If you do not have a business account, or you are not a contract customer, the definition of valuables is different to below. Please see our personal help article on sending valuables.
Money should be packaged securely and shouldn't be visible from the outside. Don't indicate anywhere on the packaging that money is enclosed.
Coins should never be sent in envelopes - our automated sorting machinery may damage envelopes containing coins, which can lead to delay in delivery and increase the likelihood of the contents being lost.
