gift sets

Options
I posted off a prezzie for my sister-inlaw. I was asked what was in the pacel. Told her it wasn't her business but she still asked if there was perfume in it? I had to say yes it was a small gift set with eu de toilett spray. And because it is flamable it has to go in a special van and will cost over £3 because it is a small parcel. So god knows how much a big gift set would cost. I hope this info is of some help. There is nothing about to tell you this info and kept prity quiet. So another money making scheme. This never bothered bothered them before. So really just forewarning every one.:)

    It's been restricted for almost a year at least. When the rules changed there were posters in post offices. From the website:

    Including eau de parfum, eau de toilette and alcohol-free perfumes, but excluding non-flammable perfumed creams, gels, oils or lotions.

    Volume per item must not exceed 150ml. No more than four perfumes or aftershaves can be sent in any one package. The perfume or aftershave must be within its original retail packaging and then placed in strong outer packaging. The inner packagings must be packed, secured or cushioned to prevent breakage or leakage of their contents into the outer packaging.

    An ID8000 label must be applied ( see example ID8000 label ). The sender’s name and return address must be clearly visible on the outer packaging.


    And it is her business to make sure you are not sending prohibited items.

    Why is it not her business? They now have to hold and transport the item. Of course it's there business to know whats in it. If you don't like being asked what you are posting go and deliver it yourself at your own cost.
