I do a search for someone with the same zip code and have it redirected to them and make the original the redirect for the other. I know confusing.

 You can send alkaline batteries in the mail.   I believe that somewhere it does say that you are not allowed to mail lithium batteries.  If you read the lonnnnnnng postal regulations you will see what is allowed.
