I have a single CD I need to mail to a friend. Do the cardboard sleeves the USPS have work okay?

I'd say no from past experience, it's better to ship them in an empty DVD case, like the one's AOL CD-Roms come in :)

Ahh yes, perhaps I will make a quick stop past Circuit City the next time I'm out. :D Thanks.

I've sent CD's to friends in a regular letter envelope, risky, but i haven't had one get cracked yet :)

Send it in a small USPS box - the smallest one they carry. Put it in a regular CD case and tape the cd case to one of the inner sides of the box really well, and put foam peanuts in the box to cushion it.
