Anyone have experience of this. High value stuff moves around, so how is everyone else doing it? Thought I had nailed it when I found the UPS Declared Value service, only to discover that watches over $500 are prohibited.
Grrrrrrr.

Posting high value items to Europe
Hi folks. I want to send an expensive watch to France. Value is £30k. All the usual suspects (UPS, DHL, Royal Mail, .... blah blah) won't do it. They either have £10k insurance value limit or will only send uninsured because it's a watch (or any jewellery for that matter) - so despite their sole existence being to take parcels from A to B, if they stuff it up and it ends up at C and gets lost then they will only refund the postage!

Take it yourself, that's what I'd do.

Yep, thought that would be the first response. Just don't have the time, but may have to. Anyway, there still has to be a way to post it insured. There has to be!
