At the airport:
'Are you carrying any items for anyone else?'
Yes
'Step over here sir…'
Good luck finding anyone traveling to Germany, or anywhere else, right now.
Just chuck it in their boogie board bag.
Only works for organic matter.
I'll have a look - thanks :)
See if there is anyone shipping headphones who may be able to split the box with you.
Don't suppose you happened to use Paypal when you bought it? As if faulty & is a return to seller you can get reimbursed for full postal costs.
Doesn't need to be faulty for the Paypal return shipping option. They'll cover change of mind returns too.
$120 doesn't seem that bad. Excess baggage on an airline is going to cost you more.
Other alternatives to try are:
- See if the merchant will sell you a shipping label or deduct it from the return. Courier companies offer huge discounts to big customers.
- Look for a corporate account with fedex/ups/dhl through your work (or friends and family works). Sometimes you can put through a cash job with them, but still get the corporate discount.
Honestly thought, I don't see you getting a much better deal than $120. 8kg is big.
Tell them it's for Matthius Cormann's OECD application.
Find a friend travelling to Germany and stick it in their checked in luggage.
