Hi

In information it says it is illegal to send FE by courier. But did any of you sent it like that? Are they going to check the package etc? By courier it is much cheaper that Royal mail so I prefer that way.

Regards
Dawid
 
It's a bit silly IMO if you try and hide things like pressurised cylinders when sending by RM. I'm sure a manslaughter charge wouldn't be preferable?? That is what in effect could happen if cylinder went of in the back of a royal mail van. I'm sorry, but when dealing with these kind of things UKAPS cannot advocate this.

I never heard about any accidents involving FE that went of in the back of royal mail. Im asking because we are buying FE on ebay, here on ukaps, other sites etc. Some of us are sending them by courier, so I just need some advice and that's all.
 
They need to be clearly marked so that they aren't damaged in transit, you'd be stupid to not send them safely.

Don't be reckless
 
Ok

So how should I send them? On the package it cleary says FE so I wont hide it.
I was trying to use parels2go but once I will put the item description it says I cannot send it.

All ebay sellers are sending them by couriers, I recieved my also by courier so how should I send them?
 
Research the different couriers until you find one that will take it.

Then let us know which ones we can use :)
 
I use APC for cylinders of 500g and dhl for anything up to 72.2kg. Anything higher goes by the cylinder company.
I also import them from Germany using dhl or dpd...

All accept cylinders. These are however not fe's so you may need to check. All boxes need to be clearly marked with the green diamond detailing pressurised gas.
