Q: Clearing a parcel sent from the US through USPS

Recently we ordered some equipment from the US. The first item, a pair of professional headphones worth around 1200RMB came via Fedex. Apparently, online purchase is not allowed for receiving in China, and so the Fedex agent advised us to either assign a broker [name supplied] or to import as a Company Sample. We c hose Company Sample, and received the goods.

The second item is a professional DJ Controller for music mixing, also from the US worth around 6000RMB. This was sent by USPS and arrived in China early April. 3 weeks later we received a letter from the China PS asking if we wanted to send the goods back, or import. If import, we had to give them Power of Attorney, and assign a broker. We of course tried to use the broker suggested by Fedex, but they cannot handle it. The Post office cannot suggest a broker, and they have not offered us the ability to import as a Company Sample.

What can we do? We do NOT want to send the goods back.

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have been from a reputable college. If it came from a degree mill that definitely would be a problem. You should not worry about how they will contact this place. If the degree is considered authentic the people will know where to go to inquire. In my case I needed a copy of my diploma and one company in China recommended a Clearinghouse that was able to verify my degrees. They did not provide copies of the diploma, though. If the place where you received this degree is acceptable in your country then, it should be acceptable in China.Another point to consider you stated it was an MS degree. I have not aware of any programs that allow students to hop from a high school education to a Masters degree level education. With that said maybe you received a Bachelors degree. If that is the case submit that information. I would not encourage you to lie. In that you definitely will not have any paper trail to back up your story. Some companies do not accept TEFL online especially if it came from International Open Academy. That place is a one room office. I would consider that a TEFL mill. It was such a waste of time.Do you have the ability to do searches online? -- slspringer22
