Yes because they deal with "international orders" all the time and know what to do about the customs paperwork.

That’s good to know. As I was standing in that post office feeling frustrated with the process, I kept thinking that there has to be a better way. The reason that I inquired about Fed Ex was having received two international orders recently, one from Scotland & the other from Ireland. Both companies used Fed Ex. Makes me wonder why CW doesn’t use them as a courier for areas like mine not serviced by DHL or at least suggest them for returns?

I've used USPS before to mail packages to Canada and Australia. I've never had a problem with the shipping process. It may take a little longer, but I'm hoping to read your watch makes it back safely!

Mine has already arrived at the East Midlands Airport today after leaving from Cincinnati last night. Didn't think it would get from the mountains of NC to England that fast.

I do not know why but I have noticed non-US companies tend to favor DHL for shipping TO the US whereas US companies tend to favor UPS or FedEx for shipping internationally FROM the US.
