Can a calendar be shipped media mail

According to the United States Postal Service (USPS), a calendar can be shipped via Media Mail, but there are some conditions and limitations to consider:

  1. Content: Media Mail is a cost-effective shipping option for books, CDs, DVDs, and other media items. To qualify, the calendar must be a printed publication, such as a book, magazine, or newspaper. If the calendar is a custom-made or specialty item, it may not be eligible for Media Mail.
  2. Weight and size: Media Mail has specific weight and size limits. For a calendar, the weight limit is 70 pounds, and the size limit is 108 inches in length and girth combined (perimeter). If your calendar exceeds these limits, you'll need to use a different shipping service.
  3. Binding: Media Mail requires that the item be bound or have a cover. A calendar that is loose-leaf or has no binding may not be eligible.
  4. Commercial value: Media Mail is intended for items with a commercial value of $2.50 or less. If your calendar has a higher commercial value, you'll need to use a different shipping service.

To ship a calendar via Media Mail, you'll need to:

  1. Ensure the calendar meets the content, weight, size, binding, and commercial value requirements.
  2. Use a Media Mail shipping label or a USPS-approved shipping label.
  3. Pay the applicable Media Mail postage rate, which is based on the weight and size of the item.

Keep in mind that Media Mail is a slower service than other USPS options, with delivery times ranging from 2-8 business days. If you need faster delivery, you may want to consider using a different shipping service, such as Priority Mail or First Class Package Service.
