Need help with shipping something
Jul 30th, 2011 at 10:00pm
 
I sold some vintage matchbooks on eBay and need to ship them.  USPS has it on their hazardous material list so that's a no go.  Anyone know who I could ship these through?

Thanks in advance!

Nobody will take that kind of flammable material.

You could ship it undeclared....

No, I can't have that on my conscience.  I wrote the buyer and offered to either take the matches out or refund the money.  Ah well, Ce la vie!

Thanks Brew

It's all in the packaging and labeling. Check with UPS or FEDEX ground. I buy ammunition online. Sometimes ya just can't put it on an airplane.

Yes, I should have clarified - no air carrier will take that if it's declared.

Well, I did end up shipping it but only because the buyer was VERY insistant and lives in WI, so it didn't have a long way to go.

I'm assuming you sent it by some sort of ground transport?
