Lipo Postage Restrictions

[James]

I believe as of the beginning of July you now cannot send used or new lipos that are not attached to an electrical device through the post office.

Any thoughts on this? Anyone know how business are dealing with this?

You have to declare what you are posting when at the post office, if you refuse to declare the innards they destroy the package.

Not sure how the r/c community will get around it - unless its only Royal Snail doing it.

Never had to declare specific contents of any packet I have sent through Royal Mail or other courier Nothing more than a declaration of the value of the item (s) being posted or maybe a brief description, i.e. toy car parts.
