shipping Optima yellowtop batteries

[groggy23 10+ year member]

Just curious for those that have shipped car batteries before. More specifically Optima YellowTop D35. I want to ship it via DHL ground. I contacted DHL Hazmat, and they don't have a clue if its a wet battery or not. I contacted Optima and they said I can ship it fine, since its non-hazardous. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, DHL really is not as bad as UPS. But I have seen packages manhandled.
