Best way to ship a large valued order
Hi,
I have an high valued order by a business and I normally use RM special Delivery 1PM to insure the items.
The problem I am having is that it is only allowing me to insure up to 2.5K and my order value is around 9K so I want to send in 4 separate boxes to insure each parcel.
I’ve never done this and don’t want to risk RM losing the parcel if I sent it all together. I have a few questions:
- Can I buy multiple shipping labels through Amazon for one order?
- If I buy my own shipping, can I put multiple tracking numbers on Amazon?
- What is the best way to go about this?
Thanks,
Keval

At that value you should be looking to get a deal with a courier

As far as I am aware you can only buy 1 label per order
Yes, but you will have to “split” the order, I assume that they bought more than 4, so you can go into the confirm shipment place, at the bottom beside confirm dispatch you will see add a package, click on this 3 times so you have 4 separate packages that will all have different confirm dispatch boxes so you can enter different tracking,
As with Nathan, for something so expensive, I would be looking at a specific courier for this, rather than Royal Mail using Special Delivery, if its a large item you could probably get it cheaper somewhere else, Royal Mail tend to be good for letters/large letters but after that a lot of other couriers blow them out of the water in terms of service and price.

Search on Google for “highest value insurance for couriers” There are a few out there that specialise in this kind of thing.
But to be honest, for that kind of value, I’d be very tempted to physically deliver it myself. Even if at the other end of the country.

Everyone is now wondering what it could be. Gold bars?
There used to be a listing limit of around £2000 per item on Amazon, as I remember.
Things have obviously changed since then!
I would be very nervous about sending items of that value through the normal post.

Having just taken a quick look at Parcel2Go, many of the usual names (FedEx, DPD, ParcelForce) will insure up to £10k. For a fee, obviously.

Thank you all for your help!
Amazon does take a fair bit of the order value 
I went with UPS as they insure the whole lot for £130

Was just going to say, do your own research, but I always use UPS for anything fragile-ish and high value. There’s a reason the apple store ships with UPS (or used to anyway, not bought anything on there for a while)
