The US Postal Service rejected our international samples because of the flammable nature of fragrances. Does anyone know a way around this?

Write used cosmetics or cosmetics sample instead of fragrance on the package Goes thru everytime to me. And hide it well, in bubble wrap or something so they can hardly see it !

I'm not really comfortable with misrepresenting the package. I do not want to take undue risk for a free sample. I will research sending these by sea-freight and I welcome any legal suggestions.

Try DHL ..

but i think this could be a bit pricy

USPS would only send the items per ground service if you tell them they are fragrances...Same thing for most couriers I think.

If you don't want to try used cosmetics or cosmetics samples, as suggested by ohhhmygod, you may try "Body lotion". I think it's accepted...and it would not be a lie.

definition of Lotion : a liquid suspension, solution, or emulsion for external application to the body.

When I trade over-seas, then I always write used cosmetic. IDK, since you're a legit business I would not suggest this, & pay special special attention over-seas members, because not only will you be fined if you're package gets seized, but then everything you ship over-seas could be red flagged & therefore constantly seized. May I suggest sending smaller samples to offset costs?

I suggest anyway to avoid many problems with international shipping to ship ONLY international with DHL

way to many problems with USPS ( custom problems ... slow .. )

or with FedEx .. ( extra fees .. does not arrive in time ... custom problems )

I´d be ready to pay the extra fee for DHL !

and i think most international members will do the same !

I would also pay every time the extra fee for DHL!

You are totally correct! USPS is a piece of shit. I sent a package to a member here who lives in Spain of course it never showed up and was never delivered to him. It just disappeared they said fuckers but won't give me a refund and pay me for the cost of shipping because they say it can still be found. Now I will have to reimburse the gentleman once I get back from the field for some mones I was trying to get rid of in the first place. Double hit to the wallet. Lessoned learned about USPS

Strange, I have ordered from Alpha Dream, True Pheromones, HAX, Love-Scent etc etc. and they all ship internationally via USPS with no problems!
