Pretty much anything can be sent via courier
What happens if/when they find out is a different matter

What happens if/when they find out is a different matter I hear what you say but I believe one can be prosecuted for knowingly sending prohibited items. ....off course hard to prove the knowingly bit  |

I've got a dozen cans of spray paint on their way to me via UPS and they are marked as hazardous materials so they seem fine with it.

I brought some off a large car modification company via. eBay and they sent them via. Royal Mail with a sticker saying 'aerosol' on the box.
Don't know the legailtys, but they did it.

I buy spray cans from Screwfix and Toolstation that are delivered by courier. They tape over the cap and wrap the whole container in a plastic bag before putting in the box with other items being delivered at the same time.

My local post office refused to accept the parcel. Showed me the list of no-no's and sent me away. Since then I have looked on line nd even ites like parcel2go, parcel monkey state that aerosols aren't acceptable. Confused, I am !

Have you heard of anyone being cautioned or prosecuted for sending them? It may be against the courier's written rules, and if something happened ie, an explosion, they might give you grief but it is so ubiquitous you may as well send them I just received a 6 litre fire extinguisher by courier from a business seller on ebay. I would imagine that would have some restrictions but in general everyone does it |
