Your choice of gaming system is much like your choice of beverage, a matter of taste. We offer the most reliable way to send a game console and accessories, to anywhere in the World.
These powerful entertainment devices have become hugely popular over the past 20 years,
so much so that we feel we have become a specialist courier for PlayStation's with the amount of them that we handle.
We don't just send PlayStations, we can ship any game console, headset, or controller from just £6.53 + VAT.
So if you are sending a game console for repair, or have sold it on eBay, we have a range of shipping options to suit your budget and requirements.
As we only partner with industry leaders, when you send an Xbox console, or any other gaming device, it can be fully insured against loss or damage (exclusions apply).
We only use the World's most reliable carriers, such as DHL, UPS, DPD and Fedex.
We find that someone would generally use our courier for PlayStation service when they have sold the device or are sending a PlayStation for repair, or to a friend or family member.

How to Send Game Consoles by Courier
Prerequisites:
Bubble wrap
Parcel tape
Cardboard box
A cardboard box must be used for the outer packaging due to COVID-19 handling restrictions.
When you need to send a game console, for example, Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo Switch, the correct packaging will ensure that it arrives in one piece.
Sending a game console for repair or servicing, or after an eBay sale, is simple with Overland Express.
Where possible, always use the manufacturers packaging and enclose it in an additional outer box, for added security.
An additional box can be found free of charge at most local supermarkets.
When preparing to send a game console, line the first box with a minimum of 2 layers of bubble wrap, then wrap the game console itself in 2 layers of bubble wrap,
keeping any cables and accessories separate, to avoid any possible damage during transit.
Place the item in the lined box and fill any gaps with additional bubble wrap or packing material.
Crumpled paper can also be used to fill any spaces. Make sure that no surfaces are touching the sides, or top and bottom of the box.
Put an additional 2 layers of bubble wrap on top of the item, before closing the box and sealing with good quality parcel tape. Seal the box in both directions, paying attention to the seams and edges.
Extra attention at this stage will minimise any risk of damage during transit.
Once this stage is finished, prepare the outer box, using 2-3 layers of parcel tape to secure the bottom of the box.
Line the base and the sides of the box with bubble wrap and place the first box inside the larger box. You may need to add additional layers of bubble wrap, depending on the size of the outer box.
Fill any gaps with crumpled paper or packing material and shake the box to check if there is any movement.
You can add additional packing material to make sure that the inner box does not move around during transit.
Once you are happy with the packing, seal the box securely with parcel tape and print off and attach your parcel label to the box.
