ReplyDeleteMy watch contains a lithim battery, but it is very small. Can I ship it through USPS?
ReplyDeleteWhat other mail forwarders can ship lithium batteries?
ReplyDeleteI have posted about several mail forwarders that allow to ship lithium batteries to Russia and the Ukraine. Most of them are good for Russian, the Ukraine and may be some other xUSSR countries. Can't really suggest anything but Shipito for the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteLithium batteries in watches are small, but USPS prohibits all lithium batteries to be sent to international destinations. You can ship your watch at your own risk. Or you can just remove the battery and then buy it locally.
ReplyDeleteThanks for shating this post. I shop with some of the listed online shopping store in this blog and had a great shopping experience.
