Like significantly cheaper? I'd also like to have the option of shipping via regular ground, which you can't do with PP - 2 days is the slowest!

Having the luxury to compare between the three providers, PP JWLS and Centinel, I choose the most advantageous.
JWLS gives you FEDEX, UPS, and USPS options. Centinel, as with PP, has FEDEX and UPS.
I have experienced at times that a particular company has put a certain restriction on coverage for overseas shipping, so I use the other..

Some rates are very equitable, others can be several dollars ++ depending on location...

I have a ParcelPro account, but I'm pretty sure int'l shipping is not available for me. I'll have to inquire with them about that.

Opening your account to international shipping etc requires a call to your sales rep, I think when your account is first opened they just start with domestic.

I just spoke with them. They are actually in the same building as my watchmaker! Will probably try them out. Do they have some sort of Paypal integration?

I don't recall PP integration. I pay with CC also.

What I actually meant was if they were integrated with Paypal such that you could print a label directly off an interface connected your Paypal account - meaning you don't have to copy and paste addresses from Paypal to ship. When you ship several times a day this gets tiring

Appreciate everyone that offered to help...power of the forum. Also, there is no reason for me NOT to have an account!

Great to see all of the collective experience here with options as well.

I have some stuff pending overseas shipping and obviously the value exceeds by far the max allowed 1k USD at FedEx.
I have contacted ParcelPro to open an account as a private collector and got the following reply from them :

Dear Alexis,

we have a product which allows you to ship watches, but unfortunately at this time it´s only available for customers in Germany and the UK.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

👎

Do you guys have any other alternative to recommend? I have some concerns on shipping over 10k exceeding value without additional insurance... 😒

Do you eventually have an URL to share? A google query gives all sort of strange results for IFS 😀 (and thanks for your help 👍)

thanks @sdre 👍 I haven't found anything related to insurance on their website but dropped them a word via their contact form, let's see.

Any other ideas, chaps? 😀

I heard they are similar to parcelpro but haven't used them. Hopefully it works out for you.

I am in the process of opening an account, but for intl shipping I need a tax ID number.

@WatchVaultNYC thanks buddy, will PM you!
It takes all of 15 minutes to get a tax Id.

I think ParcelPro is cracking down a bit. You can ship international, but I think you have to set-up a tax ID now. I don’t think they allow SS any longer. Every time I’ve called, they send me the link to set it up. I ship with them domestically now all the time. Super convenient and cost is usually better than USPS with safer insurance.
