i ship games from florida to california with tracking all the time. it costs me at the absolute most 4.50, and that is taking into consideration of the tracking, which costs about 1.25, and the original shipping without the tracking is about 3.00, so together you should not have to pay more than 4.50. you can buy bubble mailers at dollar tree 2 for $1. i just think $7.00 to ship out one game is way too high unless you are going to buy 2 day shipping.
