Individual and Business Shipping from Australia to Thailand
PACK & SEND makes international parcel delivery to Thailand straightforward for individuals and commercial senders, with three ways to book:
Service Centre Shipping (Recommended)
The right choice for fragile, oversized or high-value goods, excess baggage and personal effects. Request a personalised courier quote online or by phone. You do not need to visit in person, although you are always welcome at one of our Service Centres.
Your local team provides professional packing, organises customs paperwork and arranges collection from your address. Door to door shipping Australia to Thailand is available, so your consignment is collected from you and delivered to your recipient’s door.
Book Online (Self-Service)
Posting to Thailand as an individual? A limited, no-frills online option may be available for pre-packed parcels under 20 kg and up to $1,000 in value, sent by individuals who are not shipping for a business and do not ship regularly. If your shipment is eligible, you may be able to book online.
You pack and label the item yourself, with no packing assistance or tailored advice included. Items containing lithium batteries cannot be booked online and must be arranged through a Service Centre.
PACK & SEND Live (For Business Senders)
Built for eCommerce and frequent commercial senders. PACK & SEND Live delivers automation, system connectivity and scalable fulfilment support, so businesses sending parcels to Thailand regularly can streamline booking, labelling and reporting.

Shipping Methods from Australia to Thailand
Our services cover a wide range of item types and timeframes when shipping goods from Australia to Thailand:
Air Freight (Express & Standard)
For urgent or high-value shipments, air freight from Australia to Thailand offers both speed and security.
- Express international shipping to Thailand: designed for fast delivery of documents, parcels and commercial goods, typically reaching most major cities within 2 – 6 business days.
- Standard Air Freight: suited to larger shipments that still need timely delivery, typically arriving in 5 – 12 business days.
Sea Freight
For larger or less urgent consignments, sea freight from Australia to Thailand is a practical choice:
- LCL (Less than Container Load): your items are consolidated with other shipments in a shared container, ideal for smaller volumes that do not need a full container.
- FCL (Full Container Load): a dedicated container for your cargo to Thailand alone, recommended for bulkier or high-volume consignments.
Sea freight to Thailand typically takes 6 – 10 weeks depending on the origin, carrier schedules and customs clearance, and LCL shipments may need extra time for container consolidation and unpacking.
All timeframes are a guide only, as factors outside PACK & SEND’s control may affect delivery schedules. Speak with your local PACK & SEND team about the most suitable option for your needs.
Relocation and Bulk Freight to Thailand
Whether you are moving home, shipping inventory or expanding into Thailand, PACK & SEND provides customised relocation and freight support through our international relocations service. Need a freight forwarder to Thailand for pallets or container loads? Your Service Centre coordinates the carriers, documentation and delivery legs for you.
From household contents to commercial loads, our experts coordinate safe, well-planned international relocations and removals from Australia to Thailand.
Shipping Costs from Australia to Thailand
Every shipment is different, and so is our pricing. There is no flat rate for postage to Thailand: each quote is tailored to your consignment and the service it actually needs.
Factors affecting cost include:
- Parcel size and weight, including dimensional weight
- Service speed (express, standard air or sea)
- Handling or packaging requirements
- Import duties and taxes assessed in Thailand
To get a price, request a personalised quote from your local PACK & SEND Service Centre. If your shipment is an eligible pre-packed parcel under 20 kg and up to $1,000 in value, you may be able to book online.
Customs Clearance and Duties into Thailand
When sending a package to Thailand, accurate paperwork matters. We help you prepare complete documentation before your shipment leaves Australia, so your goods are properly declared on arrival:
- Duties and taxes: may apply, depending on the type and value of the goods and the circumstances of the shipment.
- Other charges: import taxes or customs fees may also apply, and additional documentation or permits may be required depending on what you are sending.
- Gifts: marking a parcel as a gift does not necessarily remove import charges. Declare the true contents and value, and let your recipient know that duties and taxes may apply.
Customs decisions, charges and clearance timing rest with Thai authorities and are outside PACK & SEND’s control. Our role is to make sure your shipment is properly declared and fully documented to reduce the risk of delays.
Requirements can change, so your local PACK & SEND Service Centre can advise on the requirements and charges for your specific shipment before you send. For added peace of mind, ask about our loss and damage protection warranty cover.
No Limits on What You Can Send to Thailand
If it is legal and transportable, we can usually design a solution. When you need to send a package to Thailand that is fragile, oversized or high-value, our Service Centres handle:
- Luggage and excess baggage
- Electronics and technical equipment
- Antiques and musical instruments
- Business inventory and commercial pallets
- Fragile or unusually shaped items
Items containing lithium batteries, other dangerous goods and restricted items can only be arranged through a Service Centre, where our team manages the documentation and compliance. Laptops, phones and other devices are prepared with specialist computers and electronics packing.
Whether you are shipping to Thailand from Australia for business or personal reasons, we manage the process end to end.
Professional Packing for Secure Delivery to Thailand
We pack with precision, send with confidence and handle everything in between, with packaging designed to withstand the rigours of long-distance transit:
- Boxes, cases and crates: custom crates engineered for high-value or sensitive cargo, alongside international-grade cartons for shipping boxes to Thailand.
- Specialised Techniques: foam encasing, wrap cushioning and item stabilisation for delicate contents.
- Self-Pack Supplies: if you prefer to send a box to Thailand you have packed yourself, we offer a full range of international-grade packaging materials.
Track & Trace Your Shipment to Thailand
Our scan-based tracking system gives you up-to-date tracking with milestone updates at key stages of your Thailand delivery, so you can follow your parcel to Thailand from collection to the recipient’s door.
Tracking is available through our online portal using your shipment ID. Tracking detail varies by service, so ask your Service Centre which milestones apply to sea freight consignments.
