Hey guys,

I’m sure this will be a simple one but what’s the recommend postage options for the UK.

Abroad I’d only ever use DHL, is Royal Mail OK ? Or should I be sticking to Fed Ex or DHL ?

For context the watch sale is around £2100, a vintage Rolex. I have a number of coffin boxes to ensure it’s sent safely but obviously want to make sure it’s sent safely

Thanks in advance

I've received fair more expensive watches than that from the UK and shipped them to the UK via Royal Mail, it seems as trustworthy as Australia post and most other high GDP nation domestic postal services.

Royal Mail, no question. Insured to £2500 for a small amount more.

Thanks dsio, domestic postage in Singapore was a no no but I don’t think Royal Mail has the same issue.

Within the UK I always use RM, without fail.

Shipping from the UK abroad I tend to use DHL of value is over around £1000

Within the UK Royal Mail Special Delivery is rock solid in my experience, very reliable. The other lesser RM services aren't quite as reliable as they used to be.
