don't be lazy---------- go the USPS.COM & you will see that a poster is NOT media mail.
when the postal inspector opens your package, you won't be able to defend using that class of service by saying, "Some guy on MOPO said it was okay." michael -----Original Message----- From: Roger Kim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:23 pm Subject: Re: [MOPO] Media Mail Richard, I should probably give you the full statement from the USPS website: Media Mail® service is a cost efficient way to mail books, sound recordings, recorded video tapes, printed music, and recorded computer-readable media (such as CDs, DVDs, and diskettes). Media Mail can not contain advertising except for incidental announcements of books. The maximum weight for Media Mail is 70 lbs. I think they might complain if you tried to send any sort of poster by media mail. -Roger On Sep 29, 2008, at 8:14 PM, Richard Auras wrote: Roger, Thanks for the info. Your media mail quote below actually makes me believe that what I am shipping can be sent media. I think I might have not mentioned or mistated.... the rolled poster I am shipping is not a movie poster and is a promo poster put out by Warren Publications in the 1970s with an image of Dr Creepy. It just shows the character made famous in their Creepy magazine and the only text is the copyright line in the bottom of the po ster. My thanks to all of you for your notes on this and your 'always welcome' advice.
