 Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2007 5:12 pm Post subject: Shipping Perfumes |
 |
|
I sold a perfume before. I didn't know that couriers don't accept perfumes. They say it's hazardous. Wow, I am such an idiot. I thought they can ship anything. I had to cancel and refund the payment.
I asked a perfume seller about shipping perfumes. The seller said it's an industry secret. I was intrigued. Hmm...can someone tell me how to ship perfumes? Do I have to lie or something? I don't want to,. |

Yes, a lot of couriers will not accept it as it is classified as flamable & some bottles are also pressurised. Those who do, will only accept it as ground mail - ie, it can not be sent overseas.
Some sellers on ebay, mark there parcels as cosmetic or makeup. However, as a seller is it really worth the risk that the item may get confiscated in the post. It will only lead to unhappy buyers. |

| The rules have recently changed about this here in the UK (not sure where you are based) because of terrorism. We're not allowed to bring back perfumes from Duty Free shops that are over 100ml (or something like that). |

| Not recommended to post perfumes. If your unsure, ask the courier concerned whether they permit the shipping of it or not. |

I sold a perfume before and had problems with shipping too! My courier said that they cannot said my item. So, I went home and wrapped the perfume really well. I went back to my courier and told the package was a collectible toy. 
Okay okay, I know what I did was wrong. I was just so desperate. I'll never do that again because it's just so risky. |

Yes that is a problem. I think Mark is right. perfume can not sent overseas.
But you can contact with ebay forum, there were so many sellers , they can provide some help tips to you.
