Hi
Here's the deal.
NO perfume is SUPPOSED to be shipped First Class or PRIRORITY, since they both go by air.
And NO perfume is to be shipped overseas.
The sellers that ship it by air are either lying about what is in the package or nobody is asking them.
I just received an email from a buyer today wanting to know where her perfume samples are, and have they been shipped?
Yes, they were shipped 5 days ago USPS PARCEL POST, which can take as long as or more than 10 days.
I believe that the companies you are talking about shipping by air...that a special container built for flammable items is on the plane and they go into that container in case the plane catches on fire, crashes or whatever.
It really bugs me, because I try to do the right thing, I certainly don't want a plane to explode because I cheated and shipped perfume! And kill a bunch of people.
The clerk also told me that if the airlines discover that usps is shipping flammable products and they get caught, that they could lose their contract w/them.
And you have to mark your package with all of that ORM flashpoint stuff to, so they know what degrees of heat is likely to cause the liquid to erupt into fire.
I wish a seller that ships perfume by air would come by and tell us why or how they do it..I'd be curious.
And there are no exceptions....it doesn't matter how tiny the amount of perfume it is....I used to think if it was just a tiny sample, no big deal...I was WRONG!
