Looking at ordering a watch from Silix and the site lists three shipping methods and don't know which one to use.

Registered Air is cheapest then the other two are about double that.

Which one do you suggest for quick, reliable delivery??

Thanks,

Brian

EMS. The others increase odds of Customs catching it.
Plan on 3 weeks and tracking is useless. Just buy it and forget about it so you have a nice surprise when it finally shows up.

EMS is best and usually only 1-1.5 weeks door to door

Though may depend on where u live

DHL might be faster but would be a huge customs risk

Registered air mail is cheaper and very safe in terms of customs but 2-3x slower than EMS ,
