Mini silica packets? |

You get these for FREE? In Australia, our post office charges between $1-2 each for boxes like these. Then again, I guess we get free healthcare... --- Quote from: Dreamcast99 on November 30, 2013, 12:31:14 PM ---you can get FREE small flat rate boxes that fit boxed games very well. I have my new in box games wrapped in bubble wrap inside of these. Ideally you'll use them for shipping too so the usps can make a little something off them too. -------------------------------------------------------- SNES/GENESIS Style Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box SKU: O-SMALL-FRB: In Stock 5-3/8" x 8-5/8" x 1-5/8" Pack of 25 Boxes Minimum order: 1 Maximum order: 20 ----------------------------------------------------------- DVD Style: Priority Mail DVD Box SKU: ODVDS 7-9/16" x 5-7/16" x 5/8" Pack of 25 Priority Mail DVD Box Availability: Usually ships in 1 business day --------------------------------------------------------------------- just search for the box on www.usps.com and its within the first 5 results.

Something that I use in addition to the UGCs are silica gel packets. They absorb moisture. Great for basement or high humidity area storage ;) |

It cost more than $5 and if you shipped a CIB game using priority mail it would cost somewhere around $3. So, the box is free if you use it for the purpose of storing but not really if you are shipping. |

He's just saying that the boxes themselves are free, which they are. Also, priority shipping starts at about $5. You'd be lucky to ship a CIB game for less than that via 1st class mail :-\ |
