Why do you want to know? Are you planning to camp outside your local AD in an unmarked van?
Call up your local AD. Ask for their safe combination and security system passcode while you're at it. |

Lol. Dont see why it wouldnt be UPS or Fedex.... considering apple ships hundreds of iphones per delivery with them.
That said, does it really matter how? |

I have been in an AD when they received their shipment and it was delivered by an armed guard.
I'm not sure FedEx or UPS would insure a shipment of that kind of value. |

they should just ship each piece individually and assemble the watches in-house as the dealers so that the postal people cant steal a watch

FedEx from NYC distribution port center. Coffins come in one box and the green box and accessories come in a larger box, usually not in the same day

Some ADs use Brinks but where I am located I couldn't tell on the boxes. Either way it appears secure.

I think the question is interesting. I believe a ROLEX sales person told me that all ROLEX watches come into one port and then distributed across the country. Looks like someone confirmed the Port of New York. I like the thread

Let's not create an instructional guide to would be thieves here.
When you receive a shipment at a store worth several hundred thousand dollars, I am sure it's not the standard UPS, FedEx, or USPS etc. |
