Clipper Battery Services

You can post clipper batteries in the UK though there are some rules:

– Batteries should be wrapped individually within your parcel to prevent short circuits or damage.
– Wrap each battery individually in bubble wrap and package these within a cardboard box.

Royal Mail
– You can post a used clipper battery with Royal Mail if you include a “device” which is either the clipper or the charger.
– New batteries can be posted without the clipper.
– Under 2Kg Royal Mail Signed For postage costs £4.10

UPS
– You can post a clipper battery alone with UPS.
– Alkali batteries (NiCd or NiMh): wrap each battery individually in layers of bubble wrap and send in a cardboard box. (eg Andis AGR, Lister Liberty Classic, Heiniger Cordless and Liveryman Whisper)
– Lithium Batteries: wrap each battery with bubble wrap, send in a box and attach the label “Lithium Ion Batteries — forbidden aboard passenger aircraft.” (eg Heiniger Saphir, Oster 3000, Aesculap CL)

We usually can replace the cells and return your battery in 24 Hours from when we receive it.

If you post your battery on Monday, we will email when it arrives which could be Tuesday. If your item arrives on Tuesday then it will be returned on Wednesday and so could be back with you on Thursday.

– We post items 5 days per week from Monday to Friday.

It is rare for items to be lost in the UK Post.

Very occasionally customers jiffy bags, envelopes and boxes have split open and arrive with us with some contents missing. (2 times in 2021)

– Items posted Royal Mail Signed For have tracking for when delivered and are insured for up to £50.
– So far in 2021 no items sent by us are missing though a few have arrived late.
