Hello
I am struggling to get any courier from UK which would ship / insure a watch from UK to Japan. I am a private individual.
The watch is not that pricey but above the £2.5K ... it is around £4,500.
Is there any shipping company / Insurance that would do the shipment and cover it in case of loss / theft / damage in UK to Japan?
I found one - Ferrari - Which quoted £275.
I tried Fedex and their max on Jewellery is $1000 same with TNT.
Tried a couple of insurances and they said they only do commercial
I was looking at Parcel Pro but seems to be USA and not sure if they serve individuals?
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards
Massi

I shipped a watch (value £2000) to Japan in 2016. I used Mail Boxes Etc, who insured the watch for me and used UPS as the courier. The cost was approx £85. Give them a call for a quote.

Hi Massi, I'm surprised it's that much. I dug out my MBE invoice to check the amount.Firstly, it was in 2015 (not 2016). Freight via UPS was £39.57. Insurance at 2.5% of the declared value of £2000 came to £50.00. So, £89.57 in total.
Based on the same 2.5% insurance rate and, say, £50 for freight I would have expected a quote in the region of £150. So, either a mistake was made or the prices have indeed soared.
Did you get the quote online or did you call your nearest MBE agent. Might be worhwhile to speaking to a couple of the nearest agents to check on the price you received.
If it’s not urgent, I’m going in May.....

Hello,
I found a watch insurance specialist. Secursus. It is based in France but covers worldwide. Anyone tried it?
Kind regards
