I'm afraid they get told to mind their own business, just like doctors surgery receptionists who think they have the right to ask me what the matter is when i phone up for an appointment. TBH you can tell them that it's pretty much anything and they cannot check. I believe that they ask so that they can try to sell you insurance because the next question is normally about it's value. No they ask in an attempt to ensure your not posting anything your not supposed to in relation to their rules which isn't unreasonable to be fair. if was only about insurance then they'd only ask you the value When did they start doing this as they never used to? Now that i know the reason why, well, it opens up a whole new realm for the game of "make the teller blush" The Sky bod that asked what i was downloading that used 200GB+ a month got the same treatment once, donkey porn was not the answer they were expecting What's that phrase? Ask me no questions.....

When I had to send my sig 50 back for replacement as soon as "ecig" was mentioned they refused to post it my wife had to explain it was just the mod which was a metal box with electronics in it no battery involved only then would they accept it but would not insure it. If it was international postage I might get it but postage within the UK is a bit OTT.

They started asking when the new regulations regarding dangerous substances and goods were introduced. There is a list of prohibited items, and they are supposed to ensure that nothing prohibited is being mailed. This does NOT give them the right to ask what is inside your parcel.
If I'm asked what's in a parcel I just say "Nothing from the prohibited list" and that seems to satisfy them.

This does NOT give them the right to ask what is inside your parcel. Exactly this! They do not have the right to make you tell them what is inside the parcel and i suspect that they should be asking "Does your package contain any of the following..." rather than "what is in it".

My response is always. There is nothing in the parcel that is on the prohibited list.
Why should they know what's in the parcel?
