Thanks guys for your feedbacks, my only worry is watch lost on the way there. Like DHL insurance only up to RM4k only aka 1k Euro. What if it is over that value???

FedEx only does international shipping, does Pos Laju have insurance too....???

the trick is not too declare what is inside. Poslaju has no insurance. But declaring what is inside also serves to attract thieves as well. I write " timekeeping equipment" on the forms. The receiver has to be able to receive when they first deliver. Anytime the package goes back to the storage facility will increase the likelihood of it being stolen. Of course have to hope for the best. So far nothing bad has happened. Where are you shipping to by the way?

Always ship on a Monday to avoid the watch being held in a warehouse.
Instead of listing it as "Watch"
You can use:

Professional Timing Device.
Stainless Steel Chronometer.
Timekeeping mechanism.

This is to avoid catching the attention of thieves.

hi,

i think you stated the price of the item on the shipment the possibilities of lost the item will be high
normally i ship watches the description i just write wrist watch, easy go easy reach.

one eye open one eye close, it really like jumping over the small longkang only.

i ussually use poslaju, somemore it just domestic parcel,

the best way i think is you your self travel over give it by your self haha
