    Hi,
    I would like to return a mobile phone worth 210 euro back to GeekBuying, China. I am sending it under 7 day disliked item.

    The battery of the phone is built In and non removable. When I went to post office I was told that they cant accept the parcel as it contains battery. They told me that even if I lie and send it,it wont go as customs wont allow to send it. I asked for an alternative other than AnPost. But I was told that they dont know.

    I would get return postage from PayPal.

    Any way to send it back?

    DHL will take them, I think, but it won’t be cheap.

    Would any other courier like DPD, UPS etc take this?

    Any cheap option?

    No cheap option anyway. It’s a nightmare trying to ship Lithium Ion batteries from Ireland now. You could try here:

    I contacted them and was told that they dont courier mobile phones outside EU :(

    DHL pickup from home is around 70 Euros !
