I am wanting to use the Goozex shipping system to send out Godfather 2 for the PS3, I've used it to send out a few other games, and it is always around $3-$4, why is this title showing up as $7.xx?  I know there is a little charge tacked on so Goozex and the Endecia make a bit, but $3? I can send this game in a padded envelope with 5 stamps, and it will get there no problem. I normally take stuff in to work (i am a mailman), but I am out due to an accident. 

I am assuming this is a weight error on someone's part? The package is going from NC to NY, and should be at least 1/2 the price, it is just a standard PS3 game and case, thanks!

Also, the shipping option states that First Class is not an option, as it weighs too much, and is making me choose Priority, or input my own weight, that's where I figure it is a weight error, please fix so this guy can get his game!

just to note i use paypal shipping (much cheaper) and typical weight of a ps3 game is around 5oz to be safe if you input 6oz you should definitely be fine

the weight is off on some games which is partially why the option to manually input is there

^Paypal shipping link.  It's real cheap, will never run you over $3 for shipping video games.  My general census,

Ps3 games-5-6 oz (depending on manual)

Ps2 games-6 oz

Psp games-4-5 oz (depending on manual)

Xbox 360 games-6 oz

Wii games-5-6 oz (depending on manual

I would round up always as it's only a couple centers difference, about 20 or so I believe, delivery confirmation is 18 cents.  I average around $2.30 max for standard full package games.

Yup, paypal is the way to go.  They're at least a dollar cheaper than goozex shipping so that should be enough right there...

Thanks for helping out the OP guys.  Hopefully the Paypal shipping solution is easily workable - I know it's something I've been putting off looking into for a while now.

I'm sure the lucky recipient of Godfather 2 who lives in NY is a very patient individual and is willing to wait a few extra days for the game as the situation requires.   I've also heard he is a gentleman, scholar and one suave cat.....

Ha! Small world, or, err, forum :)

Hope you enjoy the game, it'll be your 5th (my 5th too!), and more than likely, easiest platinum to date. Just be sure to do ALL of the execution styles before you complete the game, it is the only thing you cannot go back and do.
