No -- Again, no



<< Use Media Mail or book rate for books, film, printed music, sound recordings and computer-readable media. >>




<< Generally used for books (at least eight pages), film (16 mm or narrower), printed music, printed test materials, sound recordings, play scripts, printed educational charts, loose-leaf pages and binders consisting of medical information, and computer-readable media. >>


Use Google next time.

They open it up when you send it and if it isn't printed material, they charge you with a federal felony.

Haha MS sent me the wrong mouse, and I figured since it was a scam, I shouldnt complain. Then they sent me the correct one about 3 weeks later :)

It was a redundant question :p

Isn't MS essentially breaking the law?

I just got a sound card from a guy on ebay and he used Media Rate. Made me realize people will do anything to save a buck or two.
