Royal Mail - Id8000 Document

[Xeronema]

Greetings.

Has anyone ever had to produce (displayed clearly on a parcel) a ID8000 label/document? If so, did you come up against any problems? (f.ex, Post office being 'hard work', asking to see the contents etc).

If you've stumbled upon this post as a result of a Google Search and are as curious, or concerned as I am, here is a brief explanation of what the ID8000 'label' is:

An ID8000 is used when sending, via royal mail (not sure if this applies to other postal services), aerosols or goods for medicinal purposes. For example - perfume, aftershave, deep heat, etc. There are restrictions similar to them applied when traveling abroad (quantity, temperature control etc). The ID8000 also must be used [Displayed Correctly (SEE NEXT PARAGRAPH #1 & #2)] when sending alcohol, even inland - if it comes under a specific criteria. I have used the following as a guide, which is why I'm also asking here; https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/94

#1: Any post/parcels that require a ID8000 must be 'sent' through/via a Post Office® counter (in other words, don't use a post box).
#2: ID8000 must be clearly visible on the outter packaging of the parcel and must display the senders name and return address.

I'm not sure about the rest. Has anyone ever used one? If it wasn't for the fact that I need to insure the parcel, I'd probably just sent it without one (naughty I know)....

Regards,
Stuart.
