Hey guys, I was just wondering...Do you have to do anything special to ship aftershaves splashes? I may be selling my new Denim aftershaves soon, because of girlfriend grief.
I'd hate to tell you one thing then have USPS tell you you can't ship it because... Best to just ask them.
All liquids should be declared. If it's hazardous material (I'm not sure what they consider hazardous..but flammable I know is) it cost a little more. If you don't, and it leaks, they can fine you. I have a local post office that has a substation at a gas station....they don't ask, so I don't tell. Last time I mailed some eliquid, I told them that it was a liquid and had to get a msds on the stuff. I agree with the above comment, give the USPS local a call and ask.
Alright, thanks for the advice. My girlfriend gets real strict on ingredients in body products when it gets around that time. Mainstream stuff always has crappy ingredients in it, but I like to try some of the classics anyway.
All liquids and anything flammable need to be "declared" per post-911 regulations and your package will (probably) cost a little more for special handling. If it's more flammable than aftershave, they will not ship it and you will have to use a package service such as UPS or FedEx. They can refuse to ship anything/everything liquid and/or flammable, but I haven't had a problem. The amount being shipped might come into play too. Note that I haven't actually read the regs. This is just word-of-mouth told to me by a postal worker and personal experience.
Sounds good. They're 3.4oz/100ml glass bottles of Denim Original aftershave. Got 3 off Ebay for 17.99 with free shipping .
Ha true. It was shipped in a very paranoid manner. A USPS priority bubble mailer instead of a USPS priority bubble mailer.
Call/visit local post office. If shipping within USA, probably ok, International, no way, especially Europe, because most AS have alcohol. https://www.usps.com/ship/shipping-restrictions.htm Again I would talk to them first. Not worth having something happen and you end with a visit from Feds/fines etc...
I tried to ship some AS to a TSD member on Canada. If it goes by air, the answer is forget it. FedEx would do it for about $25.
So, does that mean that I don't have your stamp of approval? Or did I get it only for you to cancel it?
I've shipped AS a few times without a problem. I printed out the postage after buying on line put it in a bubble mailer after wrapping it with plastic wrap. Taped the USPS mailing print out and dropped it in the package slot at the post office. Florida to California. No probléma.
