USPS doesn’t allow you to ship batteries that are lithium ion type

What? Why?

Aren't all laptop batteries Lithium ion?

Becuase they can explode on impact and catch fire. Especially dangerous if travelling in the cargo of a plane. You have to ship FedEx/UPS ground.

Probably. I don’t know shit about batteries. I thought lithium was some exotic kind so I said no when they asked. Then I looked it up afterwards and it was. I’m a dumbfuck.

I don’t think it would go on a plane since it’s very short distance. Please don’t tell me I’m about to get JUST’ed from trying to sell my laptop man! Fuck!

this is because USPS is run by orges that smash your packages. same with UPS. they just want to break your items and don't give a shit. fuck these assholes they are the reason I stopped selling on ebay along with the customers being insolent crack heads. I fucking hate florida and texas and the east coast where these fucking hispanics and autistics complain about items I sold them 6 months after I sold something, and they fucking called my house, these fuckers wake me up at night, and now I have to worry about some new rules about lithium batteries. OK. Well why don't cha cuck me and fuck my shit packages up because even if I buy insurance you screw me over. Fuck your fucking companies you faggot shippers and customers. I fucking hate ebay. I fucking hate paypal fees. These niggers are all thieves. Screw selling on ebay. Jesus fucking christ. Niggers!

Did you deal with scammers? I had sold a laptop a couple years ago, and the customer claimed the battery blew and the reason they had no evidence was because they had to "extinguish and dispose" of it due to it leaking.
