torque seal is hazmat? seriously?
I ordered some torque seal from ACS. You know, the $2 little tube of colored lacquer. They told me it was hazmat and would cost $65 to ship!!!!
As far as I am aware, this stuff is like nail polish. It makes no sense to me. Of course I removed it from the order.
Anyone have this experience?

Did you see this?
"Is there a HazMat charge for this small tube via ground shipping?
No, this is only considered hazardous for air shipments. Orders shipping by ground transit will not incur the hazardous fee."
Maybe have your order shipped slowly, via ground? Or order separately if the rest of your order must come faster?

Or you could do what your 1st post implies, and use nail polish.
Real (cheap) Men Do.
That way you save *all* the shipping cost.

Even just shipping $4 worth (2 tubes) from ACS to Kansas costs almost $11 for shipping because there is no option for USPS given on the site. Ridiculous.

You know there is another option....
Vlad will ship it to you for only the cost of a meal and a beverage....
Of course, the beverage part may exceed ACS's quote

Might want to check with Avery Tools--their torque seal is slightly cheaper--shipping from Fort Worth might not be as much as from the coast.

Torque Seal Hazmat
Yep, same deal. I ordered some torque seal and other items from ACS Canada (their warehouse is in Toronto). They kindly informed me that it was hazmat and would incur $$$ shipping charges. I immediately removed it from my order and luckily found some at my local airport for a reasonable price. Silly!
