New subscriber here. I just messed up and sold a batch of Robert B. Parker hardcovers for 29.00 and the shipping via media mail was 21.00. luckily, I only paid 30 cents each but still, gotta watch those media mail prices. no more hardcover bundles for me.
What’s your experience with mailing DVDs (like normal movies) via media mail? My post office has just recently said that is not permitted. All the things I find online seem to say it’s ok but my post master says it’s not.
You may need to have a conversation with your postmaster using whatever info from USPS directly. Movies have traditionally been considered media mail, unless there has been a very recent regulation change. That being said, with ground advantage, regular DVDs won't be that much more expensive to ship.
@@boogdoc8909 right he and I have talked several times with examples and he sees a section about computer readable media that mentions DVDs and since all DVDs can be read by computer says that’s the relevant rules even though that’s really taking about software on dvd. There’s another part about recorded sound and video but says that would only be about home movies or that sort of thing. It’s only a difference of maybe 20-40 cents per item or more if it’s bulk but it all adds up. I’m always polite to him about this since they do let me drop off mail before they officially open in the morning which is huge for me since I’m on my way to work then.
