To those of you who have shipped out games, have you used the Goozex provided mailing materials, and if not, has it been an issue?

I just write their info on a cardboard box and throw the game in there. No need for the labels.

I was asking more about whether or not you've used it to ship, but that's good to know. :wacko:

What I really wanna know is that if I ship the requested games out in a plain yellow envelope with some bubble wrap, should that suffice? Or will I get some losers bitching about how I stiffed 'em on the shipping?

nah, screw all that shit. just mail it however you want. i highly doubt they'll complain about packaging on a free game.

If it were me, I'd put the game in an empty CD case too. If you're sending it in a bubble envelope anyway, the CD case isn't going to add any cost to the shipping.

The post office gives out free boxes, VHS sized. Use one of those with some bubble.

That's an option, but the free ones go Priority Mail, not 1st class ;)

Wait, you're not shipping out full packages?

Yeah, use a jewel case, then, inside a bubble wrap envelope or something.

The difference between first class and priority at that level is around 50 cents max from my experience :P

Could be, I dunno. I try to avoid their "look! a free box!" traps though. I once got some free packing tape from them...it had PRIORITY MAIL all over it, so it was useless to me. (especially if I wanted to ship UPS :P )

I totally would, if I had some CD cases. :wacko:

I might wrap them in some tissue paper or something. I dunno.

Cyber, why do you have games without cases? :wacko:

The dude didn't give me the cases when he gave me the games. He just handed me an envelope with the games stuffed in.
