    Default Shipping esbit fuel

    Does anyone know if it acceptable to ship esbit fuel in the mail as part of your food resupply? I know shipping liquid or cannister fuel is not allowed, but I thought esbit might be different because its more stable.

    You have to label the package ORM-D and SURFACE MAIL ONLY as it is not allowed on aircraft.

    I'm sending out 2-3 food drops to New England and I know at least one of them will need to be UPS or FedEx. Can I specifically tell them to ship it air or ground?
