Airbags are considered hazardous materrial and...

thus not legal to ship via USPS.

I asked the counter clerk at my PO last week and he said, "Yes. Okay to ship"

I asked my counter clerk and they deferred to their station postmaster who said

he'd research it and get back to me. He called about an hour later and said "no" and thanked me for checking before sending it.

strange how there's no consistency.
