How much would it cost to ship two textbooks?

Question

I need to ship two textbooks, one hard-back and the other paper-back, what would be the cheapest package to ship them in, and how much should it cost me? Thanks!

Answer 1

Put them in the smallest box that they'll fit in and go to the Post Office. Tell them you'd like to send it via Media Mail .It's a fairly inexpensive way to ship things like books, DVDs and CDs. The cost will just depend on how much the books weigh. The link below will take you to a page the lists the rates based on weight.

Answer 2

some above said put it in a box forget the box they go by weight and size and they will measure so you will pay  more. put it in a envelope you will have to pay for the padded kind but worth it.( they have them at the post office not expensive.) also send by ground like a boat or ship thats the cheapest method if you send by air it will come quicker but more expensive. also decide if you want the books insured if you do there is another fee. if not your taking your chances if it arrives and if its lost your out of pocket they won't refund.

also keep in mind depending where your sending the books. in the states would be cheaper . Europe more expensive.
