for all mine ive sent they have been between 100 and 1000 points and ive done it the same way everytime, and it just benefits you also if you can track the package
I print out the shipping label from Goozex and drop it off at a Post Office on the way to whatever I'm doing that day. (There are many post offices around my area) That goes for a 100 points game or a 1000 point game.
I ship all mine USPS First Class 10 ounces (to be safe) It's like 2.98 cents. I put it in our steel USPS box downstairs. I OCD triple check the address.

For me, whether it is a 100 point 'disk only' GBA game or a 900 point Full Package I use a bubble mailer and delivery confirmation and 1st class shipment.

i always go paypal shipping and send it out with my office's mail
I send mine out the same way regardless; Paypal FCM with DC, and I don't trust our office's mail, so I walk outside and put it in the blue mailbox.
And I too OCD triple check the address...lol.
The point value of the game doesn't change the manner in which you should process it; promptly and adequately.

Kenny and I-Weapon-X, you mention Paypal - do you mean through Goozex on the "Shipping Options" page of an active trade? Or is there some way to just log into Paypal independently and buy the USPS postage label that I've only ever been able to buy through an eBay or Goozex transaction? 'Cause I'd love to be able to just log into Paypal and do it. USPS.com has limited options, where the Paypal via eBay method lets you do First-Class or Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation (USPS does not).
thegreatone18:I hope I haven't been doing this wrong. I shipped out my first game from Toronto to Quebec by just putting stamps on a bubble mailer and dropping it off in a post office box. And that person got it really quick, it only took 3 days. But i did the same for magiic going from Toronto to Vancouver but I still haven't seen that he got it, and it's been 8 days now. So I hope this doesn't mess up. :(
As Canadians we dont get a cheap option that utilizes delivery confirmation. So putting the $1.96 worth of stamps on a bubble mailer and dropping it off at a drop box or post office is all we really can do. I always drop mine off in a drop box as I sometimes ship out LE copies of games that are oversized and should cost $10 to ship however the shipping center always overlooks this and just mails it anyways but if I dropped it off at a post office they would refuse to take it.

Handy dandy link (recommend bookmarking it) https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now&info
Once you login to PayPal via that link, it'll autoforward you to shipping label creation.
It's technically using the Paypal/Ebay shipping label option, but it works like a charm, and an average US to US transaction clocks in at $2.20ish. My last shipment was $2.09. Saves yourself about $1 per trade.
You can even use Goozex as the return address if you add them to your address list.
Kenny -
You sir, are a gentleman, a scholar, and an all-around exceptional human being. That link solves the remainder of my secondhand-shipping dilemmas (dilemmae?). You da man.
