The post office do but you have to declare it and there can be no connecting leads etc .

Was under the impression they didn't ship them. I'll ask the local PO.

I think you can only ship via RM if you have some kit the lipos connect to BUT not currently connected. I shipped some lipos and sent with a knackered speedo to work within the rules. You do need a special label to say they are lipos.

If you break the rules and the lipos are detected in transit, they are destroyed without compensation.

That was my experience/research. I'm always asked if any batteries at the 2-3 Post offices I use.

I couldn't find a decent price for a courier but YMMV.
