Whenever they ask if it's liquid, perishable, etc, I just say no. I will tell them if it's fragile but that's about it. Not sure why they ask that question besides trying to make sure your not sending anything dangerous, which i never do so that's why I just say no. I'd rather avoid any delays or damage of them going through my stuff.
