Hi, I was aware that PO didn't accept items incorporating Lithium batteries, but… I have received a laptop (Ironically, a Fujitsu Siemens laptop, incorporating a Lithium battery pack…) via post, and, I've just taken a cat toy apart, seeking to replace its battery… And found it was a Lithium Polymer battery, hardwired into the control circuit board, and intended to be disposable… It had arrived at the original cat's owner's home… By post…
But, I've since read the rules, and it would appear your tracker was permissible-
UK – not allowed in the mail
Batteries, specifically new and used lithium batteries when not sent with or connected to an electronic device (including power banks)
Your battery was (obviously, since the tracker was trackable) both sent with, and connected to, the device… Rules-https://www.postoffice.co.uk/mail/what-can-i-send#i-o
Maybe, and I feel I have pretty good English comprehension… I'm misunderstanding? Or did the person who wrote it not mean what he / she wrote…?
Someone's wrong in their interpretation of the rules…
The Postmasters issue is The Post Office, not The Royal Mail. Likewise, your kiosk lady was from The Post Office.
Very interesting.
Post Office and Royal Mail are separate entities and have been for over 10 years,
I sued to work for the PO in Australia. They had a 12 type set letters that they mailed out, being as non-descript as possible.
let me inform you on some thing batterys are not forbiden at all that is a lie. If the battery is installed in a device it is fine to be posted. Think about this ??? laptops cameras radio controlled cars the likes of dell hp lenovo would not use the royal mail. this would lose RM a tone of money so this is bull. As long as the battery is encased in a product it can be posted. So RM is not telling the truth and as for the tracking their trying to fool you into thinking its going by aircraft.
Next will be the CMS scandal
