What items are prohibited from being sent with Royal Mail?

Asked 2 years ago
Royal Mail has specific policies regarding items that are prohibited from being sent. Generally, items that are considered dangerous, illegal, or could pose a risk to health or safety are prohibited. This includes items such as explosives, firearms, and ammunition. Additionally, substances that are flammable or toxic are also not allowed. Royal Mail prohibits the sending of items that fall under categories such as counterfeit goods, items containing refrigerants, and certain types of perishable food. Items that breach privacy laws or contain materials that violate regulations regarding offensive or abusive content are also restricted. Certain types of live animals, plants, and unsolicited seeds may not be sent through Royal Mail. Additionally, remarkably valuable items, like cash or valuable coins, are often subject to strict restrictions. For a complete and detailed list of prohibited items, it is best to check the current information available on Royal Mail's official website, as regulations can change. This will help ensure that the items being sent comply with their policies.
