Shipping Perfume changes

[Charity1217]

USPS has changed the regulations regarding shipping of perfume.  It now has to be sent through Parcel Post which was explained to me as being slower and much more expensive.  I mailed 1 sample perfume vial from Birchbox and the cost was $5.55 instead of the normal $1.85.  It has to be shipped by truck only so it takes longer also.  I wanted to let you all know so you don't end up paying much more for your trade than you thought it would be.  I'm going to be checking UPS and Fed-Ex to see what their costs are but until then I'm removing all perfumes from my trade list.

I think they do this with nail polish as well because they are liquid and flammable.

I asked about nail polish and he said no.  The changes are for perfumes and alkaline batteries.
