I am planning to send my 9135 band to Michael Young who is located in Hong Kong, and was wondering what most of you prefer: USPS or UPS? Is there a risk that I have to pay custom?

Thanks,

Boris

I would e-mail MY and ask him how HE wants it shipped.

I just got a band back from Mr. Young and I will say his work is outstanding and the price is reasonable as well. I tried to send via UPS from my work and had trouble getting the package there. I would suggest you go USPS and send from there. I opted for that after UPS returned my package 3 days later due to some piece of paperwork that I needed and didn't know about at the time of shipment.
Long story short, if took about 5 business days for the band to arrive at his shop in Hong Kong and he emailed me upon his receipt of it. 3 and a half weeks later he emailed me telling me it was ready. He charged me 28 bucks for return shipping but I had the bracelet in my hands 3 days later. I cannot recommend his work and service enough but go the USPS route.(also remember to write down your contact info and place it in the box just to make sure he knows it is yours and he can contact you.)

Hi, I would recommend FedEx. I have sent several bands to him with FedEx and they always reach him safely and quickly.
