Cool Duck feathers - Pillows, Duvets, etc
I've been told by one of the shippers that we cant take anything with duck feathers in it, such as pillows, duvets etc.

Has anyone else come across this as I'm about to dump them at the dump, but would rather not.

Many Thanks

Yes, it is strongly advised not to ship anything containing feathers.
