Step-by-Step Packing Process

   • If your console is new you can set up the initial set up or send it as is
2. Wrap the Console
   • Wrap your Switch in bubble wrap or packing paper
   • Create a firm protective layer approximately as thick as the console itself
   • Secure with tape, ensuring the wrapping won't come loose
3. Choose the Right Box
   • Use a small box that fits the wrapped console snugly
   • The box should be just large enough for the wrapped console with minimal extra space
4. Add Your Information Sheet
   • Place your contact information and order details in the box with the console
5. Seal the Box
   • Pack any remaining space with foam, bubble wrap, packing paper, or grocery bags so that the console does not shift around in the box
