I have a couple of plastidip spray paints that I never used nor intend to so I want to sell these, so wondering if there are any restrictions on posting them via royal mail?

Cheers
 
Yeh read that, but its so vague, am sure ive had similar things delivered via royal mail.

How else can I post them as it seems couriers dont transport them either.

Vague?

The first item in their list of prohibited items is 'Aerosols not for personal grooming or medicinal purposes' and gives examples of 'spray paints, lacquers, solvents, air fresheners, oven cleaners, etc.'.

it says no spray paint. and tbh given you can get drugs delivered by post i wouldn't worry lol.

unless your doing this as a business.
 
Vague as in it doesn't give much detail.

Not taking the risk though as I have about £100 pounds worth of spray paints, so they will probably destroy it if they check it!

So annoying!
 
RM delivered a box full of Isopropyl Alcohol cans to my door a long while back, caused quite a ruckus at the local depot and I was called over to explain why I had broken RM's rules, I promptly showed them a print out of an email exchange between me and the supplier where I ask for courier shipping because RM do not deliver hazardous goods, they told me not to do it again and that was that.
 
Oh, and I had a couple of cans of model makers spray paint and laquer delivered through the letter post.
Bizarrely nothing came of it which is weird as the cleaning spray cans were non aerosol whereas the paint cans were. :/

RM should take it up with the sender, I would have told them to do just that
