    I've returned items a few times where postage is over €9, just email them the proof of payment and they will reimburse. Typically if your postage cost is below €9 they just send you €9 without need of proof when the reimburse the item.

    I got an item on warehouse which was junk and basically needed to be scrapped, return postage was over €30 - they insisted on return but, fully refunded me - they seem to correlate postage costs as an unnecessary expense else they'd have drop off locations and just get their own drivers to collect on their routes.

    MOD <SNIP> Read the forum charter please.

    It's likely An Post send the parcel back by road/ferry rather than air anyhow and, I thought it was air for the restriction on lithium batteries.

    Yeah i contacted them on chat and they said they'd reimburse the whole amount.

    Crazy the price to ship such a small package to the UK!

    It's the second set of these headphones I've had to return, shoudln't have given them a second chance! I knew somebody going up north the last time so they posted them there.

    An post send everything by air.

    When Amazon are delivering by an post, Amazon send a truck from the UK to an post in parkwest, thus avoiding the international ban on batteries going by air on passenger aircraft without special conditions.

    DPD send items by road/sea.

    Frankly Amazon should have a returns system locally here.

    Twice I've had items to return to Amazon with lithum batteries.

    I got onto Amazon customer service chat and advised them that my local post office refused to accept the items, and I wasn't paying for a courier, due to having issues with getting reimbursement for postage from them in the past. (true).

    Both times, they gave me a full refund and let me keep the items.

    All,

    I'm looking to get some sails, chusions and a pole (aboit 1.5mtr) devliered from Cumbria in North West England to either Dublin or Belfast. How would I go about this. It's basically a facebook sail, so guy won't post or anything like that, and they stuff I need collected is not heavy, but oddly shapped.

    Any ideas?
