Best way to ship NES consoles?

I usually use the USPS flat rate boxes for stuff, but you can't fit an NES with a zapper in there.  Anybody have some suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris

    I also use the flat rate boxes, they work perfectly to ship a NES, controller, SMB/DH game, and wires. However, I never had to ship one with a Zapper as well. I'd just get a bigger box and ship it Parcel Post or Priority.

    It fits with a zapper. Here's how you do it. Sorry, no pics as I'm separated from my camera.



    Put SMB/DH inside the system.



    Put the system in the bottom. In the space along the side/front, put your a/v cable or r/f adapter. Either will fit there, slid down the side.



    Lay the zapper across the top, pointing towards the side of the box you wedged your TV cable into. Put the a/c adapter, prongs down, so that the prongs fit down the side where you wedged the TV cable, just below the nose of the zapper.



    It helps to have all of your cords rubber-banded. The two controllers (I include two since I always seem to have extras, but you can get by with one if you sell a zapper with it) will both arrange in the rest of the empty space, with their cords and the cords of the zapper and the power cable.



    You may need to overlap some cord somewhere over a controller to get it all to fit properly, but no funny-business, it all fits no problem.
