Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Anya Yesterday I sent out a bunch of perfume samples via the USPS. Today they are refusing them because of the red alert. This could seriously effect our businesses. I've never used FedEx or UPS, but I guess I'll have to start, and they're much more expensive. Oil or alcohol, they're refusing liquids. What do y'all say about this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Anya, All, I just got off the phone with Fed Ex (with a Cust. Svc agent that was actually quite thorough in his information search) and they are not having any restrictions in regards to shipping liquids OR shipping perfumes. Fed Ex, having their own air fleet, isn't subject to same restrictions that the Post Office may be since the USPS cargo is shipped in the bellies of commercial flights. Now on to calling the Post Office and UPS to get their latest info ... *Smile* Chris http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the folks at the national number and Sugar Land Post Master, who contacted several other colleagues and folks above his head to make sure his information is accurate .. there are no new shipping restrictions in place with the USPS. They did however say, that you might have had a problem cause it was perfume and they do have restriction on sending alcohol based perfumes, but that is nothing new. I'm not calling UPS cause I never ship with their overpriced selves anyway *Smile* Chris Natural Awapuhi Extract, Unrefined Rose Hip Seed Oil Traditional Pressed Certified Organic Virgin Coconut Oil Pre-Buy Special - TWO WEEKS ONLY! http://www.alittleolfactory.com/prebuys.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
