Best way to ship to Hong Kong?

[Kim C2]

I have a 2oz. package that is an ebay return. I am SO aggravated.

I ordered a video game for Logan, and it is defective. Seller was uncooperative, so I filed a dispute. Paypal is requiring me to ship it back to him.

I tried shipping thru paypal - but its $21 something or $25 something for the second shipping option to Hong Kong.

I paid $15.88 for the game...

So - what is the cheapest way to ship...can anyone help me?

Thank you!

BTW, my two local post offices are NO help whatsoever. I was told to go to our MAIN P.O. which is 40 minutes away. UGH!

Thanks for any help!

Hi Kim, sorry to hear the item was defective. No word from the seller?

Cheapest way would be via first class international. I checked the USPS website and for a 2 oz package to Hong kong, it will cost $2 or so. Second option would be the flat rate global priority envelope which will cost 12.95.

Go for the cheapest way!

Hope you get your $$$ back!

PS. I did a claim in the past when the dvd I got from abroad was defective. I heard nothing from the seller and just did a paypal claim. My money came back. I didn't have to return the dvd. I just tossed it in the garbage bin..... That was way back though....

Kim: Can you wrap it back in the original shape like unopened? Then, cross out your mailing address and return back to sender will have no postal charge.

Thanks, thanks!! I tried using USPS to get a quote & it didn't give me the first class international option!?! Too weird!

I will ship that way - thanks, Caro!!

I wish! I opened it, handed it to Logan to try...and he put it straight in the Nintendo DS. Once it powered on & he was playing it, I threw everything away and even left him neutral feedback because communication was awful & shipping was worse. LOL A few hrs. later, Logan comes in and tells me that the game won't save. He then does some research online - because he thinks the cartridge looks funny - and he types in the number off the cartridge...and according to what he found on the net, it is a fake version! I immediately write the seller - but he doesn't respond. So, I file my dispute.

I waited 3 days for Paypal to get his shipping address translated into English.

I'm so aggravated at this point! It took forever to ship the thing...and his auction was confusing. I thought it was shipping from California.

Thanks!

Hi Kim! It was most likely counterfeit....the counterfeit ones give error messages and also don't save properly...

Hong Kong and China Ebay sellers are rampant with countefeit games......I had a problem with a DS one last year...I think alot of them operate under several different Ebay ID's until their feedback gets bad....then they use another ID or create a new one.

I think I posted about it last year.....the seller I had a problem with went NARU'd and I found him under another ID by buying from him again by mistake under another ID.

Here's some info:

And I second Caro on shipping....First Class International is the cheapest.
