Are there any restrictions on items I can send?

Asked 2 years ago
UK Mail has a range of restrictions on items that can be sent through their services, which is important for customers to be aware of when preparing their shipments. Generally, there are certain categories of items that are prohibited or restricted due to safety, legal, or logistical reasons. Prohibited items typically include dangerous goods such as explosives, flammable materials, and corrosive substances. Additionally, items that may pose a risk to health and safety, such as live animals or perishable goods, are often subject to restrictions. Customers should also refrain from sending counterfeit items, illegal substances, or items that violate intellectual property rights. There can also be specific regulations on personal items like cash, precious metals, and certain electronics. UK Mail may impose size and weight restrictions as well, which vary depending on the service selected. For example, the maximum dimensions and weight limits might differ between standard parcel services and express delivery options. Customers are encouraged to review the most current guidelines available on the UK Mail website. There, they can find detailed information about permissible items and any additional restrictions specific to the service they intend to use. It is always advisable to ensure that the goods being sent comply with legal and regulatory requirements to avoid delays or issues with delivery.
