Many household items can't go in the mail.
Restricted materials come in a wide variety of forms and can be chemical,
biological, radioactive, or a combination of factors.
Many common household and consumer products cannot be mailed through the US
Postal Service®. These materials may not be dangerous on your shelf at home,
but they may become a hazard when shaken or when exposed to temperature or
pressure changes. Additional rules and restrictions apply for items being
mailed internationally.
Examples of household products that may be mailable but have specific
restrictions
Aerosols
Lithium Batteries
Nail Polish
Perfumes containing alcohol
Pool Chemicals
Paints
Matches
Certain Glues
Examples of non-mailable items
