Safety match shipping support

Shipping safety matches for your business

Safety matches cannot always be sent through a standard parcel account. FlipShip helps retailers review the product, packaging, quantity, destination and courier setup before shipping.

We support gift and lifestyle retailers that need a clearer, approved route for eligible safety match consignments.

More than a standard label

Can safety matches be shipped by courier?

Yes, safety matches can be shipped in certain circumstances, but they are regulated goods and cannot simply be added to every standard courier account. The product, packaging, quantity, delivery route and carrier approval all need to be considered.

1

Product classification

Safety matches are treated differently from ordinary non-regulated retail products. The exact product and supporting information must be reviewed before shipping.

2

Packaging and quantities

Inner packaging, outer packaging, pack count and the amount being sent can affect which shipping provisions may be available.

3

Courier approval

Being able to generate a parcel label does not necessarily mean that the courier has approved the account to carry safety matches.

What affects the setup

Every safety match shipment needs the right review

There is no single shipping answer that applies to every retailer. The correct setup depends on what you sell, how it is packed, how many boxes are in each parcel and where the parcel is travelling.

FlipShip reviews these details before confirming whether the proposed consignment can be supported through an approved route.

We look at:

  • The type of safety matches being sold
  • The number of matchboxes in each parcel
  • The inner and outer packaging
  • The net quantity of regulated material
  • The delivery destination
  • Whether the order is B2C or B2B
  • The proposed courier and service route

Common questions

Shipping safety matches FAQs

Are safety matches classed as Dangerous Goods?
Safety matches are regulated for transport. The classification, quantity, packaging and transport method must therefore be reviewed before shipping.
Can I send safety matches with a normal parcel courier?
Not through every standard parcel account. The courier must accept the goods and the account, packaging and route must be suitable for the proposed consignment.
Can safety matches be sent directly to consumers?
B2C shipping may be possible through an approved setup. FlipShip reviews the product, parcel quantity, packaging and destination before confirming whether the route can be supported.
Can matches be shipped with candles or gift products?
Mixed parcels may be possible, but the full contents must be reviewed. Additional regulated products such as fragrance, room sprays or reed diffusers may affect the shipping setup.
Does FlipShip guarantee that every product can be shipped?
No. Support depends on the product, documents, packaging, quantity, destination and available courier route. We review the details before approval.
