I`m trying to send some Glanz Wax to a fellow member and the shippers said I can`t ship it since it`s a flammable chemical?!?!



I`m guessing they automatically assumed it was some sort of paint thinner or something since it comes in a metallic case.

Should I just box it up and tape it then ask them to send it and just lie if they ask about chemicals? Or should I just pour it into a plastic bottle and send it......

Pack it up well and just send it priority. If they ask `liquid, perishable, or flammable`, tell them no.

Alright that`s what I`ll do then, I never thought of it being a problem since its just a wax, even though it says flammable on the box haha.

Thanks.

I ship products all day long and UPS knows what is in the boxes. Even when I have to ship out of state and they need a super detailed invoice. I have never had any problems. I would just package it up yourself and send it.

The post office is concerned about unknown products oozing- make sure the lids are taped

Anything marked flammable, should be sent ground via UPS, FedEx, or DHL....Its for everyones protection......The majority of VOC compliant products however pose little threat....
