This was bound to happen, sooner or later.

I hope we won't see that too often in guangzhou

Eric,

 

Phillip mentioned that this situation might happen if one leaves their passport at the consulate, and recommended that people do not. Now I can see why he stated that opinion and it appears to be good advice.  >Jim

yes, I never intended to leave a passport in the first place anyway..

Nor do I intend to xpress mail it.... and have it sit in their mail room a few days. Or get lost on its way to GZ, or get "misplaced" or get lost/delayed on the way back..etc.....Murphy's lurking..

I discussed a plan with Charlotte for Shanghai folks to avoid this and the high cost of actually flying there.

Eric,

 

I read your posts and think your idea is excellent. Has anyone contacted GZ to see if your idea is feasible there? It would save folks a lot of RMB.   >Jim

not yet, but I will

Make sense on the math too.. follow me..

 

Average SHA-CAN r/t ticket USD 450, maybe a bit less but not much

/ ( assume) 6 people getting passports = USD 75 per passport

Hopefully, the person going won't have to overnight..

DHL/ Fedex or whatever probably will cost USD 60 anyway..You get the piece of mind for 15 ( roundtrip same day ) or 25 bucks ( with one night hotel ) bucks more per passport. 30 dollars top with incidentals.

 

Let's see ..

Pick-up/ Drop-off at GZ : option a/ 450+ $ option b/ 100 $ or so

darn.. hard decision...

Mailing to GZ $ 60 or so and you get Murphy to ride along with the enveloppes !

 

 

If my fiancee wants to go , I'll even cover the 50 RMB airport charge myself..LOL..
