Thread: Posting watches to Europe with loss / damage compensation cover

  1. #1

    Posting watches to Europe with loss / damage compensation cover

    I would like to post a £1000 watch to Europe but having checked the usual suspects like Royal Mail, parcel force, TNT etc it appears in their small print that watches are excluded from enhanced compensation. I also found others stipulate business only post. I don't fancy taking the risk without cover, but am happy to pay what it costs.

    Who are you guys using, any suggestions?

    Cheers

    DHL will provide sufficient cover.

    Perhaps use the royal mail as courier only. I am sure separate parcel insurance can be bought which will cover the watch and also far exceed the maximum value offered by most couriers should it be required.

    I have never used such a service. I know when I bought a Rolex submariner from a forum user not very long ago he was able to do this. Perhaps drop topcat a pm (bought my sub from him) or one of the dealers such as Haywood will be in a better position to offer advice.

    Mailboxes are 3% of value plus postage cost so can work out a fair bit on an expensive watch.
    DHL is 1% of value plus postage-max is 5K I think
