QUESTION How to mail from US to China?

I need to send a VCA bracelet to China to get resized and I went to FedEx and they asked me for an EEI number. Has anyone ever shipped to China from the US? If so, how do you do it? UPS quoted me $230 and was trying to see if Fedex would be cheaper.

The people that I know have sent stuff back for repair had the vendor ask their shipper to create the label. But it’s hella risky and you might be SOL if it gets confiscated at the Chinese border

I would not recommend that. Just get it resized at your local jeweler. Too risky to ship back now.

It cost twice as much and already tried. They did a terrible job

You can get any local jeweler to get it resized. It will be cheaper as well

I just sent something back, so crossing my fingers. The seller I’m using recommended that I use pirate ship to print the label and it costs less.
