Morning all, from Kent

[Ernslee]

Morning everyone, just joined the forum. Always loved the thought of bushcraft but general life always gets in the way for me. I am a maker, crafter, repairer of stuff from Kent. I was asked to make a bushcraft knife for someone and got another new hobby! Probably not the best time to start making knives with all the restrictions in place, sending them, so was wondering how people do it?
If you cannot send to a domestic premise now, is the legal way to send it to a shop delivery point or post office counter or only face to face?
Looking forward to learning more about the skill of bushcrafting and seeing if I can make the tools required.
Thanks all

There's a notice on royal mail website stating: UK - Allowed in the mail, with product restrictions and packaging guidelines. IMPORTANT NOTICE: on and from Monday 22 April 2024 Bladed Items will be prohibited by Royal Mail for all UK destinations...

Good to have you Ernslee, welcome to the forums; it's always good to have more maker/crafters come on board!
Have a look at the BushMoot, a great place to share skills and knoweldge.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
You might get more response in the Edged Tools sub forum.

Short version is that you send bushcraft knives via Royal Mail, buying postage on-line, Tracked and Age Verified.

The whole thing about "not sending to domestic premises" is old news and made little noticeable difference in itself. The RM brought in Age Verification and people used that, and businesses used other similar services.
