Posting Knives/Bladed Items in the UK
on: July 26, 2023, 07:13:02 AM
Hi Folks,

I am looking to slim down my collection and read on anther forum that it is no longer as simple, when posting, to send from the Post Office. I have been told they have to be labelled as a "bladed item". This is fair enough except when I follow the link on Royal Mail's website the page is not there.

Has anybody got any experience of sending knives etc through the post recently and how did you go about getting the "bladed item" label etc?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks - I've looked, and I see how it works. I need to select "Age Verified"  :tu:
