So things have been hectic for me. Let me give you an update on the cost of shipping. The USPS Flat Rate envelopes will hold 4 cases and shipping runs ~$4.50. The Flat Rate small box holds about the same number of cases IIRC. The Flat Rate Medium box looks like it will hold 16 cases. I think that costs about $12-13 in shipping. The large box is more costly but should hold 20+. That being said, I ended up having 39 cases, not 40.

Here is the list I still have:

Shenske - 10
AO007 - 15
Doom - 15 (or 30 if AO doesn't want them)

You guys let me know if those estimates are ok with you. Keep in mind this is USPS Priority Insured shipping. I could try to get quotes for First Class, but I usually mail Priority. Holler at me and apologies for the time lapse, work is BUSY right now.

I should be able to handle that, I just need to get my Paypal account.

Every time I need to use Paypal, I don't remember the password. The alternative is saving it on my PC, and that seems like a worse idea.

I didn't realize that the shipping would be greater than nintendo charges. I don't want to complain about your generosity of giving these away. I think I'll pass on the cases but if you were relying on me grabbing these then I won't leave you high and dry.

Maybe Snowcone should drop to the el cheapo shipping? (first class IIRC is the lowest besides media mail or something)

I'd be fine with paying less for worse shipping. ;)

Nintendo ships thousands of packages a month. I'm sure they get better rates than I do. I can ship this super cheap if you all want. You guys tell me what works best for you.

I prefer the cheapest shipping method possible. I don't care how long it takes to get to me & the nds cases are pretty durable.  :)

I'll do whatever's better for you Snowcone. Either using a third party to pay with my credit card or concealed cash. I could try to get a paypal account, but I didn't have good luck with it before...

And change my order to 10. a nice even 10. you can put the other 5 for doom or w/e

Well, taking more than anybody else is a dick move. Packing won't be too efficient for 10 cases. 2 rows of 5 / 5 rows of 2 / 2 rows of 4 and 1 row of 2..?

I suppose I could lower to 10 cases.
