How to ship things to others?

[Anthemjack]

Hello Members.

I've been trying to figure out how to Ship things to others (ex: shipping a nintendo DS to another person by mail). How do you do that? I never done one in my life, so I need instructions.

Wrap it in bubble wrap, put it in an appropriately sized box (obviously, you don't want to use a huge box to ship such a relatively small item), re-wrap again with newspaper or something else for added cushioning, and take it down to the post office, UPS store or FedEx Kinko's. If you're shipping it to somebody you don't know (an eBay sale, or a trade on the forums) get some sort of delivery confirmation service to make sure you can prove it was delivered.

Sorry... I never go shopping, unless I go with my dad (WHICH RARELY HAPPEN!), so I can't go anywhere until Thanks giving, buying food, or other holidays.

Yeah, electronics devices usually get packed in that stuff as well. If it is an expensive item (like a Nintendo DS) you could also get some kind of ensurance (overhere you can...) but the people who're going to ship it for you will know more about that.
