Can calendars ship media mail
According to the United States Postal Service (USPS), calendars are considered a "printed matter" item and are eligible for Media Mail shipping. Media Mail is a cost-effective way to ship books, CDs, DVDs, and other printed materials.
Here are some guidelines to keep in mind:
- Weight and size: Calendars can be shipped via Media Mail as long as they weigh less than 70 pounds and meet the USPS's size requirements (up to 108 inches in length and girth combined).
- Content: Since calendars are considered printed matter, they must contain primarily printed content, such as text, images, or graphics. If your calendar contains non-printed materials like CDs, DVDs, or other non-printed items, you may need to use a different shipping service.
- Packaging: Make sure to package your calendar securely to prevent damage during transit. You can use a sturdy envelope or a box specifically designed for shipping printed materials.
- Labeling: When shipping via Media Mail, you'll need to affix the correct postage and label your package with the "Media Mail" label.
Keep in mind that Media Mail has some restrictions and limitations, such as:
- No tracking or insurance is available for Media Mail packages.
- Delivery times are typically 2-8 business days, depending on the destination.
- Media Mail is not available for international shipping.
If you're unsure about shipping your calendar via Media Mail, you can always consult with your local post office or the USPS website for more information.
