    I need to return a tablet to hongkongeeks for repair.
    They have requested:
    Please send the following elements by international registered parcel (never use private shipping company) :
    I think this means through an post, not ups/dhl.
    But I am sure an post dont let you ship a battery.
    Should I just go with an post and lie about the content or use DHL. or is there another option. I've never had to send a parcel like this internationally (only receive)
    What is the best way to ship a tablet ?(cost is reimbursed by the seller)

    An post don't allow shipping of items containing batteries anymore due to safety laws on commercial flights. You could try lying about the contents but there is always a tiny chance that the package could be flagged. I wonder why the seller doesn't want shipping by courier? Your best bet would be to use a carrier that have their own planes for transportation of cargo ie DHL.

    This is a joke. HongKonggeeks have said it it can not be sent by ups or DHL. And an post will not take it because of the battery. Being forced into a situation I do not like here.
