Becuase you are not allowed anymore and they will simply destroy your parcel!
Just a heads up for you guys.

Could be, not a lot you can do to hide that is there. What a pain, I often get spray adhesive and paint off eBay. I guess that is out now.No idea? Hear the rattle of the balls? lolHow did they know? Are they x raying them or something?Hasn't this been the case for a while?

True, but not usually as good for small packages. Looks like bulk buy from now on.

Domestically they ask you now about what is in the parcel, likewise no lithium batteries. Makes shipping a laptop tricky as I found already when I had to send one to get upgraded.

I bought a few cans off eBay a few months back (may/June) wrapped in black cling film and posted/delivered by royal fail without any problems.

You should see the forms etc you have to fill in to get a container into the uk and the checks just to make sure you don't bring anything (people) dodgy or contaminated back into the uk, aerosols are probably classed as dg dangerous goods that's why you can't ship them, not sure why I put the bit about containers in never mind
