NEED HELP WITH IMPORTING?

You want to import goods from Thailand but don't know where to start or who to trust.

You have concerns about product quality, incorrect quantities, or higher prices than you were originally quoted and the "Mai pen rai" (never mind/take it easy) attitude about delivery has you totally baffled.

Don't know how you are going to followup on your order status because of the difficulties in communicating with your supplier.

Payment:

We offer four options:

1) S.W.I.F.T. Bank transfer.
Destination bank: SIAM COMMERCIAL BANK.
With the S.W.I.F.T. system, the transfer usually does not pass middle banks that take additional charges. At anytime, the S.W.I.F.T. center can trace and investigate a transfer either from the sending or the receiving S.W.I.F.T. station. We can suggest a bank in your country that has operation with our destination bank. Further information can be provided.

2) Moneygram.

This is a service of Thomas Cook and American Express (Not all countries have the service - please contact for further information).
This only takes one day whereas bank transfer takes 3-5 days.
You go to the moneygram servicer and tell our name and bank - and you will be given a code. You then e-mail the code to us and we give the code to the bank here and withdraw the money.

The bank will charge 0.25% and the minimum is 200ß. A 100ß service fee will always be added to the commission charge so actually total minimum charge is 300ß.

3) International Money Order.

You go to the bank of your choice and issue one to our name, then mail it to us and we go to cash it. We are able to get it cashed almost immediately - and thus to pay for your order almost immediately.
