How do I ship from the US to the UK?

[SilverG]

Hey Guys,

I have a few small items (a band, a winding stem, etc) that can all fit into a small envelope. I was wondering how much postage I should put on the envelope if it's going to the UK by USPS standard airmail. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks a bunch

Hey Silver -

Go to USPS.com and at the top is a link to Calculate Postage...that's what I always use...

I flat ship everything to the UK. $13-$15 via USPS, and that includes the price of the box.

Customs in UK is not as stringent as in other countries... if it's just watch parts.. list it as such on the declaration and

declare it as 5 usd.. gift.

If it's a watch declare it as 30 usd /gift... .. (description)~watch.. I've sent items.. flat rate express and Priority..Express 4 day's .. Priority~ 2 day's more.. but you have to pay extra for a tracking number with priority flat rate

I don't use tracking on priority but I do keep the tracking number in case the parcel is lost.. USPS can track it internally with the number... so always keep that stub.

it's a catch 22 with the $$ declaration.. if you claim it for what it's worth then the buyer will be liable for extra duties.. and if you claim the watch for it's real value of say 400 usd (for insurance purposes).. it sends up red flags; as a genuine would cost much more..and the buyer may be liable for the duty on the genuine if Customs deems it so.

Your documentation is the key when dealing with parcels that cross borders.
