vanman Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 How muchd does shipping a NES cost? Just a ballpark figure. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratwurst Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Just the core unit? Maybe 6-7 bucks. With controllers, AC adaptor, etc. etc. could get up to 10-13. Really varies based on the shipping rate, I'm going by first class within the continental states USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasoco Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Just remember. Lots of sellers will rob you blind on shipping charges. Sometimes being well over what the thing actually costs to ship. Ask them first and see if they plan on making you pay a bundle. Shipping on carts seems a bit high too much of the time. Like $4-5 a single NES cart. Highway Robbery! JillyGames is a good seller. She sells NES and Genesis all the time and combines on multiple purchases. And most games are cheap with set BIN prices. And she gives away up to two free games when you BIN certain priced items. I got Aliens 3 and Sports Talk Football. (Aliens 3 was bad label. I traded that one in to GS for $1.50. But it was free. What do you expect?) http://stores.ebay.com/id=89194692 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijin Z Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Shipping varies by weight and volume... so if you pack everything really tightly, you should get a decent rate. Next day air is the only expensive shipping method I've ever used. $10.75 just to mail a $20 bill, a $10, and a $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeletor Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 It just depends. Is it a complete system with games? or just the deck? From where to where? I just mailed a complete system with 3 games from OK to SC via parcel post for just under $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Shipping varies by weight and volume... so if you pack everything really tightly, you should get a decent rate. Next day air is the only expensive shipping method I've ever used. $10.75 just to mail a $20 bill, a $10, and a $5. Size doesn't matter, there is a limit on what can be sent without being charged extra, it is like 60 inches or something. You could pack one little light thing in a huge box that is just under the limit would cost the same as something in a smaller box well under the limit. The main two factors are weight and distance between zip codes. And of course what type of mail is used (Fisrst class, priority, next day.)
