Sending 25 (or so) perfume samples within the UK - am I allowed to do this?

crispsandwich

I'm looking to send around 25 fragrance samples (ranging from 0.5ml to 4ml) within the UK. I'm confused about the Royal Mail regulations.

The samples are all sealed and wrapped up, will I have problems sending them?

Are there any workarounds or other couriers that will take them if Royal Mail won't?

Many thanks .

Royal Mail will be fine I think it's different if they are going abroad.

I suspect they may be worried about leakage in transit. Do they specify special packing requirements?

Can you post a link and perhaps someone can help decipher them?

I often get sample size fragrances through the post, so I don't think it will be a problem There's only ever been one mishap, and that was where the sender just sent it in a plain envelope and the glass vial shattered in transit. On the plus side, my mail box smelt lovely and fragrant for a few days..

If you put them in a jiffy bag or protective mailing box it should be fine.

I have send them in the past well wrapped in bubble wrap and then in padded envelopes. If you are very worried I would indeed send it over more than one parcel!
