For UK chippers who use ParcelForce -- have you ever seen this message? Why would old chips be considered "restricted contents"?

 

[natumes]

Some BCC CDI additions (finally at 2 full racks of $1s!).

You ever buy chips, sell them, have crushing regret, then refresh the classifieds at the right time to buy a replacement rack? Yeah me too. Not the first time either Glad to have a full row of black chips back on the craps table

Haven't seen that message from Parcelforce before, no. Looks like there might have been a problem before that with the export docs, which has some sort of knock-on effect?

I'm not in the UK but if I had to guess, I'd say it's that someone in Customs thinks the chips are live. What's the face value of the chips in the shipment?

This is the most likely explanation

So, I've had issues shipping chips to certain country's because of the gambling attachment. Labeling of contents has helped this always calling them "Obsolete Gaming Tokens". That would be my only guess.

“Toy tokens: no cash value not for resale” has always work for me

Yep, I think the issue was the shipper simply labeled them “poker chips”.

"Just like a young man coming in for a quickie...I feel so unsatisfied"

Gimme the rack, baby.

 

[Josh Kifer]

Wtf I missed out on the oreo party. Sonofa....

 

[buffalojim]

I'm debating getting 20 of them to use as bounties. He who has the most cookies wins at life

 

[FordPickup92]

Pretty much anything other thank poker chips or casino chips in the description is fine.
Same as mentioned above, I use "artificial gaming tokens"

Dreams do come true! Thanks @thyechal!

Along with with @Josh Kifer said, I also highly recommend putting the international HS Tariff code on there of 95049090. I always ship with this code and never had a problem.

Some fun little singles that decided to show up!

I usually write “poker chips” and I’ve never had an issue. Parcelforce is just the Royal Mail’s service for packages over a certain weight.

The “export documents” consist of a label where you write the sender’s details, brief description and value. It’s pretty difficult to get wrong. Then it’s up to the post office clerk to stick the correct airmail labels on to the package.

I had a look at the restricted items and the only thing that might make sense is this one:

Unless your chips are super minty in which case it could be this one

I imagine that the next step is that they’ll write to the sender for an explanation.
