Post tiny parcel?

Wasn't sure where to post this. I bought a mobile modem for internet in a shop a bit away from me. The battery is very poor and I rang the shop where I bought it and they said I could bring it back. It's a long drive to the shop. Just wondering how would I go about posting it? This mobile modem would fit in your hand and is light enough. How much would it cost? Could you nearly wrap it in something and put it in some form of envelope or could it break on the way there?

Do you have its box? Or can you make a small cardboard box for it? You want to protect it enough that it won’t get damaged in the post, so you don’t get the blame for breaking it.

Either way, put it into a padded envelope, write the address where you want to send it on the outside of the envelope, and then bring it to a Post Office. They’ll weigh it and tell you how much the postage is. You pay for the postage and you’re done. Include a note inside saying who you are and why you’re returning it.

Sounds like what you’d be sending is a “small package”. Actual cost depends on size and weight.

Stick in a envelope with bubble wrap on the inside. Shouldn't be more than a few euro.

put in a padded envelope and post it as a letter,

If you go to the post office and tell them what's inside, they are likely to reject it.

Batteries are only prohibited from international post. OP seems to be posting this domestically. Also, there’s no reason to tell anyone what’s in the package.
