Det har varit mycket snack om Royal Mail och hur dem bestämt att parfymer inte får skickas från eller till Storbritannien. Det är tyvärr inte bara Royal Mail och Storbritannien det gäller, det är nu världsomfattande:

Edit: Jag citerar från en medlem på Basenotes:
"Today the Civil Aviation Authority has imposed a worldwide ban on international shipping of perfume, (INCLUDING SEA AND LAND TRANSPORTATION). It is still possible to send items such as perfume, (now classed as a hazardous material) but only through specialised carriers. The so called, "hazardous materials" will undergo scrutinisation before receiving the relevant special labelling and being given the go ahead. The problem is that these specialised carriers are very expensive to use because of all the controls involved, making it practically unviable.
Sadly, this absurd new rule will not only spoil our fun, but also bring many fragrance companies to their knees and eventually ruin them.
I am assuming that terrorist attempts to send parcel bombs through international post are the reason for this new implementation. It is a sad day indeed and the terrorists have won yet again.
......and I ask myself...... how long before we are no longer allowed to take perfume on flights, (in check in luggage) for the same reason ?"
