Title: DS cover buying help.
Post by: Arseen on October 18, 2009, 04:22:28 PM

Would someone count how much it would cost to buy 300 US DS-cases from Nintendo's US site and ship them to Finland?
I know cases would be 210 dollars but how much would the P&P be.

I compared the Euro and US DS-cases and the US ones look nicer I think.

I've got 4 of the 10 pack cases in my closet already. I'll weigh them and get you a quote on shipping for 300 cases. Can you PM me a postal code?

It's gonna cost a lot.

Nintendo will only sell you 50 cases at a time.  Trust me.  I've had to order three times from them. :(

So, someone will have to order 50 cases six times - and I don't know if Nintendo will even let you do that, but if they do, it'd be $210 for the cases and $30 more for the shipping from NoA to whomever is going to reship them for you.  Combined with the cost of reshipping them overseas (and that'd be a pretty big box)..

Not sure did the PM go thru, so: My postal code is 54850, but shipping to any point in Finland costs the same.

I did really rough questimation with US postal servise with priority mail international and price maybe doubles, which still isn't too bad.
Of course I hope that even cheaper delivery method is found.

Sorry to jump this thread, but how long does it normally take any of you guys in the US to receive DS cases in the mail? I ordered a pack of 10 last Sunday and I still haven't gotten them yet :/

I think it was 5-10 business days (aka 1-2 weeks)

I hate UPS and have had several issues with them, so whenever I order parts from Nintendo, I call my order in and request 2-day FedEx shipping.  It's only $2 more, I get the stuff faster and don't have to screw around with UPS.

Snowcone did you weigh the covers.

And would anyone be willing to help me get US DS covers, starting with the 50 cases Nintendo allows to order.
