Can i send a poster via media mail

According to the United States Postal Service (USPS), Media Mail is a cost-effective way to send books, educational materials, and other media items, but it has some specific requirements and limitations.

Here are the key points to consider:

  1. Eligible items: Media Mail is designed for sending books, educational materials, and other media items, such as:
    • Books (hardcover and paperback)
    • CDs and DVDs
    • Audiobooks
    • Tapes (audio and video)
    • Educational materials (e.g., textbooks, workbooks, and educational software)
  2. Ineligible items: Media Mail is not suitable for sending:
    • Posters (unless they are part of a book or educational material)
    • Printed materials (e.g., brochures, flyers, and catalogs)
    • Commercial items (e.g., merchandise, products, and advertising materials)
    • Personal items (e.g., gifts, souvenirs, and collectibles)
  3. Size and weight limits: Media Mail has specific size and weight limits:
    • Maximum weight: 70 pounds
    • Maximum length: 108 inches (including girth)
    • Maximum girth: 130 inches
  4. Special handling: If you need to send a poster via Media Mail, you can do so if it's part of a book or educational material. In this case, the poster must be attached to the book or material in a way that prevents it from being easily removed.

If your poster is not part of a book or educational material, you may need to use a different shipping service, such as First-Class Package Service or Priority Mail.

Before sending your poster, make sure to check the USPS website or consult with a postal representative to ensure you're using the correct shipping service and following the proper procedures.
