Software is included in the Media Rate.
Hint:
Software and manuals can be shipped CHEAP using USPS bookrate.
Be very careful - USPS is getting VERY strict about the use of Media
Rate and Printed Bound Matter Rate. Most people use Media Rate for any
printed matter, but by law, any document that shows even a hint of
advertising or personal correspondence, even if from a 50 year old catalog
from a firm that no longer exists and written by someone now dead, can NOT
go Media Rate. Period. No Slack. I got this lecture just yesterday from the postguy in
the Post Office. He
said not to abuse Media Rate, or it will go away.
Not that this is the proper place to discuss this (famous last words) but
I don't udnerstand the premise behind that rate anyway. If it costs $X to
move item K of weight W from point A to point B, why should it be any
different to move item J of weight V instead?
