Q: Mainland to HK...

shipping a small parcel, like the size of 2 shoeboxes, value <1000¥, not fragile, non-hazardous material, recipient:  licensed foreign worker in HK.  

Anyone have any first-hand experience with this?  Any/all tips, advice appreciated.

 

Am I on the right track with SF Express?

You'll be good with SF. Other one is Yunda, I use it with delivery to HK in some 3 days.

Tips ... pack it well, 'content of the box can't shake, so wrap the content in some newspaper before you close the box, and Yunda or SF guy will write recipient&sender's address on his form and he'll glue it on the parcel after you'll pay some 200 RMB.

Cost of shipping is determined by size and weight of the parcel.

200¥ ouch! I guess to them it's 'International'. haha

icnif77:

I shipped faulty HD (250g) from Bijie, Guizhou, to HK for 190 RMB or around. Just regular shipping, not express. I had Chinese teacher with me and he talked to Yunda guy, so price was right, he he.

Giuzhou is similar to Nepal, i.e. high elevation, so all shipping charges are upped, teacher told me. I spent tonne when I moved from Kaifeng to Bijie for the same reason.

I think, shipping is cheaper, if value of package is below 1000 Rmb.

Well, this is just from Zhejiang, so maybe they'll be reasonable,,, but it's a lot more than 250g,,, maybe 1.5kg. :(

I'll probably wait and carry it next time I go 'abroad' or is that 'go look for a broad'?

Call express guy and after he'll measure everything and tell you the shipping cost, you tell him you don't have that much money ...

While watch sellers are pushers and this guy come 'cause you want to ship something. He's on call, buTT ... doesn't matter, if it's too expensive, I (being a cheapo) change my mind fast and often ...

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
