I can't ever remember actually knowing this re scissors, although it's about 20 years since I was of an age where I wouldn't have been able to buy, and either I just never tried at the time or it's a rule change that's come in since then. I did have an experience earlier this year where I'd ordered some craft scissors from Amazon and it happened that delivery was attempted when I wasn't home, and they wouldn't push that parcel through the door and ended up delivering a couple of hours later when I was back.
