Shipping Advice (UK)

Hey guys, could you give me your best experiences for shipping a Rolex, as I am considering selling mine.

Royal Mail Special Delivery (before 1pm), I noticed that a lot of established UK watch sellers use this method, even though RMSD only guarantee items up to the value of £2.5k!?

Would be great to hear of any other carriers you recommend for shipping within the UK and even internationally.

Thanks in advance,

P

RMSD is very reliable, but if the insurance aspect is a concern, I believe you can use a third party insurer to cover the balance. I'd wager that the vast majority of UK watch dealers use RMSD as a first port of call for all but the highest value watches (i.e. 6 figures)

As above and open a parcel pro account.

You ship via RM SD at basic rate and use PP as the third party insurer.
