How to ship Gaming Console
Start with the device family and the exact bundle. A home console, handheld, and VR kit need different protection around their screens, controllers, and power equipment. Use the model guides below for the detailed packing plan, then return to the calculator with the complete packed measurements. Keep sale or gift shipments separate from a manufacturer service return that already has instructions and a label.
What affects the shipping cost?
Device and bundle
Count every console, controller, dock, adapter, and game included. The completed bundle determines both weight and the room needed to separate hard accessories.
Protection and retail packaging
An intact original insert can support the device, while an outer carton protects the retail box. Use the final carton dimensions rather than bare product specifications.
Destination and contents
Compare services for the actual destination and delivery deadline. Identify battery-containing handhelds, controllers, and accessories accurately when completing the shipment details.
Example packed sizes and weights
These are illustrative planning examples, not product specifications, required box sizes, or shipping quotes. Measure and weigh your sealed package before entering it in the calculator. Examples do not fill in the form.

Pack, measure, and buy your label

- Power equipment down and follow the maker preparation instructions for a sale or service return.
- Support the main device without pressure on screens, panels, controls, or ports.
- Wrap chargers, docks, and controllers separately so they cannot move against the device.
- Seal the outer carton and measure and weigh the whole shipment, including any retail packaging.
- Compare rates in the calculator and complete the existing label checkout using the measured parcel and accurate contents.
