Are greeting cards media mail

In the United States, greeting cards are typically considered "non-media" items and are not eligible for Media Mail rates.

Media Mail is a special rate for shipping books, DVDs, CDs, and other media items that are sent through the United States Postal Service (USPS). To qualify for Media Mail rates, the item must be a published work, such as a book, periodical, or audiovisual material, and must be sent to a domestic address.

Greeting cards, on the other hand, are considered "non-media" items and are subject to the standard First-Class Mail or Priority Mail rates. This is because greeting cards are not considered published works and are not intended for mass distribution or public consumption.

However, it's worth noting that some greeting cards may be eligible for discounted rates if they are sent in bulk or as part of a larger package. For example, if you are sending a large quantity of greeting cards to a single address, you may be able to qualify for a discounted rate. Additionally, some online retailers may offer discounted shipping rates for greeting cards or other non-media items.

It's always a good idea to check with the USPS or your shipping carrier for the most up-to-date information on shipping rates and eligibility for Media Mail or other special rates.
