Shipping Fuel
« on: December 13, 2018, 08:27:39 AM »
A question for those in the know: Is it possible for me to ship a small bottle of fuel (quart or less) to someone in another state?

I'm communicating with a Thirty Something shirt-tail relative who has shown some interest in nitro engines. I intend to send him a Cox .049, a few accessories and the fuel. FYI, I'm hoping against hope that he'll develop enough interest in these mills so that I can pass along my small collection when my time is up. Until then, I'm having a lot of fun!

Thanks.

Dave Mo...
The packaging is the product (with apologies to Marshall McLuhan).

Yup.
I've been buying Brodak fuel in quarts for a while.
Best/easiest to call Patty and have her ship a quart of their 1/2A stuff.
Otherwise, check the USPS.com web site.

Have fun!

save the hassle and just buy a quart from Sig or Brodak and have it shipped to your shave tail

USPS WILL not mail it no matter how small a qty
Must go UPS or FedX ground with an ORMD label  even quarts...

BTW Quarts are mostly Haz Mat FEE free...Gallons cost too much to mail IMO

Screw the Google/ Homeland,  and NSA police... a decade ago I sent 4 quarts of 25% vitamin N to a foreign friend who could not get any Nitro methane fuel in his commi country.... I shipped it as Olive oil

Jest saying and for sure NOT recommending any forum member break the law and commit a FELONY and loose their right to bear arms forever......
