So how many times has the post office turned you away at this point?

That's not 4th........ it's 45th. Starting to think John doesn't communicate well with the Postmaster
3 times the charm.So how many times has the post office turned you away at this point?
Or is it 3 times and your out?
I work on a military base/arsenal and they have never had issues with any shaving related products at the base post office, however I have had problems at my local post office with after shave, but cologne is okay?? Weird. I usually just use the one on the arsenal and tell them to mark it ground only due to it containing liquids. Hasn't been an issue there.
That's funny, because when my post office looked up the regs for me, they said that cologne was unmailable, but aftershave was OK. Yet, you can order cologne and aftershave all day long and have it delivered to you through the USPS with no issues..... makes no sense.

I might just have to use my work’s Fedex account to play it safe....
Or when I did an entire pass box that was nothing but aftershave..... nobody had issues sending it around.
They said alcohol has to be ground shipped.

It is. But I think the PO wants to send it ground not air.
And apparently the flat rate is airmail only.
Right.... I get that all the time. So, ship it ground. I don't see why that should be an issue.
Just a couple of links for information...do with them what you will...

I could have shipped ground but that would nullify the flat rate. Shipping would have been $30.
it's my hazmat class all over again. I'm too irritated to use their reasoning. Don't they know who we are?!

Exactly. I’m flying around with thousands of pounds of jet fuel, but I’m going to worry about some aftershave.
I don't mean you should have paid extra. Flat rate boxes should be able to go ground. I've done it before. And I've been searching their regs and cannot find anything to the contrary.
