Quotes so far are in the £12 range, just to post a single 5000mAh 6S Lipo back to a shop. Which services do you use?

You need to check if your chosen courier will carry a LiPo these days.
Royal Mail will not.
Shipping rules changed this year and have become quite problematic when it comes to LiPos.
We (Midland Helicopters) use UPS for all LiPo shipping now - luckily they are ultra reliable.

I was at the post office last week & the lady behind the counter told me 'you can't send a single lipo but you can send more than one as long as its with the model its intended for' so, what she is saying is that to post a single lipo is prohibited, but somehow sending several is ok as long as it's with the model it's intended for??Originally posted by KnifeEdge View PostI have heard of people just sending by royal mail anyway

I sent some today through Royal Mail, they did ask what it was, so I told them it was lipo batteries and they just looked at me funny ha ha
all they were concerned about is if it was a wet battery or not.Comment

I got asked once what was in mine i told them "nothing to do with them" and she said they only ask in case it was valuable i said no and they did not say anything else

Royal mails stance is that you can only send a lipo if it's connected to a device. For example, if you're sending out a smartphone and the battery is a lipo (as many are) then that is ok. An unconnected rc lipo is not.
Saying this I have sent lipos quite a few times with RM. most of the time they are completely disinterested in the package contents.
