Suggestion to all sellers and buyers:

When Shipping Catalogs, Sears Catalogs or   Heavy documentation for automobiles etc, or any kind of printed BOOKS.

Please do the buyer a favor and help them save a little money in the shipping process of these heavy items.  I see a lot of  Old Collectible Sears Catalogs shipping for $10 or more.   When shipping written or paper material via the post office always ship  BOOK RATE or what is called MEDIA MAIL.  You often hear both of these terms used at the post office and they mean the same thing.  All media mail will ship for about 2/3rd less the price of Parcel post or First Class mail, it may take a few days longer to get to the final destination shipping by Media Mail, but you can ship these heavy items to your buyers far cheaper.  It's well worth the effort and saves both the buyer and seller $$, there is no reason for making the post office rich shipping heavy items by parcel post when Book Rate / Media Mail rate will get your heavy paper items such as an old Sears Catalogs or heavy books like Chiltons Auto guides (service documentation) to your buyer far cheaper!  You will have a happier Ebay customer by saving them money in shipping chargers!  If it's got print on it and it's all paper then it qualifies for this special LOWER mailing rate!

Media Mail Rate / Book Rate Mail.
