aelfheah Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I recently bought an ebay item (a winter coat) for about £35, which arrived from China quickly and well packaged. But upon delivery I have decided (within my distance buyer's rights) that I have changed my mind even though it is a lovely coat, and anyway their XXL size is medium for me! The seller is ok about returns and refunding and provided an address, but which is the cheapest courier to use? Most say about £30-odd, which isn't even worth it? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Cheapest is good old royal mail but it takes at least two weeks and wasn't trackable. Cheapest trackable I found was about £60. I'm guessing you're stuck with it, I know I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerbyTup Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 you're a brave person buying something through the mail that has to come all the way from China. There have been a number of scams like this where you order one thing and get something else - then the cost of returning it is far more than you already paid. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Thank goodness for e-bay eh? you can sell any old rubbish on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
