Cheapest way to mail a package to Hong Kong (air, tracking number)?

Probably not the most appropriate forum, but this is actually a photographic item (a lens) which I have to send back to manufacturer in Hong Kong for an exchange, so somewhat relevant. They promised to cover reasonable costs of shipping to them, but the cheapest I can find at Canada Post (air, tracking number) is 64$ (with taxes). The package is 26x18x15cm, 0.85 kg. I am in Hamilton BTW.

Are there cheaper options available to mail packages to Hong Kong?

Thanks!

DHL? I dunno that's just how a lot of sellers there ship things here, not sure if it's cheaper than CP going the other way but worth looking into.

Thanks, but DHL is substantially more expensive than Canada Post.

What I was thinking of if there is a Hong- Kong / China based shipping company with offices in Canada. E.g. I had a very positive experience shipping packages to Ukraine using Ukraine-based company Meest, which has an office in Hamilton. They are both cheap and reliable.
