Selling and Shipping From USA to Australia

Hi All (especially Dalip and our friends from down under). Can you please advise the best and safest way to ship a Rolex from the USA to Australia?

USPS, Fed ex, UPS? Can it be insured for the sell price amount?
What are the primary risks for seller and buyer?
Or should I stick to my gut and just sell CONUS?

Thank you
Russ

I have received two watches sent from CONUS, sent via Fedex. No problems at the receiving end. Cheers Jules.

Always had parcels sent from the USA to Australia using Fedex, usually taking 4 working days from pick up to delivery, that's pretty swift service imo.
Price? don't know, as it's built in with the cost of the watch.
Best thing to do is to drop David SW a line or anyone of our many Trusted Sellers.

I have recieved at least 5-10 watches from USA to Sydney. Both USPS and FEDEX have been totally fine with no problems.

Do vintages attract customs/gst costs?
