How to ship video game cartridges in Canada

[montreal_duff_89]

Hey everyone;

I have a bunch of games I want to put for sale on ebay
From the original Sega, NES, SNES, N64, etc

What’s the best way to ship while still being able to offer reasonable shipping costs?

Maybe I’m bad at researching, but I can’t find legitimate / constant answers anywhere

Thanks!

How is your competition shipping these items?

Check around and see what methods are being used...

Well it’s not like sellers specifically indicate how they pack things. I’ll rephrase my question in original thread.

Lots say ship in a box; others say bubble mailers while some say they’d be upset to get it in a bubble mailer 😂

Perhaps then, you need to ask yourself this question? How would you like to receive a video game if you were making a purchase from a seller within Canada? If the item is worth selling it is worth packaging adequately & securely to arrive in the same condition as was when sent, right?

MrDutch; I’m not too sure what you’re attempting to assume…. I’m not looking to be cheap, I’ve never purchased nor sold a video game like this. I’m inquiring to find out how others do it! Yeah sure, I could use those $17.99 boxes at Canada Post and fill it with pakcong paper/bubble wrap but who’s going to buy a $20 games with $20 shipping attached to it.

I was not implying that you cheap out on packaging, you are concerned about the shipping costs...so consider looking at this from a buyer's perspective...and looking at the whole picture >>> a seller may look at this as $20 item with $20 shipping but a buyer looks at the TOTAL price of the item and what it is worth to them... you might be pleasantly surprised at what buyers will pay for something they really want....

I sell items all the time that have a higher cost for shipping than the price of the item...Shipping costs are what they are and as a seller you just have to work with what is, not what you think it should be or what you want it to be...C'est la vie!
