It might be more expensive via DHL but it is a much better insured reliable service and in most cases it is next day delivery (excluding very far away countries).  All non payers are strictly reported to Ebay  Important info please read Old-vintage-retro watches are more fragile than new watches. They can be easily over wound and damaged. 8-9 turns of the winding crown (from when they stop) is all that is necessary. Sometimes a gentle shake (right to left from 9 to 3 o'clock face up) is helpful to get them going Unless a recent service is mentioned in the listing it is always recommended to service a vintage watch Vintage means old so some small defects are acceptable due to the age of the watch No waterproof tests are completed therefore it is strongly advised to keep them away from water  No timing tests are completed unless mentioned in the listing  No papers or original box are included in the listing unless stated.  We cannot offer guarantees with any of the watches as they're 2nd hand and we do not know the history unless mentioned in the listing Please do not expect the accuracy of a new modern watch       Please note:  All watches are videoed running/ticking before sending Thank you kindly
