FAQ: Where can I buy cases?

[Beastman1975]

All the stores ive checked are sold out till june/july. any alternatives/ also does anyone know if they are actually getting them back in, or are they discontinued like the black ones

I ordered mine back on April 28th from shopperinc.com, they were backordered....and I was told they would be back in stock in June.....now I am told they will not be in until the end of July. They have 15,000 on order (150 boxes of 100).

*sadface*

I ordered my UGC's back in august of '08 and it took almost 6 months to get them, i think they are just in higher demand then the speed they manufacture them

Anyone know where to buy Famicom Disk System jewel cases?

Hi! I'm new to this covering business, so I have a question. I live in Europe, where can I get DS game cases? They don't seem to be on Nintendo of Europe's web site.

Awesome, thank you.

(But these are EU sized, right? I see that most of your covers are US size. But I guess it'd be easy to edit the spine to be wider)

They are indeed E.U cases but resizing a U.S cover to them wouldnt be too much of an issue i dont think. Dunno anywhere in E.U that sells U.S DS cases im afraid.

[sheep2001]

there's no noticable difference resizing them to EU size cases - we're only talking a few mm.  Use them for all my handheld stuff (except PSP)

Sorry for a possibly "noobish" question, but "p" stands for pence, doesn't it?

[ShaggyB]

I know compared to .42 cents its a bit much, but for those of us who need 10-20 here and there... I recently bought 26, and then another 22 from Nintendo Repair Hut at 1.25 each.

 These MAY be slightly different from the ones from the other sites.
 (Fits Snes, Cd, Sega Genesis, Sega Genesis EA Carts and N64. NO Tabs Inside for Manuals)

They also have the simple SNES Dust Sleeves ( .75ea )

 I got 26 cases, and 5 dust sleeves first purchase... shipping was 6.50
 2nd order had 22 cases, Gameboy-N64 transfer pak (6.99ea), and 4.5mm (4.99ea) bit for opening games   Shipping was 6.50 again.

I know that Mediashelving is where most of the users here get their cases, don't know about the other sites.

[Alex]

Regarding "Universal Game Cases": Does anyone know of any store/shop that ships them to Europe? The one you have listed under "International" is down :/ Also, Mediashelving doesn't have any in stock, do you know how long it usually takes for them to get new ones?

This site ships UGCs internationally...

I have yet to order with them, as I'm waiting on a quotation for postage.  They only ship in boxes of 100, so that will end up being $US42 plus postage.  Email their sales department before placing the order for your quotation, Alex.

[Brendan Jones]

Bad form though it is, I'm replying to myself.  The cheapest postage option seems to be $US90!  This ends up being about 84 pounds, which got me thinking, Alex: how many do you want, and how do you feel about splitting a box if we can't find a European supplier?  I'm in London, if that's any good.
