[quote=BARONTWANGLE,283474]I tried to send some CD's containing photos through China Post, and EMS, but was refused.  They told me I had to go to the police station and get the CD's "approved".  So that is exactly what I did, but when I told the police to approve them, they looked at me as though I had just landed from Mars.  They had no idea what they were supposed to do, and it seems that (like many other things in China) you just get passed off from one official body to the next, with none of them cooperating with each other.

The fact that China Post accept only things in their own packaging is a joke.  I did some investigation into this a couple of years ago (as it was causing a major obstacle to a business plan I had), and the official answer from someone of authority was that unless letters, postcards, or parcels are in China Post approved packaging, then they won't be able to pass through their automated system.  This of course is total rubbish, as things sent from abroad (obviously not in China Post approved packaging) manage to pass through the system with no problems at all.
