Done. Regulation without reason = bureaucracy = regulation for its own sake.  >:( >:( >:(
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for him to finish his AWI he bought at the same time as mine three years ago!

Turns out one of my best mates is high up in Post Office HQ.

Can you PM me about that, I'd be interested in maybe getting in touch with him.

Could it be bypassed by fedexing it?

We can, but most of the prices start at around £10 for courier jobs unfortunately.

Parcelforce will take water-based paint i think, but it costs more?  Although i heard rumours they were opening and destroying paints too.

I guess you'll just have to limit the water-based paints to 4 per package?   :(

ParcelForce will take them, but it's £10 for a small package of 5 pots, so not really viable.

Is it just water-based paints? Or does it affect oil based paint too?
You could have the laughable situation where 20 pots of Humbrol enamel are okay, but 20 pots of Humbrol acrylic will be blown up in Belfast  =)

Hmmmm.....
You don't think they've found a reason that enamels could be 'dangerous' being sent through the post.... and then confused them with acrylics ?
Just a thought.
Cheers - Phil.

These regulations are way stricter than IATA regulations

Albie Bach is a postie - he's using it as an excuse to steal your paints.

I say we scrag him.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.
