Postage Advice Needed

I should be shipping some games over to the US as part of a trade in the next couple of days. Could some people here give me some advice as to the best shipping method from the UK?

Also does anyone have any tips on the best way to pack games in old style cases to minimise the risk of damaging the plastic tray?

Thanks

Best method is EMS. Pack the game and the case seperately. Wrap the game in bubble wrap very well, and put bubble wrap inside the case, and wrap the outside in bubble wrap, and put both inside a box well protected in packing peanuts.

Definatly EMS shipping, I had a NCD system shiped to me from Hong Kong, and god knows what could possibly happen to it on the way but good thing for EMS though if it did break Ide be reinbursed.

Thign is we don't have EMS here....and i hear its pretty damn expensive for insurance....i always send international recorded.

I see you're from england. You DO have EMS, it's just called something else.

It's called Royal Mail or Express Royal Mail, I'm not sure.

Either one of the two most expensive shipping methods will be safe and reliable, I've gotten bazillions of packages from the UK just fine this way :-)
