All external packages are apparently x-rayed on the way out, and any suspect packages are sent to Belfast for further investigation.  They are then destroyed if they breach the guidelines.  Internal packages are also x-rayed, but only in random batches I believe.

So they won't allow a can of spray paint on a boat or a plane, but if they think maybe the package could explode, sure, send that on to Belfast?

This is the guidance page

http://www.postoffice.co.uk/prohibited-goods-UK

It mentions corrosive/flammable paints etc - that's an obvious thing.  It doesn't mention Acrylics.  Nice if they got their story straight!
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Yep!  And in some cases, they will send the goods back to the sender, despite it breaching their own policy...  ???

Leon had to split my order in several parcels which surely buggered the postage fees....
I'm about to embark on the fool's mission of setting up Battle of the Auroch Hills with 10mm figures as well as building a scale model of the battleground. Maybe next year.

Thanks for all the links, the UK Vallejo distributor has also posted the petition on their Facebook, and passed it onto the scale aviation modelling and the britmodeller websites.
