I got a real education about returning items purchased on Ebay, as I was shopping for a stock for my Crosman 1322.
My first choice was the AR package from Buck Rail. But their key component - the AR lower was OOS. So I purchased a "special" aluminium stock from a firm in Germany for $54.
Then I discovered a cheaper plastic stock domestically. Buyer's regret set in and I decided to order the plastic one and then send back the aluminium one.
The German stock arrived on Wednesday. It weighed as much as the pistol. I informed Ebay of my desire to return the part. Permission was instantly granted and a return number and address were provided. I was instructed to obtain my own shipping label.
Yesterday I shopped for a shipper. My first choice was UPS. Their cheapest shipping rate for 1.4 lbs to Germany was $305. USPS's was hard to determine but it seemed to start at $50 for International 1st class.
Lesson learned.
P.S.
When I attempted to return a SIG P-226 air pistol I discovered that the do not accept refund returns, only warranty returns. I ended up repairing the broken one myself.
