[quote name='Vinny']I've found that the breaking the box down and sandwiching method works best. Basically, you break down the GBA game box and cardboard insert (that holds the actual cart) and sandwich them between two strong pieces of cardboard. Then stick the manuals, leaflets, and cart in a little Ziploc bag. Stick every in a bubble mailer and ship it. Then the recipient can just put it back together.
I've sent and received GBA games in those regular brown shipping boxes before but I found that some times, any external forces on the shipping box is transferred to whatever's inside due the filler (packing peanuts, bubble wrap, etc.) transferring the pressure to the game box.
Say a larger, heaver box falls on your box and crushes it during transit... well, chances are, the GBA game box gets a little crushed too due to the external pressure.
The problem is is that most people don't like their games sent this way. And when I request my GBA sent that way, people just get confused...
?[/quote]Yeah, I always requested people on ebay to send it like that but they always get confused and just send it in a box with tons of bubble wrap.
Although, one time it did not work and my sealed FF tactics box was squashed.
