Yes, though I think some couriers will transport stuff. Even so there is a
fair bit of legal stuff to handle, which would need to be gone into, and
regulations about labelling - never mind safe packing.

When I have bought Ferric Chloride crystals in the past, they arrived
sealed inside a heavy polythene bag inside a plastic tub inside a
cardboard box. This box was further packed inside another cardboard box
with lots of soft packing material around it. The outer box had lots of
stickers on the outside detailing the hazards.

Actually, the address of this place puts it about 20 miles from me so
'phoning and even collecting is easily possible. I just never got around
to it. I book-marked the link and then forgot about it. If life wasn't so
hectic at the moment I could think about it again. 

If I did collect I've get to work out how to get it to the rest of you
guys. Depending where you live I think delivery/collection/meeting "half
way" might be the best way.
