asked on

is there an economy shipping rate for DVD's and VHS media?

Hello and Good Evening Everyone,

        I am wondering what the most affordable rate is for shipping a packaged DVD or VHS tape within the U.S.   Seeing that I might be shipping several different ones, I want to keep the shipping cost down to a minimum as much as possible.

        Any feedback that can be given in reply to this question will be greatly appreciated.

        Thank you

The most economical shipping method in Canada and the United States is US Postal Service / Canadian Postal Service parcel post standard delivery. This has always been the cheapest.  I ship from both locations.

Insurance (if you need to insure) is extra costs.  

Delivery is usually several days to a business week.

Hi George,

I can't say that it is "the most affordable rate" (there may be better rates that I'm not aware of), but USPS Media Mail is reasonably priced. You may learn more about it here:

Note, however, that Media Mail has some restrictions, such as not containing advertising. Regards, Joe

Thank you, everyone, for your shared suggestions and resourceful links.  I especially appreciated the link provided by Dr. Klahn which contained a chart for a quick review of the expected shipping cost based upon the number of units and weight.
