Ok, so I need like 30 universal gamecases or so, but there's no site that seems to ship to the Netherlands (Europe). I found some older topics about this, but the links to the sites that apparently shipped worldwide were all broken.

So is there anybody who happens to have a bunch of unused cases they wouldn't mind selling maybe? It'd be much appreciated and of course I'd pay a little extra for the effort

Just posted to your other topic:

I suggest of using 27mm wide DVD cases, like I do.

If you are European:

SNES and N64 manuals fit perfectly inside.

Short answer: get a friend in the US, because the companies that sell UGCs are not your friend. I'd look into wide DVD cases.

Ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Universal-Game-Case-Qty-10-SNES-Nintendo-N64-Sega-/250655755584?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5c3f4d40

Seems pretty expensive, but I'm still thinking about buying a pack for my three or four Famicom and Super Famicom games.

I got a response off him today.. Took a while though.

I ordered a few from here the other day, they were out of stock when i was looking for cases last time.

I got them from here before, but the shipping is ridiculously high and i've sent many emails asking if they will do normal international shipping instead of express but never got a reply.

Me too actually! He said its 55 dollars for shipment of 30 boxes though. Thats quite a lot.. When I checked the USPS site I came out on 35 dollars for Priority Mail International, but maybe I did something wrong..

Yea, at the first site the cheapest shipping method disappears when u want to order more than 19 boxes.. And the second site I came across earlier as well. Not only are the shipping costs rediculously high, they also ask 3 dollars per box (the other site asks 1.45).

Anyway Astral, where are you from and how many do you need?

$55 shipping for 30 cases isnt too bad.

I bought 10 cases from racketboy the other day.
universal-game-case     10      $14.50
Shipping & Handling    $21.39
Grand Total    $35.89

You should just make 2 orders of 15 cases if the cheap rate dissappers after 19?

But the first time i paid just over $100 for 18 cases with shipping from video game central (rip off).

And i'm from Australia.

Yeah i was pretty desperate for them. Video game central finally replied saying they're out of cases now.
