Hi Larry,

According to China Post's "Prohibited Items List" and related regulations, the delivery policy for empty (fuel-free) lighters is as follows:

1. Domestic mail (within China)
✅ Mailing is allowed, but the following conditions must be met:

Fully drain the fuel (no residual butane, gasoline, etc.).

No ignition function (the ignition device needs to be removed or destroyed).

Packaging safety: fixed separately to avoid misjudgment caused by collision during transportation.

It is recommended to declare in advance: mark "empty lighter (fuel-free)" and consult the local post office.

⚠ Note: Some local post offices may refuse to accept and send due to safety considerations. It is recommended to confirm by phone in advance.

2. International mail (export to other countries)

Is it normal one of my packages arrives and other is still stuck in Guangzhou? (1 reply)

Hi!
My friend send me two packages, one was a bit heavier than another but overall they were the same size with similar weight.
They were separated to make shipping cheaper. Everything was ok and both got to a "Guangzhou, delivered to air transport" the same day.
I waited about a month and finally tracing info changed... but only for lighter package that now got delivered to me. Other heavier package is still stuck on "Guangzhou, delivered to air transport" and i have no idea what is going on.
Is this normal? Should i be worried? (RV450866876CN)
