Ring the currier in advance
Apr 02, 2021,23:36 PM
Get in touch as soon as the piece starts it’s journey and ask them what documents they think will be required. Sometimes they ask for things from you (for example proof you already own it, if it’s coming back from service) or from the seller etc.
In my experience, even mainstream, curriers are happy receive such a call -once you’ve waited patiently on the line for a bit - because a delayed/returned to sender shipment costs them time me money too.
Good luck

Why does shipping watches internationally SUCK so badly

I've been having awful luck lately. Two watches stuck/returned to the dealers I got them from. Any tips for handling this nonsense and shipping in general? For some reason my watch shipments never go smoothly. If its with Ferrari, I get an exorbitant cust...

Shipped from Netherlands to indonesia...it has been 2 months and still not arrived yet. Can you believe it? 2 months just for a small piece of battery. On the other hand, last month I received my order from Amazon (a book). They used DHL, and it came only...

THis was the one time I've had an issue. FedEx on the other hand is utter crap.
Hahaha!

My last shipping
By: Weems@8 : April 3rd, 2021-02:38
I quit shipping. If i want a watch? I call or mail the seller, make an appointment, take my car, and drive to the boutique. Take an espresso, and inform our community of my new watch.
I would if I could!

Trouble is, can't quite do that with a dealer in Japan or the Canary Islands!
