A general overview of why some items may be limited or refused when shipping through LBC.
By LBC Tracking Team
Why restrictions exist
Courier companies place limits on certain items for safety, legal compliance, and transport handling reasons. Some goods are fully prohibited, while others may need special procedures or documentation.
Categories that often require caution
- Dangerous or flammable materials
- Perishable goods
- Liquids
- High-value items
- Regulated documents or products
Why you should ask before shipping
Even if an item seems harmless, packaging and route rules can still affect whether it is accepted. Domestic and international shipments may also follow different standards.
Best practice
Describe the contents honestly at the branch and ask if any special rules apply. Trying to hide the contents can lead to refusal, delay, or other complications later in transit.
Important reminder
Rules can vary by route, destination, and current policy. For items that are expensive, sensitive, or unusual, it is always better to confirm with LBC before sending.
Summary
Restricted-item questions are easiest to solve before the parcel is accepted. Clear information at the start helps avoid delays, holds, and rejected shipments later.
