I have several vintage lighters to get rid off. Do I just throw them into landfill?

if a lighter has no fuel and has been vented and no flint in it i can't see any reason why you can't send it

I believe as long as the vintage lighters have no fluid they should be safe to post. Kind Regards Vickie

A lighter with no flint and all fuel removed is just a empty metal box

Hoping this Petition wakes the Royal Mail up. They’ve been destroying millions of £ $ € ¥ in Zippos, Duponts etc.

No danger if empty with no flint. Not long ago you could smoke and buy lighters on a plane that were working! this rule is quite ridiculous. This rule is absolutely ridicu

I buy and sell zippos from all over the world but I hate the ‘gamble’ feel to it, I only send completely unused zippos that have never seen fuel.

A lighter stripped of its flint and internal cotton wool and thoroughly cleaned is as safe as sending anything through the Post. It is basically a piece of scrap metal

I just found out that RM has disposed 2 vintage S.T. Dupont lighters. These where send to the US. No return possible, also not possible to pick them up at the central mail centre.

Surely a new lighter is tested before being sold. So it is no different to a second hand lighter which has no gas in it?

ridiculous rule empty vintage lighters without flints are of no danger to anyone, i have lost a fortune in sales not being able to ship internationally as that is where the most collectors are
