Secure Postal Address?

[chicowoodduck]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a secure postal address for Expats? I'm currently using one in Chonburi (near Pattay City) and find that about every third letter / packages makes it there. While I'm here in the US, I can send stuff FedEx, but it cost an arm and a leg to send even small envelopes or packages. I haven't experienced any problems sending stuff from Thailand back to the US. I'm due back in the Chonburi area in a few months for an extended stay and just want to make sure that things sent my way maked it to my door step.

Have you tried the postal service and having packages sent to your hotel or residence? Do you think it is the postbox service or the postal service?

I sat in a post office one day and watched a woman who had obviously been sent to get some handmade products sent to the US, and watched her dip a few out of the box and into her pocketbook. And I'll bet anything the theft got blamed on the postal service.

The mail is going to a residence and since some of the mail actually arrives in a timely fashion, I suspect that the postal service might be the area of concern? Letters and such usually find the mark, but anything larger, ie, small packages, are hit and miss.

Just an FYI for anyone in the Pattaya City area, I received this information on a Thaivisa thread a few days back.....I'll have to check it out. Anything has got to be better than what I'm using at the moment.
