Shipping Info
I am located in the UK and all items will ship direct from me using Royal Mail. You will receive an email once shipped followed by a second email with tracking details if you purchased a tracked shipping option. Only the tracked options are tracked. Only the tracked options are tracked. Only the tracked options are tracked. Did you read that? You will not receive tracking with an untracked shipping option.
Mod kits are posted out in boxes or padded envelopes depending on the type of kit or quantity. Any kit with loose metal parts such as AV connectors will go in boxes as standard. All precautions are taken to ensure the mod kits are protected during shipping.
Shipping is not free. I don’t hide the shipping price into the price of each mod kit. You only pay once for shipping per order. I will do my best to combine multiple orders and refund extra postage if possible.
Shipping prices include everything used to ensure the kits and consoles arrive at their destination safely. This is carefully calculated from the raw postage cost + box or padded envelope + internal packing material, then rounded up to the nearest 0.05. No profit is made on shipping.
These prices are as cheap as I can get them. I do not currently meet the sending volume criteria for a Royal Mail business account which might allow for cheaper shipping and tracking options. Buy more kits, help me grow. 🙂

How to Pack
Until I have the full guide up, here are a few tips.
- Post consoles in boxes, not in post bags or padded envelopes.
- Fully wrap the console in bubblewrap and place this inside a box. Placing the console into a padded envelope before placing this inside a box is also good for extra protection, if it’s a console that fits in one.
- Why put bubble wrap next to the console? If there is still space in the box to wrap more around the console, do this.
- Do not leave any space inside a box for the console to move about. Fill any voids with scrunched up newspaper. Movement equals shocks and knocks.
- The console should have equal padding on all sides to fill the box. Do not just put the console into a box and stick a load of packing material on top of it. The side with no padding is not protected from shocks.
- Please do not tape up bubble wrap. If the console is wrapped in bubble wrap well and placed inside a box, the bubble wrap will not unravel on its own. Taped up bubble wrap is difficult to open and almost always results in the bubble wrap being destroyed.
- Tape up the box with wide shipping tape. Using thin household “sellotape” is not adequate. Do not go overboard with the tape. You do not need to make the box air-tight.
- Please do not send cables, controllers or add-ons with your consoles unless requested.
- Mega CD 2 needs the extender base removing.
- Mega CD 1 needs the metal plate on the bottom removing.
- GameCube needs the GameBoy Player removing.
I will reuse packing materials to send the console back, only adding extra if necessary. This is to keep prices low.
