Hi everyone..

I need to ship a Rolex ($5000 value) to Germany.
I checked with the post office and their Express Mail Service (EMS) can only insure up to $500.00

Is there any way to ship the watch with full insurance?

Thanks in advance!!

My advice is don't use post office! I lost a package last year and I am still messing around. Once it leaves the USPS it enters the German system and then there is almost nothing you can do.

My company uses DHL for all overseas service but I have used UPS as well.

I heard UPS and FEDEX do not insurance watches.. So probably I will have to use a third-party insurance company?

Let me know if there is any better option

Thanks.

THird party insurance is not a bad idea as you don't need to put the full value on the shipment and draw attention to the item.
