How Do You Send Something Via Media Mail?
If you send books or CDs through the mail as a textbook seller, artist or publisher, you ought to familiarize yourself with media mail, a service from the United States Postal Service. Media mail is a low-cost method of sending various types of printed and recorded media such as pamphlets, tapes, DVDs and books through the mail. Make sure your mail piece is classified as media mail. A postal worker may reject the mail and return it to sender or ask for additional postage if the worker discovers that it is not really “media” per USPS standards. See “Resources” for a listing of the exact requirements for media mail content. Pack your book, CD or other media item as you would normally. Include both a recipient and mailing address. Mark the package with a “Media Mail” stamp (preferably red). You can have one made at an office supply store. The postal service wants this marking to be prominently displayed so the mail can be classified and prioritized. At the post office, ask for media mail
