Another oddity

I went to post the family Christmas presents off on Monday and discovered that perfume is counted as a flammable substance (which, granted it is). I didn't have any in my parcels but it did come up on the list of 'Do your parcels contain any of the following...?' along with the caution that it was a criminal offense to put them in the mail whether it is going surface or air mail. Fair call .... so I thought until I opened my email this morning with an offer from a particular online store I use occasionally. The offer .... 'Send the sexiest perfume this Christmas'. hmm ... if I were to purchase this product how would it get to me? Funny I should ask this question ... well ... by mail actually ... and air mail at that. The only conclusion I can come up with is that perfume is only flammable when a person mails it not when a company does.
