Answer 1

if you go to the post office you will need to find a box and put the address on it.

you'll need a big box and should add some newspapers to keep it from getting damaged.

you can go online and estimate the cost to ship it.

you can go to a place like mailboxes . com and they will pack it and box it for you but expect to pay a charge for the box and a fee for them to box it up and mail for you.  

Answer 2

If you go have enough money then you certainly can do it yourself. There are no age requirements for mailing items.  Since it is a package, you will need to get a box and something like styrofoam or bubble wrap to protect the PS2.  Tape it up really well.  On the top-side of the box you write the name and address of the person you are sending it to.   On the 1st line write the 1st and last name.  The 2nd line you write the house number and the road name, and the last line you write the town, state and zip code.

Example....  John Smith

                   420 High Street

                   Beverly Hills, California 90210

And then on the top left hand corner you write your name and return address (your home address or P.O. box)

Bring it to the post office and they will weigh it, tell you how much shipping will cost and thats it.

UPS or FedEx is another alternative.

Answer 3

Yes you can send mail by yourself.
