7 If you include prohibited items your shipment will not be loaded to an aircraft and will be returned to you.

No refund will be provided for shipments returned under these circumstances and a AED250 security processing fee will be due before your shipment can be recollected. In some cases your shipment could also be seized and action taken against you by the FAA or other authorities.

It may seem over the top that an aerosol would cause the return of your luggage, however in the past faulty aerosols, lithium batteries and flammable liquids have resulted in serious security alerts and as such the aviation authorities have imposed a zero tolerance policy on the inclusion of such items in unaccompanied luggage. While Ship Now has no control over the international aviation security protocols, we are committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all involved and require our customers to comply fully with the regulations. This information is clearly displayed during the booking process, in our pre collection security email, in the packing advice selections made prior to accessing labels and elsewhere.
