Best way to ship insured quickly.

Going through a divorce and need to sell off the collection at a local jeweler and I’m ordered to do it her way.

However the watches are out of state. I also have one of the watches appraised. The other one is not appraised and there is no insurance on either. Milgauss and omega PO.

What’s the quickest way?

I like fed ex but the cap on insurance is out.
USPS might be too slow for my wife.
ParcelPro is for businesses only.
Any other recommendations? Or am I stuck with USPS as an individual?

I believe DHL will insure high value watches. Sorry to hear about the divorce.

I’d use USPS and not worry about it. What’s a few days at this point. Have her pay to overnight it if she wants to be that petty.

USPS overnight shipping (priority express) signature required with the max $5000 insurance is about $110. That'll be cheaper than FedEx or UPS. $5000 isn't the greatest but it's better than nothing and having it delivered overnight eliminates some of the risk. At the same time you might just ship overnight without insurance (about $30 with USPS). In the rare instance that something happens it sounds like your wife would be out the money, right?

Not quickly, but your best bet.
