I've done some search on regulations for several companies, including my national postal service. Two companies don't even mention it, the national
postal service strictly forbids it by law, and DHL is ambiguous about it. First they say they're capable of shipping every kind of dangerous goods out
there, and then they say they ship dry ice and samples of dangerous goods, and then they say it's forbidden to send anything flammable, corrosive,
oxidizing, poisonous, infectious, radioactive, magnetic, as well as gases and medical waste. Oh, and ammunition, too.
I guess table salt is out of the question, too, as it's corrosive to metals.
So yeah... Now I have no idea how the hell my supplier manages to override all this bullshit, or how pharmacies obtain ethanol, or how colleges obtain
just about anything. Maybe they lie about the contents of the package because it's cheaper to deal with the consequences of the highly unlikely events
of something going wrong?
