Can i send a movie dvd as media mail

According to the United States Postal Service (USPS), you can send a movie DVD as Media Mail, but there are some specific requirements and restrictions to keep in mind:

  1. Media Mail is for non-commercial purposes only: Media Mail is intended for personal, non-commercial use. If you're sending a DVD for commercial purposes, such as selling or distributing a movie, you'll need to use a different shipping service, like Priority Mail or Parcel Post.
  2. DVDs must be in their original packaging: To qualify for Media Mail, the DVD must be in its original packaging, including the case, cover art, and any inserts. If the DVD is not in its original packaging, you'll need to use a different shipping service.
  3. DVDs must be new or used in good condition: Media Mail only applies to DVDs that are in good condition, with no damage or defects. If the DVD is damaged or defective, you'll need to use a different shipping service.
  4. No special handling required: Since Media Mail is a relatively slow and inexpensive shipping service, you don't need to specify special handling, such as signature confirmation or insurance, unless you want to.
  5. Weight and size limits apply: Media Mail has weight and size limits. For DVDs, the maximum weight is 70 pounds, and the maximum size is 13 inches long, 17 inches wide, and 3 inches thick.

To send a movie DVD as Media Mail, you'll need to:

  1. Go to a USPS post office or online at usps.com.
  2. Choose the Media Mail shipping option.
  3. Enter the package details, including the weight and dimensions of the DVD.
  4. Pay the applicable postage fee, which is based on the weight and distance of the shipment.

Keep in mind that Media Mail is a relatively slow shipping service, with delivery times ranging from 2-8 business days, depending on the distance. If you need faster delivery, you may want to consider using a different shipping service, like Priority Mail or Parcel Post.
