Packaging/Mailing DS Games

[VioletArrows]

I just received a trade request for my New Super Mario Bros game, and because I'm not picky, I bought just the game; no case, no box, no nothin'. I don't want to just toss it in an envelope and go, so how am I supposed to package this?

Well, I would suggest not using a normal envelope. Might be more expensive but a padded one would be a good way to go. Otherwise you might get a neutral just because the overall package quality was not as good as it should be (I realize it's not the full package, but I saw a thread about someone just tossing it in a normal envelope).

If you have a little cardboard around or maybe part of a coke 12 pack box around you could make a little sleeve for it as well. Almost like Gamefly. Though I think as long as it is in a padded envelope you should be ok. Just print out the paper to who it is going to and wrap it in that so it is not loose.

definately stick it in some sort of an extra cd case or cd sleeve or something to have laying around, then definately a bubble mailer.

Well I didn't mean that I would just drop it in a regular envelope, but I also thought it would be odd to put it in even a small bubble mailer and it would bounce around in there.

Wrap it in some bubble wrap and then stick it in the envelope.

wrap it in bubble wrap, then tape it to the inside of the bubble mailer, then it won't bounch around as much.

Do you not have any other Ds cases you can sacrifice? If yes, just get rid of the cover

If you don't have bubble wrap, just wrapping it in a couple of paper towels will probably do great. You could tape the cart to the paper towel too in order to keep it secure so that it won't fall out.

Size 000 Scotch Bubble Mailer, wrap the game in paper towel or saran wrap and you're good to go.

Works great for GBA carts as well.
