    Is AnPost the cheapest for sending a return parcel to China? For 400 gm I had to pay 20 euro today! Checked DPD, they doesnt have parcel service from IRL -> China.

    Any other cheap options available with tracking facility? Thanks...

    You're not going to get cheaper than that to China. The only alternative is to use an international courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS) which will cost a lot more.

    An Post will probably be the cheapest for small items. DPD starts at €21.62 to Germany and UPS starts from €23.36. I use UPS most of the time but they charge by dimensional weight so DPD might be better value for very large items.

    If you use An Post make sure to use registered post.

    €20 registered package for China is reasonable - almost identical to the UK Royal Mail price of £16.60.

    I have a 3kg package coming from China and Fedex is cheapest at $136 for a 5-7 day service.

    Also, if you paid by PayPal, it probably has Free Returns https://www.paypal.com/ie/webapps/mpp/refunded-returns
