How do you mail e-liquid

[oplholik]

First Class, Priority? Whenever I mail an item first class, I'm asked if the package contains anything fragile, liquid , or explosive. Is it illegal to mail liquid first class? Seems that my e-liquid I order comes Priority, so I assume that that is the preferred way. I am going to, I think, put a couple of my un-used liquids in the classifieds and was wondering the best way to send them. Thanks.

I mail liquid first class all the time and Ive never had a problem with it.My PO never ask that and maybe its because they know me there and my mother-in-law works there.I always wrap each bottle in plastic wrap to ensure no leaks and so far Ive had none,then in bubble wrap and I tape around the bubble wrap tightly.A lot of times first class will get there faster then priority.Just depends where its going.Like a few states away first class will get there in the same amount of time as priority and its cheaper.

I always say no. If you are sending multiple bottles, I will usually use 2 or 3 ziplock bags with 2 or 3 bottles in each bag, that way, if one of the bottles leaks, it does not mess up the labels on the rest of the bottles. I normally use a bubble mailer with some additional bubble wrap, or wadded up paper, but IMO if you are selling enough juice, priority mail is not a bad deal. The box protects the product, and the box is free

I tried to mail some e-liquid to my sister and the post office people told me I could not mail it.

DMM 601.2.4 Liquids
Mailers must mark the outer container of a mailpiece containing liquid to indicate the nature of the contents.

My post lady did ask and I told her yes. I gave her a lecture on how I ensure my "flavorings" are inside a ziplock bad and then another. I told her I belonged to a flavoring club. I have no problems and she never mentions liquids again. (Giving a lecture rambling about the flavoring club will bore your post-lady.)


I have mailed first class and priority mail. Depending on how many items I am sending. I would definitely opt for the delivery confirmation to ensure that said item arrives to address.

I get asked almost every time and just tell them no. I've mailed both FC and Priority. I'm just sure to make sure it's sealed and with lots of packing cushion around the bottles. Also make sure the bottles are tight before you pack them.

Same here as Nomoreash being FC or Priority.
Just ordered some e-liquid via First Class as a matter of fact during cyber Monday sale.

I mail bottles of juice now and then and the post office people always ask me the same question, Is there liquid, flamables, poisons, etc. I used to lie about it and say no, but decided to tell them the truth one time and guess what? It was no big deal. The lady asked what kind of liquid so I pulled out a bottle and my PV from my pocket and showed her what it was and what it's used for by vaping in the post office. Another time I just told the guy behind the counter that it was a vegetable glycerine solution, like the stuff used in lotions and things, again no problem. So my suggestion is just tell the truth and explain it, maybe you'll convert someone in the process.

I mail it in a post office












lol . No but seriously i have shipped all my juices by first class mail and so have mostly all vendors . Not a issue . I use online shipping and just pay and print the label then my mailman just takes the package for me .

I mail it at the post office, and I always tell them no. It's just easier that way I think. I mail them in a bubble wrap package, usually regular mail unless the person who is buying it is paying for priority.

Nicotine is considered 6.1 toxic by the post office. Here is a link if you want to learn how to legally mail it.
346 Toxic Substances and Infectious Substances (Hazard Class 6)

can someone erase this? there is no way to mail it legally. I was trying to find some orm-d consumer commodity loophole but you would need to dilute it to so much it would be worthless.
