Hello to all,
I have read many times on the boards that if the fake is susspected that one doesn't have to send it back as it's illegal!
What a load of cods wallop
How does a recipient of a fake item thinks it got to him/her in the first place?
Through the post, in most cases. Australia Post delivered it OK!
Post office doesn't care/wouldn't know what is fake, all parcels are sealed - and besides, it's not their job to police that sort of thing.
Advice given to buyers here is so misleading, a great cop out - not having to go to any trouble of returning someone else's property, fake or not - if full refund is promised or even already issued.
I have also spoken to PP - their attitude is the same.
If the buyer claims a fake item and doesn't have anything official to support that claim - they'll have to return it to the seller in order to get the refund. If the seller agrees, of course.
They also are not willing to act as a police - to determine what is fake and what isn't - nor they are in too much of a hurry to tell anyone to distroy someone else's proerty rather than to post it back - as some sellers want the item back even if it is a fake.
Then the rights owner can take it up with them, not the PO or PP.
The only thing that the PO told me it would worry them is people posting flamable or otherwise hazardous items/material.
And finally, if the item has to be returned to an overseas country, going through the customs - again, no problem at all, singular items, or small quantities get here - and they can go back just the same.
Customs guys wouldn't give it a time of day - unless is a shippping container load! (Straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak)
