How to post a cd?

Hi guys, just a quick question, if Im sending a cd by post do I have to take it to the po or can I just pop it into a post box, the weight is 100 grams, thanks

Personally I would put it in a jiffy bag, put the postage on it and put it in the post box. You can put anything within reason in a post box as long as it fits through the slot.

I print the postage off online, and do this for as many items as I can.

Advantage - saves waiting in a queue behind 1000 pensioners at the post office.
Disadvantage - you wont have any proof of postage, so if the buyer doesnt receive the item (or claims not to have received it) then you will have no come back.

Be careful though- my cd's (wrapped in one layer of bubble wrap and in a plastic envelope/bag) with small piece of paper weigh over 100g- costing 81p to post (and not 51p as this only covers up to 100g). Don't want buyer ending up with a fee!

Like Orkney says is this under or over 100g as most CDs in a case go over the 100g limit and will cost 81p 2nd class.
