Purolator has brought it to our attention that old labels, particularly Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) labels, should be removed when reusing boxes for shipping. As packages with TDG labels require special handling, there are extra charges associated with these shipments. In these cases, we will pass the additional charges on to the client.
