Can usps pick up media mail

Yes, the United States Postal Service (USPS) can pick up Media Mail packages. Media Mail is a type of mail service offered by the USPS that allows for the shipping of books, CDs, DVDs, and other media items at a lower cost than regular First-Class Mail.

To have a Media Mail package picked up by the USPS, you can follow these steps:

1. Prepare your package: Make sure your package is properly packaged and labeled with the correct postage and address.
2. Schedule a pickup: You can schedule a pickup with the USPS by visiting their website, calling their customer service number, or visiting a local post office.
3. Choose the Media Mail option: When scheduling the pickup, let the USPS representative know that you would like to use Media Mail service for your package.
4. Provide the package information: The USPS representative will ask for the package information, including the weight, dimensions, and contents of the package.
5. Confirm the pickup: Once the pickup is scheduled, the USPS representative will confirm the details and let you know when the pickup will occur.

Some things to keep in mind when using Media Mail:

• Media Mail is only available for shipping within the United States.
• Media Mail packages are subject to certain restrictions, such as a maximum weight limit of 70 pounds and a maximum length of 108 inches.
• Media Mail packages are not trackable, so you will not be able to track the package's progress.
• Media Mail packages are typically delivered within 2-8 business days, depending on the distance and service level chosen.

It's also important to note that the USPS may not always be able to pick up Media Mail packages, especially if they are not a priority or if there are other packages that need to be picked up first. If you are unable to schedule a pickup, you can also drop off your package at a local post office or mail center.
