Technically its illegal to ship battery acid in the post because of the hazard but the battery packs are well sealed so I think companies are getting happier to take the risk. Certainly a few years back it was almost impossible to get an acid pack via the post. The last battery I got off eBay also came with an acid pack.

Depends on if the courier knows what it is :-) We have to ship all sorts of nasties at work and the paperwork can be a nightmare! Makes sense if it all goes wrong but a welded up plastic container is unlikely to leak except in a really bad smash!
