Don't tell them what's in the package? Not the honest way to do it I know..

its very safe to send them. Why did UPS deny you? I get lipos mailed to me all the time. Ordered some that come from here in the US as well as from over seas (hong kong) without any issues. As far as customs...I very highly doubt they will do a physical inspection of the batteries so I am 95% sure you wont have any issue there. Just make sure you ship them ground service through UPS or Fed Ex

I shipped Lipos all the time without problems. When they ask you what is in the box, just say RC Parts or Hobby Parts.
