Posting mobile phone power banks

dotchas

I have a couple of power banks that I would like to sell. I can't work out if I can post them by RM or not. Or can I send them by courier, Hermes etc?
Grateful for any help:o

You can post them in devices, but you need to declare and properly mark the package.

Whether you get someone that knows this or says not allowed is a different matter.

Not sure what you mean "in devices" they are stand alone power banks

You need to read the prohibited/restricted lists on the carrier you are going to use and establish if you can send.

If your selling a phone with a battery then you maybe OK. If your selling a phone battery alone then it most likely wont be OK.

A powerbank maybe a problem for some as it may have more batteries than they allow.

It all depends on the Wh number on the product. If it's under 100Wh then it's fine. Read the rules and restrictions here:

Dont post any power backbanks via royal mail they will dispose of the parcel. 7 out of 10 they will not get delivered. They do not return the parcel and I would recommend hermes.

I wouldn't - batteries are on their prohibited list
