always provide the recipient contact number when you book in case the delivery courier needs to contact them. 

    You can choose slower economy services such as DHL eCommerce if looking to save on the cost, or you can choose a speedy Express service that gets the package delivered more quickly like our 2-5 day International Drop Off service provided by FedEx, also available as a Pickup.
