Does a Prepaid Ebay Return Label from FEDEX can be used from abroad (DR) ?
If the item was delivered by Ebay to a courier in the USA, let's say in Miami, and then forwarded to you, the FedEx prepaid label is good only from Miami to Ebay. You will have to send the item at your cost to Miami.
If the item was delivered by FedEx to the DR, the label may be good.

I will definitely try it on Monday and let you know.
This is absolutely not true. I used this Return Labels several times dropping items of at FEDEX in NY regardless that the item was delivered to Miami. Yes the Return Ticket has my Miami address on it as the "Sender" but nobody ever cared. If you search on PREPAID FEDEX Returns it states" You can drop off at any FEDEX Location or Partner. It doesn't say "worldwide" either LOL. Monday we find out.
It think that was not really the point PJT tried to make, but rather that the country obviously on the return label has to match the country you're trying to return it from. Miami was mentioned as Miami is the hub for many mail forwarders to the DR... If I understood PJT wrong, by all means please correct me though...
One more thing to add. When you order from Amazon using a forwarder to the DR they only know it is delivered to Miami. So if the return is not from Miami but another Country I doubt it will get there. But he can try..........
That's really valid for any shipper you order from. Unless you tell them, they just ship to Miami, period. I think it has also been discussed on this forum and I have experienced many times that many shippers do not want to ship abroad, and if they find out about a mail forwarder (on Ebay in particular), they might just cancel the order. I have had happen on many occasions that I had to switch vendors on Ebay as an address gave out the fact that it was a forwarder and they refused to ship...
Correct EPS has the Doral address with an APT. No.that is your code to mask the shipper. Works with Ebay, without it NO...........
They do indeed, they even send what you want to Europe, I know from experience. Question is the price. Often times shipping would cost way more than what the item is even worth, might not always though... Due to this I have always lived with the principle that anything we order to the DR cannot be returned nor refunded.
I ordered hair clippers on Amazon, sent here thru Domex, and the clippers did not work. I contacted Amazon, who of course offered for me to return the item. I explained that I couldn't easily do that from here, and they gave me a credit and allowed me to keep the clippers. I'm not sure if that would have been the same if the item was shipped by the seller and not by Amazon...I always look to see who is actually shipping, especially if ordering multiple items.
Actually, if you have prepaid return shipping, I don't think BM Cargo charges you anything to return it(?). You will have to pay to have the replacement shipped back though so, if it has a low price/weight ratio, it could easily cost you more in shipping costs than it's worth.
As a long time Ebay seller, my only experience with a potential return was going to cost me $30 for the return of an item that cost me $3 to ship. Before going on this adventure, it might be a good idea to try to reach an agreement with the seller.
I've done this many times. Seller said "send it back" and I'd say "It costs 3 times as much to ship it back than it's worth."
Then common sense kicks in.
So let me clarify, you order an item from a vendor in the US who ships it to Miami. Then BMCargo obviously takes care of the rest and makes sure you get your ordered item in the DR and you pay BMCargo for the shipping from Miami to your BMCargo branch in the DR. If I understood you right, BMCargo would now export this ordered item for you free of charge from the DR to Miami? Yes, I'd imagine that you have to pay for the shipping for the replacement item normally, but did understand right that the route DR - Miami BMCargo would ship free of charge?
The prepaid label would be for the carrier who shipped the item within the US, correct?
If the above is the case, I stand corrected but as I don't see what the return of the item has to do with BMCargo, I'm not sure why would they do this export of the item free of charge? Did I miss something here?
Yes they certainly do, we have also done this countless times in Germany, but I doubt they would do this internationally unless it was Amazon who shipped it to the final destination? Much less if it was another carrier who took the item abroad?
I doubt that also. They would only pay for free return shipping from the Miami courier address it was shipped to.
