Friends:

Can anyone help to bring wedding rings from SPb to LA or to any other city in US and than ship to LA?

Our custom rings were not ready before Sveta's departure for US, so we have a little problem now.

The rings are not very heavy :) obviously.

Thanks

Can't the jeweller ship them, insured of course? It's illegal to carry things for someone else unless they're a gift that you yourself have bought.

I'm unemployed right now so if you'd front the cash, I'd fly over and personally pick them up, personally drop them off, etc. Hit me via PM.

Your best bet is probably to have the jeweler send them insured via DHL.

I mean, I'm going to be flying from SPb to America in a week and a half, but I wouldn't trust someone from the internet to do that for me. Not that I would ever steal from anyone, but it's a huge responsibility.

We trust people :)

Where do you fly to in US? Maybe we have friends there to pick it up from you. Thanks for at least considering this! It is a big help!!!

I guess it will cost the same as a DHL package :)

Seriously speaking, DHL does not let to ship jewelry from Russia. They know they will disappear without a trace for sure and DHL will have to pay compensation. But we want rings, not compensation from them!

I have met a stonewall trying to ship Jewelry from the US to Russia. You can certainly try to hide it in something else but then you have just the normal chances of it making it and no recourse if it doesn't. Similarly, if you declare no value, they will ship it.

Quite frankly, no company seems to be willing to shoulder the liability. The customs situation is also more complicated since jewelry has a high value and can be liquefied without too much trouble.

I can't speak from experience about the Russia to US situation, but it very well might be similar. Your best options are probably trying to find someone making the trip soon or taking the risk with an uninsured option.

There are couriers that operate to hand-carry documents and important little stuff like that. Often they're business travelers so they'd be pretty trust worthy. Google search "international couriers" or "hand-carry couriers" or something like that and you'll probably come up with something.
