Title: Anyone know anything about shipping liquid items?
Post by: Ifixyawata on March 29, 2006, 01:16:07 AM
My corner of the earth appears to be a test-market area for the new Dr. Pepper Berries & Cream.  I decided to buy up a small variety of the stuff and now I'm selling it off on eBay to those who can't wait till it's nationwide release date later this year, or those who want to own the collectible "pre-rollout" cans and bottles.

Now, how do I go about shipping such an item? (Soda bottles & cans.)  Anyone here have any clue at all?  Most are selling as single bottles, so it will only be a small package.  Should I just ship it at the automated postage center and hope it gets there ok?  I dunno if the post office or UPS for that matter allows this sort of thing.

It's not hazardous (ORMD) so any shipping is fine.

Wow, really?  The carbonated nature of a beverage doesn't deem it hazardous?  Cool.

Nope, if it get's punctured it doesn't explode, it just kinda gets wet and fizzes. 100% safe for any shipping. You do have to claim liquid though so the APS won't work.

Now one of the buyers is giving me shiznit because it costs $20 to ship a 12pk of soda over to the west coast.  What did they expect?!
