Media Mail

Can USPS's media mail deliver video games like a PS2 game?

 

[Evadman]

yes.

But it will take forever to get delivered.

If shipping just few games, it is much better to use Priority Mail Flat Rate envelope (It should be able to hold ~3-4 games easily). for more games, look into flat rate boxes for Priority Mail.

Might even want to try First Class if it is under the Max. allowed weight limit for First class.

I have to send them to different places though. What is another USPS way of sending games for under $5 each?

Priority Mail isn't that much.

Honestly if you have a SINGLE game to send to 2-3 people, first class is only a LITTLE bit more expensive than media mail, and it gets there 3-5 days faster.

Also, a single game should only cost ~1-2 dollars to ship as long as its in a bubble envelope.

Does USPS give the bubble evelopes free?

No

Goto staples, it's ~$2.99 for 10

Do they sell them in Officemax or Walgreens? Stables is far from me.

Most any Drugstore, "Wal_Mart" type store, etc. should carry them.

BTW, not thread crapping or anything, but I think that anyone who uses Media Mail in trading should be Perma-Banned!

I once had a trader at FS/FT send me a Video Card by Media Mail, ($1.25, I think) took it 4 weeks to get to me! For another $.80 he could have went First Class.
Since then, I ONLY ship using Priority Mail!

use first class and keep the package under 16 oz
