To People Who Have Bought UGC's Before...

[Paul]

Okay, I actually already started printing covers for my N64 games because I can't wait any longer.  But, I have a few questions.  I planned on buying UGC's from mediashelving.com.  Now, how are the shipping costs? (since I'm still waiting for my e-mail), did you buy 100 cases?  Also, is the company good with shipping or slow?

Also, if you could, just give me overall feedback on the company and your experience since I didn't order them yet because I just want to be safe when ordering.

Thanks everyone!

I bought them quite a while ago. 300 from mediashelving. I'm in Canada, so I had to pay the shipping plus an import fee. It wasn't that cheap, but ehh as long as you work and have the ability to save money, you'll be fine. I bought so many because I planned to case NES, SNES, N64 and Famicom games. Since modding the cases for NES is such a collosial chore, I've all but given up on my NES casing. That isn't to say I'm not interested in the nes cover project; I most certainally am. Most of the NES games worth owning I own the Famicom equaliants so with a little modding they fit the role for Famicom just as well.

how much was shipping for you?

(so I can get a ballpark value)

Shipping to were? they go by distance

I got 100 shipped to Atlanta (from California). It was $65.00 total

It was about $65 for me too. (Missouri)

ok well I'm in New Jersey..

I did the order and all and I'm awaiting the email with the shipping costs, taxes, etc..

Once I get the e-mail I'll decide if I still want to buy them or not.

thanks everyone

If you do order them and decide you don't need 100, you could always sell the extras to people here to make some of your money back. That's what I did a few years ago (on CAG), and now I realize I got rid of too many

[Ragnarok2103]

total for the cases and shipping will probably be around 65 dollars. thats what it was for me, and i live in new jersery as well.

I did think about this...

how much did you sell them for?  Because I figured I could sell to a few friends for at least $1.00 a piece, which would almost profit me.

I sold them for cost + shipping -- so about 65 cents each, plus whatever it cost to ship them out. I need to get about 10 or so myself...keep us posted if you end up with extras to sell.

will do.

Just gotta check my funds and all... but I should be getting them sometime soon.

Also,

the total was just e-mailed to me and it comes out to $65.64.

Do I have to respond and pay immediately?  Any idea how long I have with this order?
