Hello, I am new and thus far have only sent single copies of books to those who have requested them using the postage I buy here at PBS. I just received notification that someone wants two books which will be going to the same address. Using the PBS system to buy postage, is there a way they can calculate sending more than one book bundled into one package or do I need to send them to the same address individually? Thanks, Laura |

Hi Laura and welcome to PBS. The Help Center can answer your question better than I can:
What if I send multiple books? How does that work?

I would just like to add that if you use the printed postage available here that you invest in a postal scale because the weights are not always accurate (in an occasional instance, off by a pound or two), especially when there are several books involved. You don't need an expensive scale, just something that will display weight in ounces, as many inexpensive food scales do. You will quickly pay for the scale in the savings you will see when you have accurate weights for the books you are sending. |

Laura, welcome to PBS! It's great you've found the forums - you can obtain lots of helpful advice here. I just want to add that you definitely want to mail both books together to take advantage of postage savings. Because media mail rates are set in one-pound increments, you can mail two "average sized" books for just a few cents more than a single book. Sending 3 or more books to the same address is an even better deal! |
