How To Ship Home Video Game Consoles (Playstation, Xbox, Wii)

[@RealDealSoulja]

That's decent packaging but some of those systems could still arrive scratched, cracked, scuffed or damaged in some way with the right mailman throwing it around. You should never let controllers, games or cables touch the game console, it's much safer to individually wrap each item in bubble wrap. I've been selling video games on ebay and amazon for over 5 years now.

[@InnominateKraken]

Thank you for the tips! I'll definitely write that in the description. And you're right it all depends on how the packages are being handled in transit. It's unpredictable, but it's always better to wrap everything as much as possible to be on the safe side.

[@RealDealSoulja]

For sure and no problem. How long have you been selling video games online?

[@Glarpinator]

Thank you so much that gave me advice

[@AshleySmith-su5mv]

Do amazon repack these after we send them in? And can we use used boxes? I’ve always wondered this.

[@caua1660]

How would you shop a Nintendo wii and controllers and games for cheaper price

[@aesthetics1726]

I already feel better about my packaging, cause I’m definitely doing it better xd

[@turk476]

not to be too critical, but I strongly suggest anyone watching this video to use WAY more protection than is suggested. Way more. Those flat rate boxes are not resistant to shocks/drops/dents, etc. The PS3 in particular is notoriously fragile during shipping. Having only one side of the console protected with a thin layer of bubble wrap while putting a ton on the sealed side is not going to cut it. You have to suspend the console in cushioning on each side in a way that the package feels like a solid brick and does not move at all with a shake test. USPS is not going to be gentle so you need to package these things like you are going to drop if from an airplane. I know not everyone can do this, but I've learned to save all of my original packaging for consoles in the event I sell it at a later time because those packages are *designed* to ship, and then you suspend that box inside another box.

[@InnominateKraken]

I totally agree!! You need a way lot more protection for each of these for sure. This video was just giving a general idea of what you can fit in what box (had a lot of comments on my priority shipping video about what boxes fit each console so hence this video). But we have a new video that will cover the actual do's and don't's of packaging video game consoles and accessories. So thank you for your comment and feedback, we'll definitely make sure to hit all those points in the upcoming video!

[@andrewfontana4761]

I was just wondering how to ship an Xbox with games! Thank you!! This helps

[@InnominateKraken]

Glad to help! Just remember to wrap each game box individually in bubble wrap and to put lots of bubble wrap and padding around the xbox. The goal is to keep it as safe and unmovable in the box as you can!

[@stevedrawdy2532]

You should really look in to using priority regional boxes, potentially saving you a ton of money vs flat rate.

[@Rhaxx1]

I really needed this video for the PS4! Thanks!

[@InnominateKraken]

:)

[@agentofxehanort]

Thanks for the tip.

[@InnominateKraken]

Glad to help!

[@briecoyne7883]

You break it down great info !

[@InnominateKraken]

Thank you! We're glad we could help :)

[@vlKenzo]

I know this video is old but do you think the one layer of bubble wrap on the sides of the ps4 is enough? Wondering if I should go ahead and just get the extra large box

[@InnominateKraken]

Right now I pretty much overdo the wrapping inside just to be safe, so yeah I'd add some more bubblewrap for sure. Gotta make sure it doesn't move around and all.

[@cmoneytheman]

no u always wanna wrap 4 times around or maybe 5

[@danielberserkerd4839]

Hey how much you will be for safe keeping the PS4 on eBay

[@royalsfan4784]

That was pretty helpful!

[@InnominateKraken]

Glad to help! Thanks for watching :D

[@2manygames763]

How much does a Wii only like the console only weigh because I bought a Wii and I sold my old one and I don't know how much it weights maybe 4 pounds because that's how much it said on the Wii when it arrived

[@InnominateKraken]

I don't know for sure, but on forums they say it weighs 7.5 lbs, but 9-10 once in a box with all the bubble wrap and whatnot.

[@dothegreatest9015]

Do you think I could fit 7 ps4 games in a large flat rate box

[@InnominateKraken]

Yep those fit in a large. Also just tried putting 7 games in a medium sized box and that works too.

[@dothegreatest9015]

@@InnominateKraken thank you

[@00sra]

Ok so I’m trying to sell my ps3 and PS4. Do I need to like just sign out of my accounts and then I’m good to sell or is there something else I need to do? Please someone help

[@InnominateKraken]

This guy has 4 tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaGVhpdpbM90aLs

[@MrMoneyBlowin]

Can you ship PS4 console with it's original box?

[@InnominateKraken]

I'd use another box to put it in. The original box isn't made strong enough for shipment.

[@_Travey]

Thanks you ! Large flat rate box it is :)

[@eminem13001]

What about the controller? How do you ship the controller

[@InnominateKraken]

Wrap it in bubble wrap and find a small box, I heard they don't fit in a small priority box - so you'll have to see if there are maybe any smaller boxes. Some people say they wrap them in bubble wrap and then put them in padded envelopes.

[@TeamHBM]

Do you think an Xbox one X could fit in a priority box?

[@InnominateKraken]

Possibly a Medium Flat Rate Box - 2...though I'm not sure you're have a lot of room for packaging stuffers.

[@HUMPHREYBALLKIDITUA]

How much will it cost to ship it internationally ?

[@InnominateKraken]

USPS has their prices online: www.usps.com/international/priority-mail-international.htm (if you end up using your own box instead of a Priority one, you'll have to pay by weight and how far it's traveling. That could end up costing more money)

[@dreamvillepaull]

Manufacturing tips

[@BlackSuperman1100]

You think it's wise to ship a wii in a padded flat rate envelope with packing inside?

[@InnominateKraken]

I don't think that's really wise…it's not enough to protect the wii. You'd definitely need to use a box with all the packaging cushions to really ensure that it gets to where it needs to go in one piece.

[@BrokutheSonofSparda]

FaustyForYou you could probably put the wii in a fitted cardboard box and then then put it in the flat rate envelope

[@charliemisch7325]

Thanks, very helpful

[@InnominateKraken]

Glad I could help! :)

[@GARB34R123]

I got in trouble for shipping with those boxes

[@aubreyfaith9085]

thanks for the info. Love the shirt #botw

[@InnominateKraken]

Glad to help :) and what an amazing game, had to rep it!

[@AveryJS3]

How much does it cost to ship out the ps3?

[@InnominateKraken]

Sorry for the late response, but I'm not entirely sure how much it'll cost. I don't know what the weight will be after it's all packaged and everything.

[@sachinkrishna2523]

Where do u get bubble wrap cheap?

[@InnominateKraken]

I think Walmart has some cheap rolls from the Duck brand and Staples have a few online.

[@bonnieholland4442]

How do I cancel a shipment and get a refund?

[@InnominateKraken]

We have a how-to on USPS refunds here that has all the info you'll need: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGa1n4SpmNuJjdU

[@cmoneytheman]

every system should always be wrapped 4 times around

[@InnominateKraken]

Thank you for the tip! :)

@@InnominateKraken the extra is always better with electronics

[@whatshisname2497]

Reg A would save you some money. Also, your paying $5-$10 more to ship. Th for making this video.

This is what you do with the Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One 1. Package it. 2. Bubble wrap it. 3. Throw it away.
