Info dla dziewczyn z UK odnośnie brytyjskiej poczty

Dziewczyny, byłam dziś na poczcie wysłać paczkę i okazało się, że od 14 grudnia zeszłego roku Royal Mail wprowadziła listę substancji niebezpiecznych, których nie można wysyłać w paczkach/przesyłkach listowych. Na liście znajdują się lakiery do paznokci :(((( Nie mogę już wysyłać lakierów do Polski... Ech, szczerze mówiąc jest to dla mnie dziwne i niezrozumiałe, ale co zrobić :((((

Może nie wszystkie dziewczyny z UK wiedzą, stąd ta notka.

EDIT: niestety nie dopytałam się, czy to samo dotyczy się przesyłek krajowych. Bo ta lista była odnośnie przesyłek międzypaństwowych.

EDIT #2: Jajego83 podesłała mi linka do listy zabronionych produktów:
