MEDIA MAIL (Re: [TekScopes] I have two Tek manuals I don't think I need)
|
They are trained NOT to tell you. You have to ASK for it or as the previous poster said it is available through PayPal shipping includes tracking. Tell them it just a "manuscript" and DO NOT INCLUDE any correspondence. You put a one page letter in there and suddenly it is a 1st class mail

So, just fyi.. I went back to the PO and asked "What about the media mail
option?" ... Bascially, it was "Oh, that? $3.17" (for what was originally $11.80). Pretty shocked that, like Dave says, they neglected to offer that option in the first place when I requested "least expensive shipping option."

You got to be vigilant at the PO, know before you go! Google and asking questions here really helps you out. If it sounds fishy go back another day or see another PO. Use a different guy/girl on another day at the PO. Vince :) --- -vince :") Thank you for your reply Got computer troubles, We have the answers!

David, they absolutely don't want to offer it.

I just mailed a book (a user guide for a camera) to a friend. The counter agent was funny. I handed the package over and said "it's a book and it should go the cheapest way possible." I didn't mention "Media mail" mostly as a test after seeing Dave's comment (I usually write media mail on the package before I even go to the post office.) The fellow tells me about the priority mail and First class prices.... I smiled and said "wow, that's expensive for a book... (long pause) but I didn't hear you mention a 'media mail' price?" Him: "Oh, sorry, just one second, let me look that up for you" I could see the screen in a reflection and the price was right there.... The cost was something like $3.17 (or less) instead of $11 to $17. I get that they want to be as profitable as possible, but I think they need to do that through efficiency and not by overcharging the customer and directing them away from services that were designed just to benefit certain kinds of mailings. They'd be far better off to charge a 1/10 cent more for junk mail than push retail customers to high priced services that make them choose UPS or some other service.
