Heather in Neverland Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 We bought a kindle last May. While we were en route to Malaysia, at the Hong Kong airport, it stopped working. Once we arrived in Malaysia, we sent it back to Amazon and they sent us another one. Well, they don't ship them overseas. So I had them mail it to my brother, then he mailed it to us. But when it arrived in Penang the post office would NOT give it to us. :glare: They wanted us to pay some outrageous fee that was almost as much as the kindle was new!!! So a man who works with us and is a local went down there to plead our case (and he speaks the language). And lo and behold he came back with it, no charge! Of course it did cost a mint to send it to amazon and to pay to have it mailed back and the whole fiasco took 6 weeks but... It is back! I was half-way through "Three Cups of Tea" when it quit working. Now I can FINALLY finish the book! :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 That's great! I've heard of people in the Philippines (where my dh is from) having to pay the P.O. a "bribe" to get their packages. One lady paid a big bribe for a birthday package and then found out it was a box of chocolates filled with stuff she didn't even like! Have fun reading.
