topic says it all. just a regular bubble mailer that fits a dvd case and not much else.
also, is there a difference between First Class and First Class Parcel? Paypal isn't giving me an option for regular first class right now...
 
Somewhere around 7-8 ounces. Game itself, with a single disc, is normally about 5 ounces. Add about an ounce per disc, if additional. Bubble mailer should be another 2-3 ounces.

There's no difference between first class parcel and first class, merely an indication of it being a box or being an envelope.
 
Depends on the game. Some have thick instruction, some thin. Surprisingly, it can make a fair amount of difference.

In general, seems like they're around 7 - 9 ounces. Feel free to dispute as it's been a while since I obsessed over packaging weights. I finally just set a firm price on all S&H to avoid these issues.

Anywho, sorry but there is some variation. Also, First Class is pretty much First Class as far as I know. I have never seen a difference, just go with regular First Class.

You'll probably be fine if you get it wrong anyway, they don't seem to care that much, but I guess better safe than sorry :p.
 
Heaviest we've ever had as power sellers is 9 oz, and that's in the padded mailers. Most won't care if you're off an ounce, but some of those postal workers are anal.

That is what is usually put in too. Don't ask why. It just feel like it. Seems like I'm not a very good guesser.

hummm....
So if they took the time to measured the weight and it is not exactly right.
Do they mail the package back to you or do they keep it?

I imagine they'd send it back to you

yeah, 6 oz for me.

i think it depends a lot on the weight of the bubble mailer.
