I have been told royal mail won't post shocks. Has anyone got any experience of this? Or can recommend any other courier that will send them next day or 48 hours?

Cheers
Rich

Always used Parcelforce 48, never had a problem.

Parcelforce have a term about "containers that can contain pressure" or some such but I spoke to their customer services and got a guarantee that they would happily carry a shock with the air removed. If you want to use them, I'd do the same.

Just spoke to Parcelforce. The chap said if the items is discovered it will be disposed of. CRC etc can send shocks because they have a specific business contract that enables them to send such items.

This must be bollocks though because the number of shocks that get sent by normal folks to the likes of TFT, Mojo etc must be huge!

If you are remotely worried empty the air cans and then send marked as bike parts.

They won't check unless it explodes.
