    Post Sending Personal Effects to HK

    My wife is trying to send me some personal effects (clothes, electronics etc) from the UK to me here in HK but has been told that it is not allowed? Does anyone know if there is a door to door parcel company UK to HK like there is to the Philippines?

    I sent 3 parcels, sea mail from UK to hk in summer. One box took 3 weeks, other 2 took 11&13 weeks. Each box cost £13 and had £250 insurance on each box.

    Not allowed? Who told you that?

    I assume electronics with batteries are not allowed.
    But clothes etc should be fine

    Sorry early morning syndrome

    Let me clarify, battery are not allowed on air consignments, but sea are fine

    Liquids of most types (generally, insurance will allow perfume, but others no) are usually not covered by policy, any liquid damages from leaking /seeping ain't allowed either. Double check your policy, so best to detach your ink cartridges and wrap separately, etc

    Thanks Guys, my wife has tried a few shipping companies and UPS and they all say that shipping of personal effects to HK is not allowed which seems nonsense. Has anybody any names of a UK shipping business that I can try?

    I just googled and I can find nothing about not shipping personal effects to HK. In fact it came up with several companies advertising shipping personal effects from UK to HK, for example PSS international.
