Shipping after shave?

[Sue]

Interesting hazmat fines -- even nail polish and ink. If you can prove you didn't know what you were doing was illegal, it's civil. If 'they' prove you were 'willful', it's criminal, a felony. If you work for a company and do so as an employee, you can still be held liable as an individual.

FYI

Witch hazel is classified as a flammable liquid by the USPS.
Keep that in mind when PIFfing some Thayers to another member.

*thinks* of all the ebay sellers who are in violation of the law cause they ship just about everything. And most don't know they are in violation of the law. But ebay doesn't make sure they know either or most wouldn't sell and they would lose in fee's. Sad they note when you buy an item in the baby section to check the recall info but they don't tell sellers (or buyers) that are selling nail polish that it can't legally be put into first class mail.

It says Witch Hazel is good to go surface, they are probably assuming that all witch hazel contains alcohol, which we here know isn't true . I don't believe the alcohol free ones are flamable at all..

I was told by our postmistress who is a stickler for the rules, that they are not allowed to open any item except media mail. And only then if they suspect the package contains other materials other than books.

I do ship liquids that are non-toxic and safe to mail quite often. And out of a thousand packages only once a package did come back to me with a label stating they didn't know what the liquid contents was so it was returned. So from then on i started adding a label to the package saying the liquid contents are in permanently sealed bottles and does not require hazmat.

I'll feel safer next time I fly, no unmarked or concealed books in the belly of the aircraft.

Anyone know if you can get internet access in prison? If not, it wouldn't be worth the risk of losing touch via B&B. Mostly for threads like this one!

(Wonder what our customers would think of receiving a absolutely "FREE Missouri Rock"? Maybe call them paperweights and stamp em with our logo?)

It could be the rebirth of the "Pet Rock"!

All witch hazel contains alcohol. The ones that do not, are not real witch hazel.

I remember them! Fantastic idea

[Obsessed]

If I get caught, will you also send me some shaving gear in jail?

Better get a lot, because you'll likely have to share it with your new "friends."

Edit: just a joke; no offense, innuendo, or implication intended; not aimed specifically at mretzloff!

Are you trying to start another witch hazel thread?

Shame on you, go to your room, you're grounded thru the weekend!

No problems. If its been opened, just wrap some masking tape over the cap to be safe. They'll panic and destroy it if they see a wet corner on the box.

I'd recommend electrical tape.

It would work better, I just suggested masking because it doesn't usually leave any glue residue, unless you let it bake in the sun and dry up for a month.
