Hey, I’m hoping the DWC brain trust can help me here as it’s been a number of years since I’ve actually shipped any expensive watches anywhere. I used to use CGI but I think that’s long gone and my account is long dormant. What’s the best way to ship a multi thousand dollar watch now nowadays that’s safe?
Thx dudes!

On parcel pro to sign up it looks like you need federal tax ID, be a business etc. is that true?

Another option, less expensive but slightly more risky….. place watch in a ziplock bag, hide in the vag of a homeless drug addict. Put her on a bus to destination. Have seller retrieve.

IFS - Been with them a couple of years and find it very convenient. Never had a claim.

I've been using Pirate Ship and their third party insurance. They offer great rateson USPS or UPS, but I haven't had to actually make a claim through their insurance yet.
