Our prohibited items list is quite clear in declaring what is acceptable and what is not. Contact lenses, per se, are not listed as being prohibited. Should our New York or London operations receive a shipment containing contact lenses alone, then it would certainly be forwarded without any delay. However, if a parcel contains contact lenses as well as any contact lenses cleaning solution or formula, then the parcel will certainly not be forwarded as the solution is a liquid and is therefore prohibited. We hope that this information was useful to you, and that it has clarified the issue. Thank you once again for expressing your view on this matter, and we hope that we will be able to better serve you in the future. Best Regards, Murad Bdair Shop&Ship Customer Account Team Leader Greetings VirusX,

Unfortunately, Shop&Ship does not ship liquid materials, primarily because we have endured many problems with carrying such items in the past due to security issues. We are currently working closely with our offices in New York on improving this procedure by reducing limitations on shipping liquids, without compromising the security concerns involved. Hopefully, you will soon be able to ship similar items using Shop&Ship. Again, I'm sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.

I get it here in Bahrain and it DOES WONDERS on shoes. I've cleaned Adidas Superstars, FCUK kicks, nike cortez... even Hugo Boss leather trainers that were caked in mud... you name it. You spray the stuff on and the dirt comes off like new when u use a regular kitchen sponge.
