Mail for help.Help!!
Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Posting a full airbag cylinder in the UK?

Looking to sell an avalanche airbag, I know people in the UK sell cylinders, but anyone know how they are shipped, or what UK service would accept a cylinder for shipping?

Cheers,

Shipped an old airbag complete with detached gas cylinder via Royal Mail a couple of weeks ago. Didn’t have any issues.

The go to used to be UK Mail, but they seem to have disappeared/been absorbed into DHL. Your best bet is probably one of the man with a van type services, who'll probably take anything, as they are usually a point to point service with no warehouse processing.

As documented on another thread, I nearly lost an empty cylinder with Royal Mail/Parcel Force.

Never occurred to me that there would be an issue. Embarassed No one in the post office asked about the parcel.

Seems to be a few on eBay, shipping included.... Either eBay's preferred shipping or ( I guess) using Evri or similar. Packed well, should not be a problem?

@kitenski, don’t use UPS if posting to an address outside the uk. They are terrible for trans border shipping.

@hamilton, it's not about the packing, it's wether the courier will accept it, ie Royal Mail won't and if anything were to happen........
