How to ship CD's

I use the Tuff poly bubble mailers if sending one at a time and have had great success with no complaints from any of my recipients. The USPS media mail sending 6 cd's with tracking coast to coast runs about $5.

I would add cardboard inserts on those hard to replace jewel cases of sacd's, inside padded envelope .

padded envelops. you can also separate cd from jewel case and enclose piece of bubble wrap inside the jewel case

Here's a couple of options to the padded envelope.

.

The best packagers also placed a thin square of foam inside the case, between the top cover and the CD/SACD so the CD cannot move, and the case top os cushioned from the inside.
Buying one sheet of thin foam and cutting it into 3mm squares would do a lot of mailings.
You can add delivery confirmation to any package for under a buck. USPS online confirmation.
