Postage on a Nintendo Wii

Hello!

I'm wondering if anyone has sold a Nintendo Wii before and if so how much it cost to ship?

Any help would be appreciated so I could price everything properly.

Thank you

    check completed items and see what others have charged for postage and make your calculation from there....

  • I wouldn't look at others. If they're overcharging, you might get marked down on your stars, or if they're undercharging, you'll lose out financially!

    Get it boxed up as if you're about to send it and weigh it, then look here http://sg.royalmail.com/portal/rm/PriceFinder?catId=23500532&gear=pricingcalc to see how much Royal Mail will charge. Also, look around for any couriers which might be cheaper. Remember to take the measurement of the box as well as just the weight.

    And do price it for the most appropriate delivery method. If you think you'll get over £46 for it, then you'll need to send it Special Delivery if using royal Mail.

    If you haven't got any acurate scales, Just take it to your local post office and weigh it there.

    Once you know for sure how much it will cost, then set your postage appropriately.

    Open to correction but I believe that if you list under the 'Console' category there is a maximum postage limit of £15.25.
  • try hermes through interparcel when you go to check it, then check it against collectplus.co.uk and see which gives you the best deal.
