OK, that sounds like a good idea. The problem is that to leave my house I have to have something like pants? to cover my body. Can I get those in the mail room?

wow...I figured this thread would have been closed by now.

Re: DVD shipping question
 

Please more threads.

Re: DVD shipping question
 

I received positive feedback from my ebay transaction.

Re: DVD shipping question
 

glad your theft worked out in the long run.

Was this a Dalvin thread?

Re: DVD shipping question
 

I plan to sell my wrestling VHSes next. I probably have 70+ of them, I more or less have every single Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, King of the Ring, Summerslam, and Survivor Series from 1985 - 2005. Again, I don't have the cases, and no it is not because I stoled them. When I bought my wrestling tapes and movie/TV show/wrestling DVDs, I never thought I would sell them, and I threw out the cases because I never used them and they took up too much space.

I wonder how much I can get for my wrestling VHSes. This forum would probably think $20 but I bet ebay thinks $200.

Re: DVD shipping question
 

Are you going to ask us in advance about shipping those VHS tapes? I am sure that we can give you some great advice!

Re: DVD shipping question
 

Yes, how should they be shipped?

Re: DVD shipping question
 

I suggest opening up each VHS and removing the actual tape - it's those pesky VHS cases that will substantially add to the cost of shipping.

Re: DVD shipping question
 

What did you end up doing with that extra 7 inches or so of space?

Re: DVD shipping question
 

I don't use my cases much either. Wait, I do use them to store and protect my movies. And occasionally I build a fort out of them.

I guess I'll keep my cases (until I sell them on ebay).

How would one go about shipping VHS cases?

Re: DVD shipping question
 

LOL. And make sure to film the mailroom's reaction. And post it on YouTube.

Re: DVD shipping question
 

You think it is that much? I guess it could be about that. Regardless, if you ahve 200 vhs tapes, you would have to have some serious deficiencies to be worried about the thickness of the carboard sleeves. And back then, they actually served a purpose, and werent worthless like the slip sleeves we get now.

Re: DVD shipping question
 

That would be like 1mm on each side? 1mm x 2 sides x 70 VHS Tapes = 140mm or 14cm = 5.5ish inches.

Re: DVD shipping question
 

I'm surprised nobody recommended placing them in an empty blank cd spindle case and putting that in a box? Assuming this was a real question.

Re: DVD shipping question
 

Aye, there's the rub.

Re: DVD shipping question
 

When it comes time to mail the VHS tapes, to get the maximum "protection to thickness avoidance ratio" correct, I recommend toilet paper. Single ply. Non quilted. sandpaper rough.

I really hope that the OP finds his way over to other.

If I had a dollar...

nevermind

Re: DVD shipping question
 

He's 23. He ought to know how to ship things by now.

But then, he did recently trade his wii for a ps3...

Re: DVD shipping question
 

I completely forgot about this thread. This was pretty funny.

Re: DVD shipping question
 

Holy hell, this thread was great!

Re: DVD shipping question
 

What a strange, but welcome bump. Should I just put them in a bag and say you handle it? :lol: He hasn't posted here in a long time, so my guess is that he took those dvds to the post office and they stuffed him in the bag. Never to be seen again.

Re: DVD shipping question
 

sounds like a bunch of stolen dvd's you sold! nice going!


Edit: Didn't notice the thread start date at first.. Very smart guy he was...

I know there are a lot of Facebook haters on this forum, but threads like this make me believe we could really use a "Like" button.
