Go to the post office, get the smallest cheapest padded envelope, send it. No need for tracking or a box and all that noise, its already broken! Your probably gonna have to order a new one anyway, so ship that one back for $3, and get a new one for $4.50 (cheapest shipping to N.E. Ohio). After all a new one is $14.
As for the international guys... Sorry

As long as the post office is close to you and doesn't add 15minutes of time for travel and fuel expenses.. at that point you just spent more. For many it is just easier to throw on a order and have it dropped to the house w/ no effort time/gas when you drop on fees. As the other guy noted they also charge shipping back to you when they use the coupon method (not sure if this is accurate) but that really kills it at that point and then is cheaper to buy a new part. Yes 13.50 new - coupon or discount if applicable for the gearbox.
