Has anyone shipped things back to China?


Long story short
I bought a DAC from Musical Paradise and am considering returning it, or maybe selling it if return shipping is a hassle.

The DAC was about $1300 and I'm guessing I could sell it for $1k if I needed to.

Has anyone shipped an audio component back to China?
Thoughts on the process or how it turned out?

You need to include the cost of insurance in your shipping, so that may increase the cost considerably. If you don't have a business discount courier shipping rates are quite high. Assuming you use of the main couriers, i.e. FEDEX, DHL, OOPS (UPS), then you could be looking at 7-14 days even though you send priority. Customs delays into China now are the norm, not the exception. Some of that is for quarantine, some of that is just to be difficult I think.  That assumes the receiver is expedient in their communications with China customs. Ask the receiver for their China Customs registration number and put it on the paper work if you ship back. It's 9 or 10 digits if I remember.
