| Need help from someone in the US or Canada re: DS cases. |

I need to get some DS cases, and I'd prefer official ones. Unfortunately the Nintendo online store only ships to US and Canadian addresses. What I'm after is someone in the US or Canada who I can get these sent to, and then ship them out to me in Australia. First things first, has anyone here bought DS cases from the Nintendo store? If so, how much do they charge for postage? And does anyone have an estimate how much it would cost to send 50 DS cases from the US to Australia, either having done so yourself or just judging by the size/weight? I've found a place on eBay to get third party replacement cases, at $65 for 25 cases. So $130 for the 50 cases I need. From the Nintendo store, I can get 50 official cases for $35, so even if the combined shipping ends up being $100, I'd rather spend that extra $5 for official cases. So if anyone is willing to help me out, or has any alternate suggestions, please let me know. |

Here's the breakdown. $35.00 - 50 cases from Nintendo $2.40 - Tax $5.00 - shipping & handling $42.40 - total to my house The Nintendo site didn't give the shipping weight, just showed the $5.00 to ship it. I took an empty case to the PO, it was 2.1 ounces. 105 ounces plus around 10 ounces for the box would be 7lb 2oz. International Priority (6-10 business days) from me to you is $62.95. So the total would be about $105.35 give or take a bit. |

I probably need up to 500 cases to case all my GB, GBA and VB games (and some left for future needs), but smaller amount would help me get started. |
