[Aristoc]

Hi
just doing more research and wondered what is suggested as the best shipping method for a Rolex from USA to Canada?

Normally I use USPS, but they won't give you tracking and delivery confirmations outside the U.S.

For a Rolex I recommend either UPS or FedEx - - their fastest methods, plus signature confirmations. Insure either through them or one of the numerous cheaper independent insurers. UPS and FedEx are far from cheap ($150?), but you gotta go top drawer when shipping a Rolex.

I've used ParcelPro in the past as they insure the full value of the package (and ships using FedEx). Worked well and easy and to use.

FEDEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always had great experience in shipping from the US.

Tracking is excellent as well

unfortunately , once you add in the shipping,brokerage,insurance,duties,taxes for internatinal shipping, it makes purchasing using TRF, not as attractive anymore.

When I purchased and after tons of research, it came down to buying here in Canada from an AD. I am fortunate enough to live close to the border so I can always gamble and have it sent to Buffalo or Niagara Falls and drive over to pick it up....only a 20 minute drive for me. Problem being box and papers are kinda obvious.
As for vintage with no box, papers etc....no brainer. I have it sent to the Fedex depot and wear it home.
My suggestion - if you're buying new, buy it here. Discounts in Canada are pretty good if you shop around.

Hi


I am not sure even if you are lucky enough with a 20% discount, that it would still be a good deal. You immediately have to add back 13 per cent in tax.

I am 2 hours away from the border. Not that bad , but a lot of hassle explaining what I was doing when I am on my way back.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
