How will my gear be shipped?
Any way you like. Our rule is "whatever you pay for, we do." If you want the cheapest possible shipping for a heavy system, we can use Surface Mail. If you want to blow the budget on EMS, we can do that. If you want to arrange for a shipment using your company's FedEx account we can do that too.

OK, but how much will it cost?
Of course you're not suggesting a shipping price can be known for your as-yet unfinished order. Shipping cost is determined by weight and destination. If you order a system and you live in BumFuck Egypt the costs will be higher than a CD sent to NowheresVille USA. Ask and ye shall be enlightened..

So how will I know how much to pay?
There are two ways:
You can ask us, or
you can check the chart below


If I use the convenient paypal shopping cart, will I have to make a second payment for shipping?
Unfortunately yes. The paypal cart system, while fancy and super-duper, isn't smart enough to know what we want all the time. Luckily there's no per-use fee for paypal, so you don't pay extra when your total bill is paid in 2, 3 or 12 installments. After your order is placed and paid for we'll get back to you with a shipping price so fast it'll make you wonder if we dragged ourselves across town by our lips. Trust us, we want your money as much as you want our games. Possibly more. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get it to us, but sometimes it does require two steps.

As much as we'd like to believe you'll be ordering more than 10 softs at a time, let's not fool ourselves at this time. For larger orders please ask us for precise amounts.


How will my stuff be shipped?
We package our software as if it were our own. In over four years of mail-order selling we've had only one complaint from a very angry man whose package was footballed by Federal Express. Aside from his unfortunate experience our record is nearly spotless.
1-4 CDs will be wrapped in bubble wrap and shoved in a stiff paper envelope.
5+ CDs will be shipped in a box with adequate packaging.
Software in cardboard boxes (SuperFamicom, Neo Pocket) will always be shipped in a protective box.
Systems are always shipped in protective boxes.

As always, if you have any other questions, demands, concerns or pleas, let us know.
