They fit perfect in the smaller sturdy priority mail boxes. I request these from sellers when ordering Saturn & Sega CD games, I also do the same for cardboard boxes like SNES & Jaguar. Sometimes the seller will request $1-2 extra. Worth it IMO.

There used to be a Priority box that they'd fit in, as well as DVDs. The small flat rate box is too small to fit either now. I haven't seen the other size available at the post office in ages.

I'm pretty sure they still have it. It's not a flat rate box, it's just the standard small Priority box. I bought a CIB N64 game a couple months back and it came in one of them. Of course, maybe the seller had a ton of them on hand from back when. But I have gotten them in the mail from time to time since the flat rate boxes have come out, so I assume they still exist.

Yeah theyre still available I believe. I used one last month to mail out a 3 Genny cart lot. Unless they ever so slightly changed the dimensions & screwed us lol.

You have to admit that these cases look great on a shelf when intact.

Also worth noting some PS1 long box games came in the same SS style clear long box (although most were that thick cardboard similar to PAL SS cases).

Well, I'll admit when I'm wrong - grabbed a small priority box to test it today... too small to fit SS & SCD games in now. Sellers must've had a stockpile of the slightly larger, older boxes. Do they fit in media? Maybe trying to get DVD sellers to use media?

On a side bar, Jag & SNES boxes fit fine in them.

Try asking your post office. I know mine does not display everything and run out of supply on stuff too. I have to go to my post office today so I will ask them.

The small Priority box, not the small flat rate one, but the old small box, I believe they still have. At least, I've gotten it in the mail a few times in just the past year.

Hm, I'm referring to the small flat rate priority box that's $5.85 shipped. They're different priority & flat rate USPS boxes? I think they're the same. The flat rate just refers to the fact they don't weigh it.
