USPS offers many different services other than First class/Priority Mail package services. These USPS services have restricted criteria and one must meet USPS standards. We classify these special services as Media Mail, Letter rate, and large envelope flat rate mailing services. All these services have a fixed cost to any destination, not the zone-based distance system as for first or priority mail service.
Media Mail
Media Mail is a cost-effective way to send media materials through the U.S. Postal Service. Media Mail is for shipping media items containing books, sound recordings, recorded videotapes, printed music, recorded computer-readable media (such as CDs and DVDs). The package cannot contain advertising. Packages can weigh up to 70 lbs. and measure up to 108 inches in combined length and distance around the thickest part.
