Post to Denmark
I put a woofer speaker on Ebay, free postage to UK, the only bid is from a guy in Denmark, he says he's happy to pay the postage but then the customs form needs filling,
OK I can do that until it comes to the restricted goods...........anything with magnets they can be posted but within certain field limits. aagh! what the hell is the field range of a woofer speaker?

Iwas was going to extract a couple of paragraphs and post them up, but I'll leave you to see if you can extract something useful from them....looks like the chapter and verse with a couple of rule of thumb workrounds.Gibbo2286 wrote: ↑04 Feb 2021, 14:25 I put a woofer speaker on Ebay, free postage to UK, the only bid is from a guy in Denmark, he says he's happy to pay the postage but then the customs form needs filling,

You may have to find a compass though to do the little rough test.

Well somebody has to say it. It's another Brexit bonus!

There have to be some good puns here...
Everything being in a state of flux at the moment ('teething problems')
...
Could you put the thing in some sort of shielding, and declare it non-magnetic?

Nothing to do with Brexit Paul, it's in the Royal Mail prohibited goods list, even for inland.

This is what I get on the PO site. The lady at our Post Office is a stickler for the rules so I want to be sure.

Re: Post to Denmark
Well, that makes sense. If I were to send a magnetic tape to somebody I would not be happy to find it had been damaged in transit because it had been shipped close to a very powerful magnet.

Re: Post to Denmark
Just make sure you send it in a large enough box so the field strength won't be that high outside the box. If it were me then I'd pack the woofer in a normal sized box that it would have been dispatched in in the first place, then put that box inside another with at least 6" clearance around the inside.

Re: Post to Denmark
Not sure how big the woofer is, Gibbo, but I'd be tempted just to wrap and box it in something thick/substantial, and hand it over (maybe another P.O.?).
Have had a good few pairs of 5", 6" and 6½" speakers from Amazon, without any complications.

Re: Post to Denmark
I would start by using a navigation compass, and see how far away it is affected by the speaker. Than you have an idea of how big a box to use.

Re: Post to Denmark
Generally, in my experience there is little leakage from a well designed and made speaker so it really should not be a problem.
Good speakers do all they can to concentrate the flux where it's needed...

Try alternative couriers - I have used iPost Parcels in the past but I think they are now a part of DHL.

Re: Post to Denmark
Well that's done it's on its way, surprisingly the Post Office was the cheapest at £13.00, other couriers wanted a couple of quid more and require the recipient to collect from one of their offices/shops.
