Are video games on cd eligible for media mail

According to the United States Postal Service (USPS), video games on CD-ROM are eligible for Media Mail shipping, which is a cost-effective and efficient way to send media items, including games, books, and music.

Here are the guidelines:

  1. The game must be a CD-ROM, not a DVD-ROM or a digital download.
  2. The game must be a pre-recorded CD-ROM, not a blank CD or a CD-R.
  3. The game must be packaged in a protective sleeve or case to prevent damage during shipping.

Media Mail rates are lower than First-Class Package Service rates, and the shipping time is typically 2-8 business days, depending on the destination.

To qualify for Media Mail, you'll need to follow these steps:

  1. Ensure the game is packaged properly to prevent damage.
  2. Use a Media Mail shipping label, which can be purchased at a post office or online.
  3. Attach the label to the outside of the package.
  4. Complete the customs form (if applicable) and attach it to the outside of the package.

Keep in mind that Media Mail is only available for shipping within the United States. If you need to ship internationally, you'll need to use a different shipping service, such as First-Class Package International Service or Priority Mail International.

Remember to check with your local post office for any specific requirements or restrictions on shipping video games on CD-ROM via Media Mail.
