Q: Mainland to HK...
shipping a small parcel, like the size of 2 shoeboxes, value <1000¥, not fragile, non-hazardous material, recipient: licensed foreign worker in HK.
Anyone have any first-hand experience with this? Any/all tips, advice appreciated.
Am I on the right track with SF Express?

You'll be good with SF. Other one is Yunda, I use it with delivery to HK in some 3 days.
Tips ... pack it well, 'content of the box can't shake, so wrap the content in some newspaper before you close the box, and Yunda or SF guy will write recipient&sender's address on his form and he'll glue it on the parcel after you'll pay some 200 RMB.
Cost of shipping is determined by size and weight of the parcel.

I won't 
buy new umbrella 
or new tent ... in this century.
I'll use e-Tities double-pints-raincoats, instead!

I shipped faulty HD (250g) from Bijie, Guizhou, to HK for 190 RMB or around. Just regular shipping, not express. I had Chinese teacher with me and he talked to Yunda guy, so price was right, he he.
Giuzhou is similar to Nepal, i.e. high elevation, so all shipping charges are upped, teacher told me. I spent tonne when I moved from Kaifeng to Bijie for the same reason.
I think, shipping is cheaper, if value of package is below 1000 Rmb.
Englteachted:
HK is part of China except when crossing the border, taking a plane, shipping, shopping, reality
Well, this is just from Zhejiang, so maybe they'll be reasonable,,, but it's a lot more than 250g,,, maybe 1.5kg. :(
I'll probably wait and carry it next time I go 'abroad' or is that 'go look for a broad'?

Call express guy and after he'll measure everything and tell you the shipping cost, you tell him you don't have that much money ...
yeah,,, haha,,, love it when u put them through all the hassle , then tell 'em,, ' xiexie,, I'm just shopping around',,, haha,,, I had a few watch shops in Kowloon nearly blow a fuse over that!

While watch sellers are pushers and this guy come 'cause you want to ship something. He's on call, buTT ... doesn't matter, if it's too expensive, I (being a cheapo) change my mind fast and often ...
