Cross-country shipping do's and don'ts?
It had to happen some day. One of my watches needs repairing. Okay. That's happened plenty of times before. What's different this time is that the AD I bought it from is no longer an AD for this particular brand. The nearest AD is 450 miles away, and the manufacturer's US facility is on the other side of the continent in New Jersey. I need to send the watch there.
My questions to the group: Which carrier(s) do you prefer to use? Are there pitfalls to insuring a package for $25K? Are there best practices for securely packing a watch? (Cardboard box, lots of bubble wrap, sealed plastic bag, and ????)
Thanks!
Cheers,
Dom

I second USPS registered
If you don't have 2nd party insurance and don't want the hassle of finding one, then the only way to ship fully insured is by USPS registered mail. It takes longer for your shipment to arrive to the recipient using USPS registered mail but it's worth it. ...
Best Practices for packing a high value watc
Hi, I agree about USPS Priority Mail Registered with insurance.Note ALL above "services." As far as packaging - 1. Try to use the original thin film watch head protector that came with the watch. If you don't have that anymore, most high end brand AD's ca...
Very thorough advice, Thomas!
I'm going to save your post for when I have to ship one of my watches! Thanks, as always! Cheers, Daos
