It's really not being rewarded; even if they ship it for free, I'm not coming out ahead as I still won't have my camera charger for the rest of my trip. I'm also not confident that it really costs them that much to ship; I understand being charged, but I feel like it should be at cost. It seems like they're billing this the same way they'd bill me as a guest to ship a bunch of product samples to clients.

Anyway, I was just wondering if others have had experience with Marriott on this sort of issue. I've been talking with their manager, and there's apparently another concern in that batteries can't be shipped via int'l mail, although I know that FedEx/UPS/DHL definitely do take them. Also, battery plus charger cost about $65 now, apparently, so that may be the proper route as opposed to paying 400+ RMB and hoping they show up.
