Title: changes to restrictions on royal mail post.

So how are vendors going to send e-juice in the post when the new postage rules come into play in the next few weeks. As the items will have nicotine in them and therefore come under toxic liquids, which will become prohibited to send. Waiting in anticipation. On tender hooks . :-{

Forgot to say I actually work for thd post office, and as far as we can see, at the moment the nicotine liquids are classed as toxic so are prohibited as of 14th july, and will not be able to be sent through the post. Or at least thats where everything is pointing at the moment.

Perhaps they will start hand-delivering our e-liquids straight to our doors? I wouldn't be surprised with TW! ;)

Perhaps TW will use a courier service, after all it will be down to the courier what they carry.
Wow I bet royal mail will lose some money with this ::)

I hope that is the case and that its not to do with the actual transport regulations, because if that's the case, it will be the same for all. Fingers snd toes crossed, cant be without my e-liquid..

But if it was transport regulations, then surely they would have to say that no one can carry
nicotine liquid in their cars!!..... would be a little hard to enforce I think....
I reckon its just RM going off on one again, like they did earlier in the year with the battery
regulations.... no wonder they have to keep putting the price of stamps up! lol ::)

This is getting ridiculous! It's like a bloody witch hunt were being prohibited and restricted and for what? NOTHING! This is crazy, I have seen more dangerous stuff delivered in the post than nicotine, how about glass for instance or oil or paint are these banned NO! If they are they still get delivered by Royal mail, because I have seen it as a casual worker sorting and delivering!
Sounds like health and safety gone mad again. There are things that do get delivered by Royal Mail that shouldn't most people don't care it's revenue at the end of the day! :)

Looks like a courier service like ups will be needed if the local mail won't transport it. That might be a bad hit to the postal finances. This is the first I've heard of this over there but over here postal service is doing horrible and couldn't afford to do this unless required by law.
I'm super curious now....
Does anyone have documentation on this new regulation?
Can TW confirm what's happening here?

This is what ive found on royal mail website, although it dosnt specifically say nicotine, the products are labelled themselves as toxic, so surely they come under this section,

http://www.royalmail.com/business/help-and-support/tell-me-about-prohibited-goods
Poisonous, toxic liquids, solids or gasesIncluding substances that are liable to cause death or injury if swallowed or inhaled or by skin contact, such as arsenic, beryllium, cyanide, fluorine, rat poison.
So not sure what they are saying, if its ok or not, would just like to know for sure. Cos if at the moment soneone came in to my post office and, once asked what was inside, they replied "a nicotine based solution" from what we know we are unable to send.

So this must include analogues as well as they include all of the formentioned poisons in one
