MJCM Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) My Bank back in Europe send me documents for me to sign via Fedex. Fedex Envelope was sent last Friday 23/4 with Scheduled delivery on 29/4 (so Yesterday) Been looking at the tracking page and it has been stuck in Paris since Saturday with status update daily saying In transit 6:13 PM ROISSY CHARLES DE GAULLE CEDEX FR Anyone know what is going on. Contacted Fedex and they are not much help as they keep saying someone will contact you and they don't TiA Edit: Before the Bank send the envelope, they asked Fedex if they deliver to Thailand and they said they do.

patekatek Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 MJCM...................I recently had credit cards that were shipped via FED-EX (criment) that arrived in the FED -EX local facility two days after leaving the U.S. The same scenario carried on for 5 days before I was able to contact their office. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt in delays due to Song Kran holiday. After a couple phone conversations and directions, they finally delivered the cards. The driver's excuse.......................I didn't know where your town is. No brains involved to possibly check the zip code, go to the post office for that zip code, get directions and deliver the dang cards. Based on this performance, I would be hesitant to use them for any future shipping needs. Especially if the delivery originates from the U.S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this performance, I would be hesitant to use them for any future shipping needs. Especially if the delivery originates from the U.S. Thx, our town is normally not an issue with delivery with Fedex or any other delivery companies (Flash, Kerry, DHL etc) I often use them as I have bad experiences with other methods with receiving goods from Europe, like Bank Access Code Calculators not arriving etc etc. So Fedex is now my preferred way of getting/sending stuff. Usually they are on their game, but now apparently not! If they just had said what is wrong (like closure of the Postal Office at BKK airport) (if that is reason?????) that would be more then enough, but they haven't, and for the Money paid (not cheap) for a delivery of a couple of papers I expected more then that. Again @KhunBENQ thx for posting a viable reason to why it's so delayed! Edited April 30, 2021 by MJCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 "Possibility" that mail is being held at dispatch points as Thailand has notified its not accepting mail due to covid issues. It obviously doesnt want the backlog pililing up at swampy airport so "may" have instructed services to hold until things are cleared here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satcommlee Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Documents sent from my bank in Jersey on a Monday were arriving on the Friday. 2 times in a row with Fedex.

AlQaholic Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) I got a FedeX from the US right on time few weeks ago, and then after I received it, I got an e-mail from FedeX saying that my address is incomplete so they can't deliver it, need to correct the address. I think they have a problem with the tracking system, delivery works fine but tracking doesn't. Same happened with a package from china, It was delivered to me, and then I checked the tracking site and it said it was still in custom clearance in China:) One time I ordered something from Lasada that, according the tracking site, kept moving between a collection center in Prachuap Kiri Kan and Bangkok for a week, and then I received it at my home, far from where it supposedly was jumping back and forth:) Edited May 1, 2021 by AlQaholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised they didn't do this earlier: I sent documents to the UK via EMS on March 3rd --- eventually arrived April 12th. Up until the day before it was still showing "departed Bangkok March 5th". Probably by boat due to a lack of suitable flights. Doesn't help the OP but anyone needing to send documents, DHL is doing a fine job -- sent Monday, arrived Friday. NOT PARCELS!

Captain Monday Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Why are people commenting on "international mail" ? Fedex has own aircraft dispatched to BKK and private distribution network. Cargo flights have been arriving constantly throughout the covid-19 crisis without interruption. Looks like another FDX flight from CAN Monday morning your package should be boarded on it.

dddave Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Another issue perhaps is that May 1st; "May Day" holiday is a big deal with organized labor in France which may have contributed to the slow-down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
