Lipo Courier...

[PaulJC]

I know it';s been a no no for a while, just wondering if anyone new or any companies have new terms that allow the carrying of lipo';s...

Now i';ve gone DJI i';ve got 3 x 6S 10000mah, 4 x 6S 5000mah and 6 x 3S 2200mah that could go to a better home but the grief of getting them delivered just means they are sitting here doing nothing :/

So, any ideas?

I regularly get Stihl Li-Ion batteries delivered by TNT. They always come with a hazardous good form though. There might be a few extra hoops to jump through. I think DPD do them, too.

No batteries through TNT, DPD works through business accounts only, thanks tho :)

Parcelforce must carry batteries as i have had to go to post office to pick up deliveries including batteries from hobbyking,there was a white label  describing the contents also indicating batteries and type of batteries.parcelforce wont deliver to my addy as i live in a communal block with an entry system.

It';s an odd one.  Some companies carry for business clients that they do lots of trade with - like Hobbyking and Parcelforce.  But they don';t necessarily accept LiPo batteries from the general public.   :huh

TNT will accept LiPo';s as long as they';re sent with equipment.  So if you put a LiPo in a box with a cheap electrical item (a faulty PCB board or £2 volt meter etc.) they should take it.

I';ve sent lipos via the royal mail, paid on line and selected the battery option then printed off the hazard label from their website.

I will look closer at TNT and investigate the royal mail option... :)

Scrub that it was parcelforce and you can';t send used lipos

Are you asking in advance of a sale?

Yep, Royal Mail + hazard label.
