Businesses which ship Dangerous Goods without appropriate labelling documentation
and packaging can face significant financial and legal penalties.
It is also important to remember the following when shipping with Deliver Plus:
If you are reusing packaging or cartons, please ensure that all old labelling is

If you are shipping goods that could be potentially seen as Dangerous Goods, but
