Within the U.S.
Media Mail is the slowest but least expensive option. Delivery time ranges from 2-8 business days. Its rate is calculated by the package weight and distance to destination. Media Mail may be used for any small or large packages or thick envelopes (containing books, educational or printed music/music media) weighing up to 70 lbs. total. Prices range from 1 lb. = $2.69 on up to 35 lbx. = $18.45 and on from there.
First Class is much quicker (average 1 -3 business days) and includes other benefits (e.g. domestic USPS Tracking) but is only available for letters, large envelopes and small packages weighing up to (but not more than) 13 oz total package weight. (Items weighing more than 13 oz total are automatically converted to Priority shipments.) Its rate is also calculated by the package weight and distance to destination. Prices range from approx $.50 to $3. Note: large envelopes cannot exceed 3/4” in thickness and must be bendable; otherwise, they will be treated as parcels.
