Looking to save on shipping?
Consider using Media Mail when eligible. Media Mail is a shipping service offered by the USPS that can be used to send non-time-sensitive, educational materials. These can include items like books, educational references, CDs, DVDs, and more. Check the USPS website for a full list of eligible items.
If your items do qualify, you’re in luck as Media Mail prices are considerably lower than other services and start as low as $4.13. Just keep in mind that in exchange for the low price, Media Mail shipments take a little longer to be delivered – typically between 2-8 business days.
If you ship packages frequently, you may also want to consider joining the FedEx Rewards program to snag discounts of 15% – 30% off your shipments. If you prefer UPS, the shipping service offers discounts to AAA and AARP members.
