Now forbidden to send (empty of course) replica powder flask from UK to USA

I've twice gotten antique barrels sent to me from U.K. They were labeled as 'iron pipes'.

No wonder the British didn't win the AWI
They couldn't get powder sent over here

You have to be creative. A friend of mine is a knife builder. A European customer ordered a knife built it was rejected by the receiving country agency twice. My friend went to a garage sale and bought a cheap silverware set ,added the custom knife to the package and the customer received it with no problem.

Here in Middle Earth, NZ Post has a list of articles which we are forbidden to send by mail. One article being "stamps." Apparently OK on the outside of an envelope but prohibited on the inside.

Yes exactly. Call the flask a "Brandy Flask".

I feel for ya, my one little brush with "The Royal Mail" left the unmistakable taste of out of control bureaucracy in my mouth. Next time I send something in UK I think I'll have it labeled Nunya. (As in Nunya @#&! business)
