Singlehandedly keeping the postal service in business

I just spent $87 dollars shipping about half of the books and journals in my office to Tulane; at least using Media Mail saved me a bunch of money. Tomorrow I get to go back and finish the job, once I get some more of the useful-sized boxes from Office* (12×12×6 ones seem to work best for office books).

At least there is no question you’re mailing books. I’ve had several an engaged postal employee grill me about what I was mailing when I was mailing some DVD or CD I’d sold on half.com via Media Mail. The USPS also used to have something called Bound & Printed Matter which was cheaper than Media Mail; don’t know if they still do, but you may want to ask?
