How to Send a DVD in the Mail
Sending a DVD to somebody via standard mail is not as simple as placing the disc inside of an envelope as you would a card or letter. Calculating the necessary postage when sending the DVD is key to prevent it being sent back to you due to insufficient postage. Protecting the DVD from scratches, cracks or other damage is also important, especially for individuals selling discs to customers or trading discs with fellow fans.
