Thinking of sending something a bit unusual or sensitive?
It’s important to know that courier services have restrictions on certain items to comply with laws and ensure safety.
Commonly Restricted Items
- Hazardous Materials: This includes explosives, flammable items, and toxic substances.
- Perishable Goods: Some couriers restrict food items or require special handling.
- Illegal Substances: Any items prohibited by law cannot be shipped.
- Valuables and Fragile Items: Some couriers may have restrictions or require additional insurance for high-value or fragile items.
Check The Restrictions on Courier’s Website:
Most couriers list prohibited and restricted items on their website.
Customer Service:
When in doubt, a quick call or email can clarify whether your item is shippable.
Before sending something out of the ordinary, ensure it’s not on the restricted list of your chosen courier service. Doing so can save you from legal troubles and ensure your package is delivered without a hitch.
