USPS Media Mail Rates
Rates as of June 7, 2026
What is Media Mail?
Media Mail is a USPS service for shipping books, CDs, DVDs, and other educational materials. It is the most affordable way to ship books within the United States and is how most Ketab Gardesh exchanges are handled. Delivery typically takes 2–8 business days.
These are flat retail single-piece rates for Media Mail Large Envelopes & Parcels, applicable to any destination within the United States — the same rate regardless of whether you are shipping from California to New York or between neighboring states.
When you approve an exchange request, the requester purchases a prepaid Media Mail label and sends it to you so you can ship the book. Use the table below to set expectations on postage cost.
