I'm seeing the instructions on here talking about just mailing the paper bits and not the jewel cases. Is this the standard practice on here? |

Most of the CD's I receive are mailed without cases. A VERY small % of the CD's I receive are damaged this way. Postage to mail a CD with a case will cost you $2.80. Postage without a case (provided your package is less than 1/4" thick) generally costs 85¢ The key to mailing CD's that are not damaged is to keep your mailer out of the sorting machine. I like the cardboard 6x6 CD mailers like this: https://www.amazon.com/Cardboard-Document-Self-Seal-Shipping-Envelope/dp/B07CTB4K7X/ref=sr_1_11?crid=1XDY3D77ZRS84&dchild=1&keywords=cd+mailers+cardboard+self+seal&qid=1606579833&sprefix=cd+mailers%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-11 I've also used small manilla envelopes, and used cereal box cardboard inside. Dollar Tree sells 8 packs of manilla envelopes. I cut the envelopes down a bit as 9" is too tall. These mailers don't look like standard letters, then I write non-machinable on the backside as well. Do not use a bubble mailer unless you expect to pay $2.80. It's too thick for 85¢

I have always sent mine with the cases. I would consider sending them without, but with those cardboard mailers on Amazon, do the discs need any extra packing? I would be concerned that they get bent by the P.O., thereby breaking the CD. |

Being the type A person I am, I took to the paper cutter and precut a bunch of cardboard backers. I use a stiff, thicker bit of corigated for rigidness and a thinner bit of cardboard for protection on the other side (and to keep the thickness down) Seems to work rather spiffy in the stock paper wrap. |
