Shipping Tobacco

[Lumbridge]

It's perfectly legal to ship pipe tobacco to, from, and within Texas. The clerk you talked to doesn't know jack.

Can you still mail chickens?
Saw that back in the 90’s in South Texas.
I think they were fighting cocks.

Yes sir. All over the country.

The mail recently has slowed down a little. Sometimes what took 2 days may take 3 or more. The chicks don't do good after 2 days, if the weather is bad.

Oh yeah. Having a rooster crowing and moaning to itself inside a tall cardboard box in the back of a mail truck was always fun. I would ignore my route schedule and drop the birds off first thing in the morning. Not listening to that all day.

I have a friend know a guy have heard of a guy who has shipped “antique furniture parts” in the US with no problems.

You can mail chickens?! Hell, I'm in the wrong business...

Wait until you drive it over to your brother’s house and get pulled over by the police. Better leave it in the trunk under the tire. That’s where we are going.

Back in the day you could mail children as well. I kid you not. When People Used the Postal Service to 'Mail' Their Children | HISTORY - https://www.history.com/news/mailing-children-post-office

He lives in Texas, so it'll ship in state lines.

Let me guess, do you live in Austin?

 

[Worknman]

Let me guess, do you live in Austin?

Why because Austin doesn't seem to belong in Texas?

 

[Bbailey324]

Austin is a bit different than the rest of the state.

Funny thing, my wife tells me the same thing.

It’s always been my understanding, that the exceptions anywhere in the USA is this, as mentioned on the USPS site.

• Small-quantity “gift” shipments to individuals

Unless you have an actual cite to the contrary, that doesn't apply to pipe tobacco domestic shipping.

Correct, the small gift quantity exceptions quote only applies to cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. Cigars and pipe tobacco are not restricted items.

I use a self service package label machine at my local post office.no problems from Tn to Cali

It amazes me how many people think someone is looking. They have their hands full fighting actual illegal drugs. Ive never heard of anyone fined or arrested for shipping a few tins. Within borders there are no customs forms. This means someone had to go to the trouble of checking. Im not saying break the law...its up to you. But I bet you exceed the speed limit once in a while.

USPS handles 24 million packages a day.
