Shipping Company Recommendation

[Freddy]

Gents,
I need to ship 4 wheels with tyres down from Chiang Mai to Buriram. Any recommendations for a good shipping company to use??

Lazada uses Kerry and it does a good job:

I also received food shipments via Kerry, one day delivery.

NakhonChaiAir bus.

Thanks Keith. I emailed Kerry but they seem to be more pop a parcel service? They responded quickly to tell me that.

Thanks Starman. I'll check it out.

We use NCA alot. We send to Pattaya, Ubon, Pitsanulok, ChiangMai to name a few.

Great service. Good price and never had anything go missing.

The receiver gets an SMS when the package is ready for pick up and the sender gets an SMS when the package has been picked up.

[Freddy]

Thanks again,
I thought I was going to have to arrange pick-up from this end but the person I'm buying from is now going to organise so I'll see who he wants to use and what the cost is.

[Starman]

Why not save time and ask him to use NCA?

 You could have your wheels by tomorrow.

[Freddy]

There's no rush to get them here and providing the price is reasonable I'm ok for him to use a company he is familiar with. Probably easier for him to go with what he knows. If he's having any difficulty I'll certainly suggest NCA.

Starman -
I've looked at NCA on the internet but can't find anything that relates to a parcel service (only the passenger coach service). How does it work exactly. Is it a separate dedicated courier service or are items transported on the coach service? Apologies for my ignorance but I can't find any info on how I would arrange pick-up/ pricing etc....

[Starman]

The items get loaded on to the bus.

The last box I sent to ChiangMai was just on the 20 kilo mark. Cost in the region of 300 baht.

Tyres should not be a problem. I know someone who transported a motorbike by NCA.

[Freddy]

Ok, thanks. So does the sender takes items to the bus station and recieved pick up from the destination bus station or is there an attached service that does the house to house part??

[Starman]

Collect from bus station. You will need a photo ID. Driving licence is fine.

Make sure the sender gives them your phone number. You will receive an SMS to say the shipment has arrived.

[Freddy]

Ok, thanks got it. I guess each wheel is around 20-25kg with tyres so in theory (unless they factor in size also) I should be able to get all 4 here for inside 2,000baht. That's a good estimated comparison against what he suggests later today. Thanks again.

[Starman]

That sounds reasonable.

[Freddy]

For info.
Wheels are coming from Chiang Mai by Nim Express. Due to it being the weekend I expect them Monday. They do a next day service providing they have item before 1300hrs however they weren't dropped off until 1600hrs so factoring out Sunday it should be a Monday delivery.
Cost for 4x 18inch truck wheels with tyres 1200 baht. Providing all goes as planned a bargain I'd say.
