There was a lot of available e-Mail help when I initially was setting up the process. I wasn't really clear on the fact that I would have to pay to ship the items up front. This averaged out to about 50 cents per pound. I chose FEDEX for shipping and added an insurance coverage cost also. This is still way less expensive than if I were to buy FEDEX with insurance for this amount of weighted product regularly. I couldn't figure out where to put the coupon code in for the first shipment 20% discount. I also should have adjusted one of my shipped DVDs from the default used setting to New as this particular set was brand new still factory sealed. Most of these issues I will attribute to my unfamiliarity with the process. Please note there was an option to contact them for less expensive USPS shipping. I personally would not recommend taking this option. I am assuming by USPS shipping that they mean media mail. Media Mail always slows down right before Christmas. I have one item that I mailed by Media Mail at the end of September and now over 2 weeks later it has still not been received. The slowdown has started early this year. My Postal Clerk has told me that it has been slow for a while even before my September mail-out so I am assuming that it will only get worse. I think it is better to pay a little more and know that it will get there in a timely manner as opposed to 6 weeks or longer which is the time frame I worked with last year on delivery with Media Mail.
