Can i send perfume drop and go in royal mail

According to Royal Mail's guidelines, perfume and fragrances are considered hazardous materials and are subject to specific regulations when shipping.

In general, Royal Mail has the following restrictions and requirements for shipping perfume and fragrances:

  1. Prohibited items: Perfume and fragrances containing flammable liquids, gases, or solids are prohibited from being sent by Royal Mail.
  2. Restricted items: Perfume and fragrances containing flammable liquids, gases, or solids that are not prohibited can be sent, but they must be properly packaged and declared as hazardous goods.
  3. Packaging requirements: Perfume and fragrances must be packaged in leak-proof containers to prevent spills or leaks during transit.
  4. Labeling requirements: The package must be clearly labeled as "Hazardous Goods" and include the following information:
    • The name and address of the shipper and consignee.
    • The nature of the goods (e.g., perfume, fragrance).
    • The words "Hazardous Goods" or "Dangerous Goods" in red letters.
  5. Declaration requirements: The shipper must complete a hazardous goods declaration form, which can be obtained from Royal Mail or downloaded from their website.
  6. Special handling: Perfume and fragrances may require special handling and may not be eligible for certain services, such as tracked or signed-for services.

To ensure that your perfume drop and go is shipped safely and in compliance with Royal Mail's regulations, I recommend the following:

  1. Check the ingredients and composition of your perfume to ensure it does not contain flammable liquids, gases, or solids.
  2. Package the perfume in a leak-proof container to prevent spills or leaks during transit.
  3. Declare the perfume as hazardous goods on the shipping label and include the required information.
  4. Complete a hazardous goods declaration form and attach it to the outside of the package.
  5. Choose a shipping service that is suitable for hazardous goods, such as Royal Mail's "Hazardous Goods" service.

If you're unsure about any aspect of shipping your perfume, I recommend contacting Royal Mail directly for guidance and advice.
