Hi,

    On a similar theme - has anyone any experience of shipping valuable
    items between the US and the UK? I have been approached by a
    potential customer in California to do work on some valuable watches
    for him but I don't seem able to find any convenient way to to ship
    them. In the past the work I have done for US customers has always
    been hand delivered and collected by them while of business trips
    here but this isn't an option in this case. I have looked at the
    obvious carriers but none of them seem willing to insure packages for
    more than 500UKP and I need safe transport for items of probably 10
    times that value. Obviously, at the same time, this needs to be
    cost-effective which may rule out personal courier. Any suggestions
    are very welcome..... 

Best Wishes
Ian
