UPS Store

[pontifex]

Do they have a "we pack your item for you" service?

I sold my Wii with a bunch of accessories. Trying to figure out the best was to ship it.
I guess I may have to go to a UPS store to do it because of how big of a package it is.

If they do offer this service, how much does it cost?

The package is going to Alaska, which I'm sure will add to the price .

I guess I could ship 2 boxes instead of one if that would be cheaper.

DO NOT USE UPS, let alone let them pack it. It will cost mroe then you made from the auction sell.


Just get some boxs and use Fed-Ex ground. Or use priority mail and they have free boxs.

The UPS store will pack your items and ship them for you. I don't think the fee is outrageous. Kinkos may offer a similar service. Check out the respective sites and call one in your neighborhood.

UPS definately does it, it's not unreasonable (I've shipped a bass guitar through them). their rates are unbeatable for ground service.

FedEx-Kinkos is your answer, not UPS

I used my local UPS Store to ship a lot of things. They do an awesome packing job. I shipped my old xbox and watched them wrap each individual piece before putting foam around the entire thing.

My UPS Store FTW! :thumbsup:

well, i got a bunch of packing peanuts and some more bubble wrap. i think i'll just pack it myself and ship USPS. cheaper that way.

All shipping compaines suck. Unless you pay out the ass.

I recently shipped 4 wheels and tires at a UPS store. Besides helping to unload the wheels out of my car the ups guy did everything: cart them in, place them in boxes and boxed them up. The guy must of used a whole roll of tape just to seal the boxes. Great service but shipping wheels and tires is not cheap.

it should be noted taht UPS stores are franchises, so some stores are better than others

I would place everything back into the Wii box. Buy a box big enough with about 2-4" around the entire box and then fill box with styrafoam peanuts. Then place the Wii gently in the box, fill with peanuts until completely full and box is submerged. Tape and ship.

I would think the best way would be to buy a box, some bubble wrap or packing peanuts (whatever is cheaper, bubble wrap is better though), a roll of tape. Pack it yourself, go to ups, fedex, or usps website. Calculate shipping cost, print a label, and drop off at a location.
