First Class Mail is the best rate to use to send packages weighing under 8 ounces. The average DVD (in its case, packaged) will weigh between 4 and 5 ounces. The cutoff for Media Mail/First Class mailing is 4 ounces, so some one or two-disc movies will go First-Class mailing rate and some will go Media Mail.
Boxes for the lowest rate are available in shapes suitable for sending a DVD, a video tape or a paperback book. The maximum weight is 4 pounds. The largest flat-rate box for Priority Mail International measures 12 by 12 by 5. Mailings to Canada and Mexico cost $39.95.
