Cheap postage to China
 

Guys

Do any of you know a cheap courier to use to post something to China?
Its a laptop battery - weights only a few hundred grams. 32cm x 17cm x 3cm

mm !

You're going to have to elaborate a bit more I think

This battery was posted to me from China, and a man in a royal mail van handed it to me.

​​

Why do you have to send it back? Its probably more effort/cost than the battery is worth.

thats what id have thought to

it cant be centimeters surely ?

Its faulty and I want my money back(£59), I might just open a dispute with paypal.
The laptop in question is now on ebay and will be sold in 4 days time.

I have to say, the rules about batteries is just stupid, I can ship a battery, so long as its attached to a device - WTF is the difference between being attached to a device and stand alone?

What can't be centimeters?

The difference is that when it's attached to a device, the overload circuitry and additional casing etc inside that device will reduce the risk of the battery catching fire and downing the airplane it's sitting inside of.

Thats just a joke, especially based on markjmd's comment about circuitry, They might as well have just shipped it without anything.

Anyway, the seller has agreed to refund the costs, less original shipping, and I don't need to return the faulty unit.

If you used Paypal to buy the goods, you can get free returns P&P up to £15, up to 12 times a year, I`ve used it a few times.now.

Yep, got that too, but the underlying problem is sending a lithium battery.
I could have just packaged it all up and lied about the contents, but seems there are consequences if its found out by someone.
