Yes - PACK & SEND specialises in handling products that contain Lithium Batteries - providing professional packaging materials as well as sending anywhere including domestic and international via road, sea and air freight. Call or drop in to your local PACK & SEND service centre.

Since recent changes in law, Lithium Ion and Lithium Metal Batteries have been classified as dangerous goods and can only be freighted to destinations following compliance with strict guidelines imposed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and, hence, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) in Australia.

Consequently, most postal and courier companies will not accept packages containing lithium batteries from consumers (particularly via air). However, with over 100 service centres throughout Australia and an international network growing across the world, PACK & SEND has the packaging and freight expertise to meet all the required regulations, offering consumers the utmost in convenience and peace of mind.
