I've always shipped USPS and am learning "methods" of making the books most secure.

I shipped a keyboard with UPS once and it was $14!!!!! USPS could've done it for less than half that. USPS every time.

Priority Mail is my FAVE way to ship, books fit perfectly!!!

How the Fxxx am I supposed to pick anything other than "OTHER" when I don't live in the USA.

 

I do like USPS boxes that turn up at my local postoffice with books inside though

 

 

Can you add Australia Post just for me.

Ummm, Russ: it does say "USPS (or your local postal service)".

I just stick a stamp on the slab and drop it in a mailbox.

[joeypost]

Some bubble wrap around the slab, cardboard to cover both sides of the book and a Priority Mail box (the larger of the two since one just barely fits a slab and can result in a cracked case if it gets dropped) and plenty of peanuts or newspaper to add protective padding.

 

I have never had a problem shipping books out this way.

Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation

[gernblanston]

Priority Mail in a box with the slab protected by two cardboard pieces and cushioning material inside. Make them stamp "fragile" on the box and add insurance and delivery confirm and you have a good chance of getting it there okay. UPS runs too many boxes over with trucks as they seem to always show up damaged.
