Royal Mail petition against restrictions on posting paint

Re: Royal Mail petition against restrictions on posting pain

I saw this as well, as an ex postman (10 years) all I can say is nothing gets xrayed to see contents if it stays in country. But if your ordering your paints international it may cause a problem.

Currently I buy all my paints online from UK :(
 
Re: Royal Mail petition against restrictions on posting pain

I buy all my paints from the UK too - this is a total pain in the arse. I wonder what they'll do with paint sets - will the paint manufacturers be forced to break them up to sell them abroad?

My best guess is that not many packages will be stopped for 15ml bottles but rather effects stuff like 150ml cans. BTW your not allows to send Spray cans either but they are never stopped (At least I never saw it happen)

every time I order spray cans now (from ebay shops like troll trader) they tend to come via courier just in case
I suppose the big concern isn't whether it will be 100% enforced by royal mail, but rather that sellers will err on the side of caution and insist on sending via multiple packages

either way, I'm glad I bought foundry's ultimate paint set last year and not next ;)
 
Re: Royal Mail petition against restrictions on posting pain

My girlfriend ordered me paints for my birthday. They came through just fine, but one was a wrong colour and when she went to return it was told she couldn't post paint. Now bear in mind this is one small bottle of game colour and she had just received 20 of the same bottles through the post no problem! They did accept the return with a bit of insistence.
