If you’ve ever spent some time inside BigC, you probably know how easily things add up.
You walk in thinking you’ll just pick up a few Thai snacks. Then you see local products you’ve never tried before, maybe some Thai skincare, maybe gifts for friends back home. One basket turns into two, and suddenly you’re doing mental calculations about your luggage space.
At some point, shopping stops being fun, not because you don’t want the items, but because you’re not sure how to bring everything home.
This is actually a very common situation for tourists in Thailand. And most people solve it the same way: they either stop buying, or they try to squeeze everything into their suitcase and deal with it later at the airport.
But there’s another option that’s much easier and it’s already inside BigC.
A Service You Probably Didn’t Notice – RNP Global Shipping Service.
stands for Receive, Pack, and Post, but what it really means is simple:
you can shop normally, and send everything home directly from the store, a complete end-to-end shopping logistics service designed specifically for international tourists.
No need to worry about luggage limits. No need to carry heavy bags across the city. No need to repack your suitcase the night before your flight.
For many travelers, this completely changes how they shop. Instead of holding back, they can just enjoy the experience and figure out logistics afterward with help. Plus, it is staffed by multilingual team members who handle everything from packing to customs documentation.
How It Works : Step by Step (Simple, Don’t Overthink It)
Even if you’ve never shipped anything internationally before, the process is very easy to follow.
Step 1: Shop as usual
Walk around BigC and pick what you like, just like any normal shopping trip. There’s no need to plan in advance or separate items. The only thing to remember is to keep your receipts, as you’ll need them later.
Step 2: Bring everything to the RNP counter
Once you’re done, head to the RNP counter on Floor 3. You don’t need to organize anything beforehand; whether your items are loose, in shopping bags, or part of a gift set, the staff will take care of it.
Step 3: Let them pack it properly
This is where the service really makes a difference. The staff will check each item and pack it based on what it is. Fragile products like glass bottles are wrapped carefully with protective materials, while other items are packed securely for international delivery.
Step 4: Choose your shipping option
You’ll be offered different courier options, usually including international services like DHL, FedEx, EMS, and regional options such as SF Express. Each comes with different delivery times and prices, and the staff will explain everything clearly so you can choose what suits you best.
Step 5: Pay, Receive Tracking number, and you’re done
After confirming your choice, you make the payment and receive a tracking number. Your package is typically shipped out on the same day or the next working day, and you can follow its journey all the way until it arrives at your home.
What You Can (and Can’t) Ship
This is usually the part people feel unsure about, especially if it’s their first time using a service like this.
In reality, most of the things you buy at BigC can be shipped without any issue.
Common items that are easy to ship include:
- Packaged snacks and dry food
- Clothing, shoes, and accessories
- Souvenirs and gifts
- Cosmetics and personal care products (depending on destination rules)
- Small electronics (with some country-specific restrictions)
There are, of course some limitations.
Fresh food, certain liquids, and restricted items may not be accepted, depending on the regulations of your destination country. It might sound complicated, but in practice, it’s very simple you can just ask the staff at the counter, and they’ll give you a clear answer right away.
Shipping vs. Extra Luggage: A Quick Comparison
At first, shipping might feel like an extra cost. But when you compare it with airline baggage fees, it’s often more reasonable than expected.
For example, sending a 10kg box from BigC to destinations like mainland China can cost around 800-1,200 THB, depending on size and delivery speed. This is often similar to, or even less than excess baggage fees at the airport.
The main difference is convenience. Instead of dealing with overweight luggage at the last minute, your items are packed, shipped, and delivered directly to your home. For bigger shopping trips or families sharing one shipment, this can make things much easier overall.
A Small Tip That Can Make Your Trip Easier
One simple way to make the most of this service is to think about timing.
Instead of leaving all your shopping until the last day, try visiting BigC earlier in your trip. You can do your main shopping first, send everything home, and then continue your journey without carrying extra weight.
It’s a small adjustment, but it can make your travel experience feel much more comfortable.
Extra Convenience for Chinese Travelers
For Chinese visitors, the RNP counter also supports communication through WeChat.
You can scan the QR code at the counter, ask questions to Chinese-Speaking staff, and check shipping prices before making a decision. This is especially helpful if you’re planning to shop in larger quantities or want to confirm details in advance. Definitely would be useful for visitors planning large purchases during Songkran or Qingming travel season.
Where to Find It
You can find the RNP service at BigC Rajdamri, Floor 3, near the main service area. It’s one of the most convenient branches for tourists staying in central Bangkok, and easy to access as part of your shopping trip.
Final Thought
Shopping in Thailand is fun there’s always something new to discover, something worth bringing home. The only challenge has always been how to carry everything.
RNP doesn’t change what you buy, but it changes how easy it is to enjoy the process. And sometimes, that small difference is enough to make your whole trip feel lighter.
So next time you find yourself walking through BigC with more items than expected,
you probably don’t need to worry about your suitcase anymore.
