pauljgreco Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hey guys. I'm shipping my first records and have a question! I've bought on here a ton and have mailers around. I've packaged up a 12" in a standard mailer, with two cardboard inserts, and a 7" in a standard 7" mailer with two cardboard inserts. We had a scale around the house that I can't seem to find. I know I can go to the post office to do this but would rather print the labels from home rather than weighing the packages there. What would a standard 12" record/sleeve (not a gatefold jacket, just typical record sleeve) and two cardboard inserts weigh? Also the same for a 7"? Thanks!

kamalatapes Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 7" can go for 1st class just enter 13.0z I ship 12" media mail at 2 lbs just to be safe but they usually end up being 1.5oz around there, but it's the same price online 2.98 + .20 tracking = 3.18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrowsmith89 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I recently ordered a couple of 7" and a standard 12", and I kept those mailers with the postage still on. Both of the 7" are 6 oz first class and the 12" is 2 lbs media mail. You could probably do a little less for the 12", but since you are not sure, I would just go with 2 lbs for now.

pauljgreco Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Sweet! I really appreciate the replies. I would just go to weigh, but it seems a lot easier to just print the labels online and just stop by and drop them off at the post office. I just did media for both, 7" at 13.0oz and the 12" at 2lb. Both were right around 3$ each for shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenanigans Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 media mail prices go per pound so just do 2 lbs. first class changes by the oz. 1 7" is usually around 6 or 7 ozs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
