Hi, Has anyone had to return a item from youshop back to amazon? I have a drill with an explosive li-ion battery i can no longer ship. Amazon looks like they will accept the return and let you print out a UPS pick up slip for free. But how do you co-ordinate thing with the muppets at Youshop? If youshop returns the package to Amazon all by themselves, will Youshop charge me freight?

Under YouShops website definitions for prohibited goods there's no mention of li ion batteries...

At this point, it should be clear you need to find out, otherwise you risk the same problem others are having. If you're okay taking that risk, the answer is yes.

Wrong list, this is youshops one here

https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop/shopping-with-your-youshop-address/dangerous-prohibited-items

YouShop dangerous or prohibited items

The most common examples of items that can’t be sent using YouShop include:

lithium-ion batteries
alcoholic products or beverages
food or perishable items
perfume
nail polish
aftershave
ink cartridges
aerosols
stand alone batteries
batteries including powercore/powerports which also function as a powerbank
firearms - including antique and collectible firearms and parts
precious jewellery and antiques
counterfeit goods (China)
cigars and cigar cases (USA)
eCigars and eLiquid (USA)
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Smartphones (USA)
Ni-Cad batteries (USA)

I have a feeling this is all from the Note7 issue with batteries. As I have said before back in August it was all good to ship.

That's a good political answer :-)

I've read everywhere and have no idea if these tablets have lithium batteries or whatever. Was going to get 5 as they are only $NZ50 each, quad core!

Yes, as does Amazon if you send to a reshipper in an appropriate state. Pay the extra for Oregon access, and avoid the tax. Also note shipito does complete repackaging if you want to save more.

Up until sometime after 11 november (after i ordered my drill) they changed this:

Electronic items with lithium-ion batteries
Li-Ion batteries have to be packed in the manufacturer's packaging. The retail packaging that comes with new cell phones, tablets, power tools etc., complies with air shipping regulations. Unfortunately, used items shipped without manufacturer’s packaging do not comply and are illegal to ship.

YouShop USA
Some electronic items including toys which contain lithium-ion batteries can be sent through YouShop USA. These batteries have to be packed in the manufacturer's packaging. A lithium-ion battery must not exceed 20 Wh/cell, or 100 Wh per battery/pack.

to what they have now (see Tripp's post above)

Customs don't care about batteries, so yes with shipitto it should be fine.

There is a tickbox on shipito for if it has a lithium battery, if you tick it then it shows fewer methods when you go to ship it, and they might ask for a MSDS for the battery to show its capacity and type.

What's an MSDS?
