Its not tortoise related (and Iknow that bothers some people, but I trust and value the advice of peoplle here so I'm inquiring)
So I shared a few days ago that I am selling old textbooks on amazon. I was advised to use media mail standard shipping as the rates are lower than other options, including flat rate boxes and envelopes. However, I read that it is for educational items like books only, and subject to inspection. To make sure no restricted items are being shipped using this method. I don't have my own boxes or envelopes and also don't want to go to the post office with all packaged to have the person say they need to see what's inside...
There's also an option to buy shipping online and print shipping labels but I don't have the sticker labels to print on.
So, do you think it would be okay for me to bring the books I have to ship to the post office, go up to the teller, try to ship media mail,let them see they're books, package them, weigh them, buy postage and write out shipping labels? Has anyone used media mail shipping? I heard there's limitations for using it shipping to HI, if it's possible at all, does anyone know?
