Courier request - US->TH
I won't be back in the US for awhile, and I would really appreciate if someone could bring a particular harmless item to Thailand for me by the end of May. I'd really prefer not to ship it. And it's really a matter of convenience for me, not necessity.
I've been advised to not directly offer cash compensation on FT. So, I'll try to "repay" you somehow...

I would just have it mailed, simple, easy and cost-effective. It seems like you'd have to have it mailed on both ends anyway (in the USA to the courier; then in Thailand from the courier to you)? I mail packages both directions often, without any problems.

It's free shipping on the US side, and I'd meet the courier at BKK upon his/her arrival to minimize the hassle on this end. For me, it's not as much about shipping costs as it is dealing w/ customs here and shipping insurance.
However, I appreciate the input. If it doesn't work out, so be it.

Personally I'd have it sent to a family member, who then sends it on to Thailand. Really quite easy to do unless there is some unusual circumstances.
