The post office description of fry and ours are very different, by the term "fry" they mean fish in their larval stage which are barely more than eggs with tails, by the time "fry" are ready for sale they are already juvinile fish and minature versions of the adults.

It is against the post office rules to send fish or any other live vertabrate animals through Royal Mail and also against their rules to send liquids. Not only this but since by their own rules there should not be any live animals in the parcels they will not show any level of care toward the package so is it really worth saving those few pounds by sending fish illegally rather than using a dedicated courier?

How do they expect people to send fry if they're not allowed to post them in water???

I asked a question about this few wk back, you can only post through couriers like PF, citylink etc.
