The rules for shipping have changed. Your shipped items will be returned to you unless you follow the new guidelines of Pub 52 from USPS. Spare batteries must be in a rigid box. The box must be the outer layer, you cannot put the box in a poly. I have always used the correct labeling by utilizing the drop down when selecting the shipping label to scroll to the hazardous one. I learned last year you also must put the label on the back with the UN3480 label and phone number. Now after many spare batteries lost in transit, I have learned of the new outer box rule that took effect on Jan 27, 2025. The clerk at the post office didn't even know, so I am telling others to spare you the postage I have now lost out on, and possibly the batteries too. There are still 2 of them out there in the system of recent and 2 others from long ago. But others in the middle that were delivered just fine. 🤔
