Couier for Omega planet ocean to Germany??

[parksie]

Any one know of a courier firm who will deliver the watch with insurance to Germany?

Thanks.

I would have thought that pretty much any major courier could do that. Have you tried UPS?

[parksie]

It seems I've tried them all?, but they all have a exclusions section which include watches??

A few guys I've spoken with on other fora get round this by registering the package as containing horological instruments.

What the legal/insurance aspect of this is I have no idea though.

[parksie]

Thanks for the tips guys but it is still proving a problem>

I'd though about describing the package falsely but what if it gets scanned??, i'll keep trying

Royal Mail do it don't they? Insurance covers upto £2,500 IIRC but will cost around £50.

Royal mail/parcel force do a service but not for valuable watches, I've pulled out the sale now, too much of a headache!

I also read on TZ-UK that parcel force insurance only covers up to £2.5k but that doesn't mean that for a £3k watch you'd get £2.5k, apparently you'd get zero as you went over the limit. It doesn't make sense to me but apparently that's the case.
