Prohibited Goods

Although we can, generally, arrange to ship almost any commodity, many items are prohibited or restricted from our usual courier services (if your goods can be carried we can and will be quite happy to arrange for a carrier, on your behalf, through our list of Specialist Agents). The list below, though not exhaustive, shows the majority and type of goods that are not able to be booked for carriage through our usual services. Please read this carefully and if, when you are done, you remain unsure, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Services Team to inquire further. It is far better to make sure that your goods are allowed to travel without special considerations than to have to suffer possible delays, confiscation or, possibly, the destruction of your shipment/s.
