Returning an item to Amazon Global/Cheapest parcel service?
Hi,
I recently bought some stuff from Amazon Global for the first time, seems a great service as they'll ship a wide range of things and even charge in Aus $.
However, one of the items (a posh toaster) was faulty so I followed the online return process. They sent me a label and asked me to get it back to them within 5 weeks, BUT they're only allowing £8 quid for postage, looking at Australia Post its going to cost well over £30 to send it.
Has anyone hit this before, or can anyone reccomend the cheapest parcel post to the UK? The toaster cost $120 so I don't just want to live with it, but looks like I'm going to be about $30 out of pocket.
Cheers!

Update - I emailed Amazon and quoted £30 from Aus post and they agreed to pay.
