Do the all new Zippo lighters include lighter fluid or not? Are they considered flammable for shipping?

They do not come with lighter fluid. Lighter fluid can be bought on Amazon.com though, and can be shipped.

No brother, they don't. It's actually illegal. The reason is the kind of fuel they take and how it's filled. It can easily evaporate or even leak if overfilled and cause a few problems here & there. However, lighters such as Bic's and the like are completely sealed and have a much lower risk when it comes to shipping. hope this helps...:-)

No when u buy a zippo it wont come with fluid in it, you will have to buy that seperatly all you get is the zippo in the box they dont come with fluid unless you buy a gift pack which contains a tin

No most new ones come without any fluid inside. A brand new lighter is not flammable per se but you may need to check country and state restrictions since flints are considered as "Hazardous Material" (Hazmat) by some shippers. Had mine shipped to NJ without any problem at all.

The ones I got did not include fluid. I doubt they would be considered flammable but that may depend on the carrier and jurisdiction.

No to both. Unless you buy a pack/bundle, they all come dry, with no lighter fluid.

Yes all the lighters I believe come without fluid. That way they are safe for shipping(I work at the Post Office). You can purchase the fluid at any gas station or hardware store.

As it is highly flammable, my guess is you can not. Recommend shipping instead.

I do know that other sites who also sell this product specifically allow shipping by first class mail to international locations which is done by air. I do not know specifically if it is flammable but I do not think so.

No it doesn't come with fluid in it. It would be illegal to transport a flammable gas inside a container that could possibly ignite & blow up during transport. Endangering a parcel carrier would be a bad thing, besides it might encourage he/she to go postal. Lol

You need to use butane Fluid not zippo fluid it's not a zippo lighter. Simple fix :)

I am not sure if it s pressurized, but I have been using it with Zippo lighters for over 20 years. You may be thinking of the cannisters of fluid used for butane lighters. Authentic Zippo lighters will always work with this product.

It didn't for me. Had to pass the Uruguayan Costumes where fuel just as a personal import is not allowed just like that. Besides there is no reason to ship it with fuel. Fuel "No Zippo", generic, evaporates from 7-10 days.

Zippos are sold new WITHOUT the fluid. You would need to purchase separately.

The are sent empty since it is a combustible fliud. You can purchase lighter refills at any grocery/Walmart etc...

I purchased these for groomsmen gifts and can confirm no lighter fluid was included when received.

Not really although they had a little. As I understand it, they are not allowed to ship lighters full of butane to individuals in the USA--probably related to bombs on planes etc.

There is no lighter with wallet zippo is the maker and they use the same metal as they do with the case for the lighters so no cards will not melt unless you put the flam to it your self

All butane tools, lighters are shipped nearly empty. The manufacturer can fill it with enough fuel to test the device, but transport some transport regulations & probably insurance companies require the devices to be shipped nearly empty.

I don`t know because they sent me a 2 oz spray can and not the 12 oz lighter fluid I ordered. I`m going to purchase the lighter fluid, which I need for my Zippo, from a local smoke shop. Good luck!

This particular unit does not contain any flammable liquid or gas but I can see a problem with proving this to a working TSA inspector. Most devices which LOOK like this do contain butane and would not be allowed. Getting into arguments with TSA people is rarely productive.

As the other person said, regular butane. You can pick it up at your regular drugstore :). Make sure to say "butane" if you ask if they have it, as "lighter fluid" usually refers to the liquid you put in Zippo lighters.

The "armor" line of Zippos has a thicker, more robust case that is less prone to denting when dropped or during pocket carry. The thickness of the case is about 1.5 times thicker than in a standard Zippo. Both of these lighters that are labeled "high polished" will be a polished brass (shiny and reflective) instead of having a brushed or matte finish.
