    Default What to do with 3M full-face respirator that is the wrong size

    I didn't post this to the marketplace since I don't actually have the item in Australia yet and thus technically don't have anything to sell. I'm just trying to work out if I should return it to the seller or not.

    I just ordered a 3M full-face respirator from amazon and have received it at the shipping service I use in the US. They send photos of each item as it's received, and when I saw the picture I only then noticed I had ordered the wrong size (medium instead of large - I've attached the photo they sent me to this post)

    I need to decide what to do with this. To return it would cost me more than having it shipped here, due to special handling/re-boxing/postage fees charged by my shipping forwarder for this exception (since I am merging multiple orders together, the shipping cost of this one item - if included with the rest of my order being sent to Australia - isn't that much compared to the total shipping).

    The mask accepts external air supply or alternately uses filters (particulate or vapor). It doesn't come with any though. I also ordered some P90 and P100 filters with it and could probably spare one or two (or could order some extra if someone wanted something specific).

    Does anything think a member might be interested in taking it off my hands for my cost price? (amazon charged me US$108.69). If there is interest I'll have it forwarded here with the rest of my order, rather than returning it.

    The item can be seen on amazon [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RTG84A/?m=A3NCJ0VRDRJJDR"]here[/ame] (note the link is for the version supplied by coast to coast safety and is $99 but they charge shipping. I got mine from amazon's warehouse directly with no shipping fee but it cost a few dollars more).
