Is a plunge circular saw considered a 'bladed' item with RM?

Options
I've had a look through RM's new bladed policy for sending such an article but can't see if a cordless circular saw is included.

Anyone sent anything like this? I've sent plenty of similar saws and also drills but not something which has a 10'' blade. If not, what couriers would anyone recommend? There's quite a lot of these (same model or similar) on eBay so unsure who other sellers are using to send it. Tia.

    You could consider sending the blade separately, then neither is a "bladed item"

    you are fine

    put it in a box

    pad it out with pink dustbin bags

    put in down as a power tool with cashier and post it

    they are after machette/knives not work tools

    UPDATE.....I sold the saw a few weeks ago, sent with RM Tracked 48. Didn't have any probs with a happy buyer, so for anyone who may query where they stand on 'bladed' items in future, RM is a green light for anything like this.
