Mailing Cost Correction

8/14/2014

1 Comment

 
Today I went to the Post Office and discovered that I had not asked the correct questions to a previous clerk about how much it would cost to mail my book.  That clerk told me that it would cost $5.80 per book to mail in the Post Office's Priority Mail envelope.  I thought that was the cheapest rate I could get.  


Today a different clerk informed me (after my sister Audrey tipped me off!) that if I sent my books at "media" rates, it would cost significantly less.  And especially for multiple copies going to the same address.  (A single copy only cost about $3.80 to mail.)  But I have to supply the packaging.  I don't know how much a single envelope will cost.  Or how much something big enough to mail more than one book will cost.  AAAARRRGHH!  I will have to get back to you all (again!).

Ed ..
I went to a supply store and purchased the #5 bubble wrap envelope 10.5 x 15" (to protect the book edges from damage). They will be cheaper if you buy several together in a package. Also being obsessive about not damaging the book I also wrapped them in brown craft paper (bought in a roll). I'm not sure if the last part is critical or not. Hope this helps you. Prices will be slightly different by area.
