remove battery

You’d have to open the tablet and then you’d be invalidating the warranty.

Can you post more details on why the parcel was rejected please?

E.g. What organisation rejected your parcel and what was the exact wording they used when informing you?

oh which seller offered this option? wish i had that option when my tablet screen died.

@ above, most countries will reject lithium batteries through air mail. Mine did which is why I only managed to get a partial refund.

I have bought it by banggood.com.
they give me 2 options:

“One: you just send us the tablet back and you keep the battery, we afford half of shipping cost.
Another, we send you a new one but you need pay usUS$130 and you don’t have to send the damaged one back”.

I have sent the parcel with DHL/Deutsche Post (DHL Päckchen 2kg ca. 19€ ). It came back, because a lithium battery
was in the parcel. I can send a package  with lithium battery from Germany to China (and all countries outside from EU)
only with DHL Express. Then I have to pay 120€.

This is a weird story. I have bought lots of laptops and phones over the years, all  equipped with lithium batteries or Li ion or whatever, all came flying in from China or elsewhere.

Can you not find any other shipping agent?

Looking at DHL’s UK site I can’t see why there’d be a problem, surely the Hi12 comes under UN3481 – PI967 Section II and needs only “Lithium ion batteries in compliance with Section II of PI967 (4 cells/2 batteries or less)” as description of contents?

Lithium Ion Batteries Regulations

I’ve recently had the same problem with a smartphone with non-removable Li Ion cell. Yes it falls within UN3481 and PI967 section II and I fully discharged it and declared that on the parcel. You can ship in this way to most places, but, China has introduced new (as far as I can tell) restrictions. See this Royal mail website:- http://www.royalmail.com/china . Lithium batteries are included twice on the list of  prohibited items. The phone is brand new, and has an intermittent problem with the touch screen, so I have to send it back, but, at the moment I can’t find out how.

Surely this is going to be a huge problem in the very near future.
