MD12112 44 Posted February 8, 2019 Hello everyone just some advice needed I've tried to look ran but I can't find information, I've got interest for the watches of put for sale but possible buyers are requesting shipping to the US. I have no idea how the whole custom situation works could someone shed some light on it sending from UK to us what are the best methods and what do you declare in the customs forms.

Howitzer 1,951 Posted February 8, 2019 I've had mixed success posting from the UK to the US to be honest, including one that got lost one somewhere in the US Postal Service (specifically in Fresno, CA). I'd say I've got probably a 60-70% success rate, but I've probably just been unlucky. I've never had a problem with Customs per se, just the USPS, and it's always a bit of a lottery. The advice I have seen seems to be to put a low value on the customs form, say $20, and "broken clock for repair" or similar in the description. I think it's just one of those where the buyer has to take the responsibility because it's entirely out of your hands. I've never tried DHL or FedEx etc though, only ever Royal Mail.

BadApple 13,079 Posted February 8, 2019 I've shipped 5-6 watches M2M to USA with no issues. I just declare watch case and strap £48 every time on customs decalration. Share this post Link to post
mr.tourette 111 Posted February 8, 2019 Ive always put some cheaper brand on the declaration such as " used casio watch" and some low value generally around the 30-40 pounds mark.. no issues so far Share this post Link to post
MD12112 44 Posted February 9, 2019 Thank you everyone for your reply. @BADAPPLE do you use courier or Post?? Share this post Link to post
BadPickle 2,655 Posted February 9, 2019 Like the others I used Royal Mail signed for, put "clock parts" in the declaration and £40 value. No worries at all. Share this post Link to post

narikaa 129 Posted February 9, 2019 One little anomaly with Royal mail Use International Tracked and signed BTW & no matter what tissue of lies you put on the customs declaration, buy the enhanced insurance level so that you are completely covered for the sale value. If, as and when you are in a claim situation they will have no more idea than the man in the moon has as to what amount was on the CN22 Share this post Link to post

laspomkj 0 Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) It's easy to implement. At the moment, many companies can help you accomplish this. I sell shoes and I also was looking for a shipping agency to ship items to my customers. I tried out several shipping agencies and to be honest, most of them are bad. They rip you off and never deliver items on time. I lost a lot of customers because of that, but gladly I found a good place to ship. Once, I was browsing through the internet and I ran into this website https://sourcingbro.com/shipbob-review/ and I can tell that they are the best at what they do. Good prices and punctuality is their second name. Edited June 23, 2021 by laspomkj Share this post Link to post
