Cincinnati, OH
I shipped my old BBB to Europe in a Tron box. Definitely worth saving boxes if you think you may need to ship a game down the road.

Quoted from flynnibus:I'm still trying to get my head around what you are doing. You are saving all the packing material too? The box itself is pointless without the system its used in and the game having to be the same form factor. I mean, putting it in a box just invites the pallet to be handled like a stackable box and still requires it to be palletized. If you are going to palletize it, why limit yourself to the horrible basic protection the factory box gives, instead of actually wrapping the game and providing protection that isn't just a hollow shell?
You center the game and fill all the gaps with towels... old beach and bath towels (or new ones, they're cheap). Pack 'em in there good, all around and the game is snug as a bug in a rug. They also can protect against minor fork incidents. The only thing better than the box would be a wooden crate, and those significantly increase weight and shipping costs. "Wrapping" the game doesn't do shit.
Quoted from flynnibus:It does when you actually wrap padding
... um, that's what the towels are.
No, they don't slip down when they're folded and stuffed in the box all around the game.
Sometimes I think you argue just for the sake of arguing. Blah blah blah...
The game made it to Europe with no damage; I'd say the packing worked just fine.
