What does the USPS let you ship via media rate? Anything?

Books, videos, CDs, cassettes, software, LPs, DVDs, magazines, and that sort of thing.

Basically, it's what the poster about said... "MEDIA."

Actually, I believe magazines have to go 'bound printed matter'. I wouldn't swear to it - but I think anything that contains advertising (like a magazine) cannot go media mail.

I've had this talk with my post office.

I (and they) have the understanding that if *I* include advertising, that's bad. If I send a magazine with advertising inside, that doesn't count.

I don't know if it's technically right or wrong, but they've let me do it for years- and they know what kind of items I sell.

Ignor everything you have read here. Go to USPS.com & learn from the source. There are many things that are NOT media. I know that Books, CD's, Tapes, VCR's are dewfinitely media. There are gray areas that only the PO can define.

Any computer readable format it also media,
according to the USPS site. That would
include software for video game systems as
they are all just a form of computer. So
Atari 2600 cartridges, and Sony Playstation
CD's both qualify, along with cassette tape
programs for the Commodore 64 and diskette
programs for the Apple II.
