Postage Costs for CD's, DVD's and Video's

Has anyone posted a DVD, a CD or a Video since the postal price changes?

Can you tell what each costs to post?

Thanks,
Nevermind the dog, beware of the kids!

    ahhh cool :) i had just put on a load of auctions for dvds asking for £1.50. so should gain a few p of postage as well.

    using jiffy bags here. buying dvd size jiffy bags for 25p each
  • Videos cost £1.70 1st class. With DVDs and CDs, it depends if your packaging is slim enough to post as a Large Letter. If you keep it under 250g (which you probably will if it's in a small Jiffy bag) as well as under 25mm thick, you can post them for about 66p.

    forgot to add to that they do go as a large letter wrapped like this and are just as secure as a normal jiffy bag :)

    yea its a good idea to use bubblewrap and brown paper...

    it realy goes down to the fact that im 2 lazy. and allready bought the jiffy bags :) (off ebay so i did not have to go to shop)

    and it costs me nothing to get to the post office as its 1 min walk away :) (which i normaly get her to do same lazy reason)
  • The average DVD box set will cost £1.70 1st class, £1.39 second class.

    For thin dvds your looking at 55p 2nd class, 65p 1st class.
