Posting to China.

OMG what I dreaded!!

I ordered a beautiful Chinese style top from e-bay. I love it but it doesn't fit me!!

I requested a return label which they sent & I printed it off but I have to pay return postage to China!!

It's very light weight and will fold into a parcel measuring 10" x 7"

I'm going to take it to the post office tomorrow.
Any guesses how much it will cost?

Anywhere from £3-£10 (Royal Mail) depending on weight and delivery required - it could even be more as I've just guessed the weight - you can get an estimate from here:

Crikey carol, when I read the thread title, I thought YOU had been posted to China...I thought maybe you’re in the diplomatic service and hadn’t told us..

Worth checking out courier services such as USPS or similar.

Re: Posting to China.

A similar package through DHL will cost about £40 (again, depending on weight)

Here's a comparison site:

When I had occasion to return an item to China the cost of postage was more than the cost of buying a new item, delivered post free, so I just gave the first item to a friend and ordered a second in a different colour .....
