It sounds like he will give your money back less shipping? It sounds reasonable, take what you can get. ..............
I say reasonable since the seller spent the shipping money once to get you the wing, it isn't his fault it got messed up and shouldn't have to refund the money.
I tend to agree. The seller acted in good faith and met his obligation to send you the wing. Thru no fault of his or yours, the mistake is not really his responsibility nor should he be expected to take actions beyond what he has already done. Refunding your money less shipping charges seems fair, since he already has time invested in packing and traveling to the postal service to mail the package.

is US Mail too tiresome to claim a refund from?
You hit it on the head. Plus the root cause of your problem happened in your country. Imagine trying to fish through two countries policies for a few dollars. If it was a very large sum of money it might be worth it but not for anything under $100. Especially considering the seller has nothing to gain for his trouble
Wow, this is getting more and more interesting and very, very educating.
Just hypothetically, if the transportation mistake had taken place in U.S. or during a reload in, let's say Ireland (approximately half way between me and the seller), would that change any moral or legal obligation for the seller?
Again, I'm not trying to prove any point here, I'm just trying to learn something that's outside my normal conception/comprehension/apprehension. (Please ignore the irrelevant words. Google Translate gave several suggestions...)
Anyway, I really appreciate that you've taken your time and explain this to me. You have already made me cool down in my disappointment about being scre**d about the shipment cost. Thanks a lot to all of you.
