how do you guys deal with the fact that Fedex wants the watch-sheet outside of the parcel but I don't want the chain of low-wage delivery guys to know that there is a 5k watch inside the parcel?

So low wage workers are all dishonest thieves just waiting to take your package?

It is possible I am naive, but if I were Delivery Guy, it would take a lot more for me to blow my job and possibly face criminal charges. The courier services may not be able to prevent theft, but I bet Delivery Guy gets a lot of heat if packages go missing while in his possession.

OK, maybe I am not the best example. I might compromise myself for less than another guy....

Don't forget the thieving Customs officers that get blamed all the time.

How about you pay the expensive services that most jewellery houses use.
