Can you post perfume by royal mail

Yes, Royal Mail does allow the posting of perfumes, but there are some specific guidelines and restrictions you should be aware of:

  1. Perfume restrictions: Perfumes are considered hazardous materials and are subject to specific regulations. You can only send perfumes by Royal Mail if they are in their original packaging, unopened, and in a leak-proof container.
  2. Packaging requirements: Perfumes must be packed in a sturdy, leak-proof container to prevent leakage or spillage during transit. You should also wrap the perfume bottle in bubble wrap or paper to prevent damage.
  3. Labeling requirements: You must clearly label the package as "Perfume" and include the following information:
    • The contents of the package (e.g., "Perfume")
    • The value of the contents (in case of loss or damage)
    • The sender's and recipient's addresses
  4. Postage options: You can send perfumes by Royal Mail's standard postal services, such as 1st Class or 2nd Class, but you may need to use a more expensive service, such as Special Delivery, if the perfume is valuable or fragile.
  5. Prohibited destinations: Some countries have restrictions on importing perfumes, so you should check with the destination country's customs regulations before sending a perfume.
  6. Customs forms: You may need to complete a customs form (CN23) if you're sending a perfume internationally. This form requires you to declare the contents of the package, including the perfume's value and any relevant restrictions.
