Re: Advice on shipping watches needed

Thanks for the suggestions! I will check out Parcel Pro, and also look again at the Postal Service to see what their limits might be. Thanks! Dick

: I have just returned from dropping off the first of the Heuers that
: I will be selling. The (US) buyer and I agreed on FedEx as the
: carrier. When I got to the FedEx office, all was fine, except
: they would not accept my valuation. The agent said that for
: jewelry, watches, artwork and other "extraordinary"
: items, the value limit was $1,000. Since this is only about 1/4
: of the actual value, I'm a bit nervous.

: So I'm asking all you who have obvious sent valuable watches around
: the US and abroad, how do you handle this? Is there another
: carrier who will insure for full value? How about shipments to
: other countries?

: Thanks for any advice for a newbie!

: Dick
