priority will be pretty expensive, it starts at like 3.98 but then they factor weight and where its going i think.

but only other option is first class, which is just as fast as media mail i think

the book is VERY heavy, about 4-5 lbs. it cost more if it just go by prority.

2-8 day delivery, read the chart. Any of those shippers qualify. It would be either usps priority mail, fedex or ups ground, dhl/airborne ground service. Personally, 5lbs might be cheaper with fedex/ups then priority. Plug in you data into the usps calculator, & then try the other sites.

You just ship it priority, it's $7.70 for a flat rate box, or $3.85 if you can fit it in a flat rate envelope.
