Just to add, post office staff have to accept what the customer tells them when asking about the contents. If the customer has a prohibited item, then it is refused. A restricted item can be accepted with appropriate labelling/ packaging. If the customer tells lies about the content then it's their responsibility. If the customer says 'the wrong thing or too much' at the post office, then it doesn't enter the system -simples!

I'm a postmaster and I deal with this sort of thing daily. Sigh.....
I hear the mail plane fly over my house most nights . Must just be imaging it :eek
