Hi Everyone
Im in the early stages of trying to sell my creations and was wondering what method you all use to send items? Royal Mail/Hermes etc/signed for/insured?
Ive not had orders for Europe or USA but thinking it would be a good idea to cast the net wide, however, I notice a few jewellers dont offer any overseas service.
Are there reasons for this?
Thanks

Royalmail special delivery will insure you upto £2500 I think The other Royal mail services don't insure jewellery as far as I'm aware. On the odd occasion I send abroad I use UPS as I like the trucks but worth comparing which is cheaper.
Thanks Josef
Speaking as a overseas member I find Royal Mail and slow frustrating. I could walk swim there and back faster I use TNT they are more expensive but in my experience fast and have excellent after sales service.
I think there’s been much long discussion in the past about Royal Mail and insurance. They do indeed ask for a parcel price for special delivery but in fact they only pay for the material worth of an article should you have to make a claim and as far as I know you have to provide invoices to prove this. Having said that I use special delivery as it’s signed for so at least there is proof of delivery
