I also don’t like the idea of dropping it off in the mailbox for the FedEx man to come pick it up in the morning or whatever way that works. I don’t know how to get ParcelPro, it seems like a subscription thing but I’m not a watch dealer or anything. It wouldn’t make sense for me to get that. Any tips would be appreciated.

Buy some standard packing materials like bubble wrap and a box, pack the watch yourself, and then either print a label or go pay at FedEx and don’t declare what’s in the box. Ship priority overnight even though it’s more expensive because then it’s in such a hurry there is no time for funny business.

I’ve asked, and the most FedEx will reimburse for a watch is $1000. Meaning even if you paid for $15000 of insurance when you shipped it, you won’t get that back. This is why people use outside insurance. So as a private individual and not a business, when I have shipped expensive watches I just pack it myself, declare it worth $100, say a prayer and ship it. Never had a problem.
