Match Safe
How can I transport about 20 nail polish bottles and about 15 souvenir match books across country?
I’m moving across country and the moving company states that they won’t transport fingernail polish or matches. Are there restrictions with sending them by mail? How can I make sure they’re safe when I transport them? I’m going to be flying by plane and I don’t think I’m able to take these things along with me. The match books are collected from all over the world and I don’t want to give them up. I don’t want to part with my nail polish collection.
The matches can be placed in matchbook collection binder pages obtained from a hobby store and then packed in bubble wrap and shipped in a freight box labeled Educational materials; and should have no problem. 15 matchbooks weigh almost nothing and will be undetectable and will not ignite through friction because they are separated by soft plastic in the binder pages.
I would roll the bottles in bubble wrap and put into zip freezer bags and ship in a box packed with bubble wrap. They are also probably undetectable. Mark them collectibles-Fragile.
I tend to take those little chances and hope for the best.
It is when people try to ship large quantities to get rich that they run into problems.
