Cancelled return

[themobilenailmaven63]

I decided not to return the Handmade Newborn Sleeping Baby Girl Silicone Doll due to the fact that it cost more to send the doll back, than it did to purchase it. The cost of the doll itself was $82.00 with free shipping where as, to return the item would have cost me at the $210.00. 

Unfortunately, the little girl that it was purchased for was uncomfortable with the doll and it scared her. It's even more unfortunate, that I will lose more trying to return it.

It's unfortunate that it scared the little girl you purchased it for, but how would this be the seller's responsibility to provide you return shipping? Nothing is "free" so the shipping cost was incorporated into the purchase price. It cost the seller money to ship you that doll, they didn't get it shipped free of cost. I am assuming this is an international sale being the return shipping cost is so high. This is a buyer's remorse return and you only have 5 business days to upload tracking or the request is closed in the seller's favor. They done nothing wrong and provided you with exactly what you ordered. If it were me I'd try to sell it locally and get back what you've got in it rather than paying that much to return.

I don't blame the little girl. Those dolls scare me too.

The reason the seller could ship it free is because the Chinese government subsidizes postage for those sellers. The U.S. government does not.  That is the risk buying things from China. If you want to return it, it will cost you.

So why not sell the doll? When buying internationally, one should always confisder the cost of returning the item if the purchase doesn't work out. You can buy those dolls here in the US too.

I would have to agree with Jen and the others that it would probably be a good idea to re-sell it yourself.
