What shipping method should i use when sending movies/games within U.S? -

I just started working with ebay recently and have started selling items. A majority of the items that i sell are either video games, movies or other dvd s. My question is what is the best shipping method general used for these via usps. I will only be shipping within the U.S. For my item that i am selling i am shipping through usps priority mail, but i think that might be one of the most expensive. Any tips or advice?

You have 4 basic choices but all have additional options available.Express Mail - is very quick but very expensive. Delivery confirmation is included.Priority Mail - is reasonably priced and is delivered in 2 to 3 days. The delivery confirmation is included in the cost and is a good idea so your customers cannot say it never arrived.The Post Office gives free Priority Mail boxes and envelopes in many different sizes and shapes so you save on packing costs. Order online for free home delivery.Parcel Post - is cheap but slower, taking about 5 to 10 days. Delivery confirmation is extra.Media Mail - is the cheapest and can only be used for certain items. Fortunately, your items qualify because Media mail is for books, CDs, DVDs, etc. Media Mail is slow, taking about 7 to 10 days. The Post Office has the right to open Media Mail to determine if it qualifies for the discounted rate.I almost always ship by USPS Priority Mail because my customers enjoy the quick delivery. I know when I buy something, I am excited for it to arrive soon. eBay gives you the option of letting your buyer select the method and subsequent price of shipping. Some don t mind the extra cost. Others are not in a hurry and prefer the lower shipping fee. I always give my buyers the option of insuring their packages, with a the statement... Insurance for this item is only $1.75 (or the applicable fee) and is recommended. I cannot be responsible for items lost or damaged by the Post Office during delivery. If I the item is of greater value and can absorb insurance costs easily, I include insurance with shipping, stating it is free . There is one more delivery option. Items are automatically insured with United Parcel Service (UPS) and you can order and print online, just like USPS..

hey, for shipping products outside US,Viaddress is the best . I have been using them since many years. Their rates are much lower thanBongous, Vpost, Borderlinx .I have had purchased several items online and shipped them to India by viaddress service only and the most important thing is, items are always received in perfect conditions.2 years ago i had to buy a necklace for my mom and the liked one wasn t available here. so i bought it from eBay and shipped them through viaddreess. Necklace was reached in 3 days. they are really fast, reliable and trustworthy.i would say, for international customers, it is must to have them. here is the link.http://viaddress.com/Also they have live chat support, so if you need any assistance, they are always ready to answer your queries.

USPS Priority Mail is best for shippings movies/games inside us.
