Obviously it can displace Oxygen in a confined space; but surely you'd need a large cylinder for that, rather than the small amount I imagine was in your parcel.
Mainly because some idiots won't know what is inert and will send anything claiming it is."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Called again today and it seems they haven't yet sent it to their National Returns Centre in Belfast for assessment. Why they would choose to move "dangerous goods" about seems a bit odd. Surely minimal handling is best? Anyway, this time I found out they expect to assess these things within 14 days so I have another 4 days to go before I find out the fate of my parcel.Comment

They'll open it, chuck away the wrappings, decide it's not dangerous, declare it untraceable and then either flog it to staff, or if none of them want it, on ebay. You'll never see it again.Comment

As I paid for special delivery with insurance I wonder if I can claim for them "losing" it. I expect they'll say any claim is invalid because it had nasties in it (inert nasties at that).Comment
