Helpless Steve B:
I want to send a friend a DeWalt 18v. drill. USPS says no batteries, how
about UPS? Anyone know? Their site is full of stuff banned. This is
the
regular drycell nimh battery, attached to the drill.

On their page

http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/index.jsx

it's hard not to find the link to "Safely Packing Lithium Batteries Is
Critical"

http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/about/news/service_updates/20091007_batteries.html

Lithium is not NiMH, but it is a battery type, and I'm not you, so I read
it. It says

"If you ship packages containing batteries, whether by ground or air, it
is your responsibility to make sure they are packaged correctly and ensure
they comply with all applicable regulations."

Hmmm... UPS says if you ship packages with batteries, it is your
responsibility to package them correctly. From that, I would guess that
shipping batteries is not prohibited by UPS.

That is what I read, and you can see my confusion

Yes, you can.

No, you can't.
