can you send perfume via aus post interstate? Aus Post guidelines are confusing.

[phorum_junkie*]

Some which don't have a high fire risk can technically be sent without a DGL but ebay actually forbid the listing of any perfume unless the seller had a license.

You need a Dangerous Goods License and a contract with Australia Post to send perfume by mail.  You need to follow that AP guidelines for packaging and label the packages with Road Only stickers.

this was some information a Rep. from Australia Post put on these boards a year or so ago.. I think most of it is still relevant today... check with Aust Post directly (not with your local PO)

"~quote"I'm afraid that there seems to be some mis-information going around in regards to the postage of perfume both domestically and internationally. 

1. To set the record straight, perfume is considered a "Dangerous Good" (see http://auspo.st/gkrogS) and therefore will not be accepted for carriage through domestic or international post. If you have been advised otherwise by staff at your local Post Office, please let me know their details and I will ensure they are re-trained with the correct information.
2.  
3. If you have sent perfume in the mail you will not be covered for loss or damage regardless of the service it was sent through as it is a prohibited item as advertised in the Dangerous Goods Guide (linked above).
4.  
5. As others have mentioned it is possible to send perfume and other dangerous goods provided you have a Dangerous Goods Licence with AP, which requires you to undergo special training as well as complete specific paperwork for each parcel. If you would like to discuss the specific costs and requirements of obtaining a Dangerous Goods License, contact AP with you details and they arrange for a sales rep to give you a call.
