I have a book that was requested today that has a CD that comes with it. I'm worried about the CD breaking in transit. Should I put this in a box? And, if I do, will I still be able to send it via media mail, or would another method be better? |

You can definitely send it via MM but that is a slower class of mail. You may find First Class Parcel isn't that much more and should move your book/CD along faster. If you're worried about the CD breaking, find a small box for the book or get a padded envelope to mail it in. |

I mail audio cd's all the time. I use a padded envelope. It is media and can be sent media mail. So choose whichever is more economical for you. If 1st class is only a bit more than I use that, otherwise MM. |

The padded envelope is a good idea, but would add another week before I could mail it. I have a couple of Amazon boxes around here somewhere that will work. I'm clearing out my computer books and they are big, heavy ones, most with CDs. I hope I don't end up having to remove some of them because I don't have the stuff to mail them! I'm not sure a padded envelope would be such a good idea with some of these really big ones. More pondering to be done . . . :-D Thanks for the help! |

Cut a piece of cardboard the same size as the book and tuck it in behind the cover that has the CD. A stiff, thickish piece. Tha will provide protection against bending & against poking. |
