Thread: HELP! How to ship expensive watch internationally (with insurance)?

I just sold a watch on eBay for about $35k. I'm located in the US and need to ship it to the buyer in Hong Kong. Both myself and the buyer want to make sure the watch is shipped with insurance on the full amount. I checked with FedEx and they said they will only insure it for up to $1k.

I'm sure some of you can help me out with some ideas or references for shipping. Do you know of any 3rd party companies that will insure it so that it can be shipped via FedEx/USPS/UPS? Or do you know of any other international shippers who could deliver it? I've heard of celebrities having things shipped on airlines all the time, so do you know of any services that might be able to deliver it through shipping with a commercial airline?

Any help will be much appreciated. We're trying to figure this out ASAP since he's already paid and need to get this watch shipped safely. Thanks in advance anyone!

Check into Parcel Pro. Not sure how to get an account or if they will cover it.

also check with Jewel Systems..I have had good service from them...

Parcel Pro is by far the best and most economical way. Otherwise you can check with Brinks or Dunbar if they will facilitate internationally
