VAPING NEWS: DHL EXPANDING VAPE MAIL BAN

“Following the government banning the carriage of vape products by the US Postal Service (USPS), a number of courier companies announced they would be joining the ban on shipping devices and e-liquids too. A number of British vapers announced they were experiencing problems shipping products in and out of the UK with a well-known company. A number of vapers have been complaining over the last weekend of packages being opened, returned, or refused to be accepted for shipping by DHL. DHL says: “Please note that the prohibited items listed below apply to parcels being sent from and within the United Kingdom. For international carriage there may be additional prohibited items specified by the country of destination.” We sought clarification from DHL and asked them if vape products are now banned for shipments within the UK and what the justification was for this. DHL refused to provide an official statement, but someone who wished to remain non-attributable confirmed that the ban applies to all UK consumers trying to send vape related products on an ad-hoc basis. At this moment in time, it appears business account holders will remain unaffected.”
