Shipping to China

[Songman2]

Hello,
I wanted to ask for your support. I need to send a watch back to China for repair. I am not allowed to use the delivery services DHL, TNT, UPS and FedEx. Do you have a TiPP how I can send the watch ?
Greetings

In my opinion, not worth sending back to China due to risk of customs etc. I would personally look for a local watch smith (there is a few on here) and pay for the repair.

Where are you located ? I would strongly suggest you fix it locally or use an rwi watchsmith

already got a feedback from the manufacturer, the watch can only be repaired in china.
I already had the watch at a German watchmaker who can not repair it because this spare part is not available.

I have to ship the watch from Germany.

What kind of movement is it? Sending it back to china should really be your absolute last resort.

The balance bearing is broken, so the watch quch not work. This said the watchmaker

The balance bearing is broken, so the watch quch not work.

Not that I know much about movements at all, but given the risk involved in shipping back (& the cost), would it not be worthwhile investigating just getting a replacement movement and getting it installed.

I know that's an oversimplification, but I believe its doable for alot of watches.

No guarantee it'll make it there & the prevailing advice across the forum is do not send it back (unless you have no other options)

What exact watch is it & maybe the guys on here can point you in the right direction for a less risky option & a timelier solution?
