AP CD boxes

harley_babes_hoard — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 23:25:36 GMT

Can someone tell me if the little boxes which are 13 x 12 (i think they call them CD boxes) can they be sent as large letters? I have one here but it does not fit through my letter gauge.

AP CD mailers are designed to go as large letter rate and actually say so on the mailer. Of course if you cram something in there that makes the mailer stretch to beyond 20mm, then a grumpy APO employerr may charge you parcel rate.

hmm ok this one is a blank box so it might not be AP issue. It is empty and won't fit through my letter guage. Thanks I don't think I'll use it.

There are 2 types of CD mailers.

1st is the flat CD mailer that can also have photos go into them which go as larger letter.

2nd is the CD mailer which holds the entire cd and cover which I have posted with as a large letter in the past.

But because of AP changes to pricing lately you're better off asking AP about it before you decide to use them.

doesn't have to be an AP box for CD but does have to fit through the 2cm letter gauge - so no, don't use it.

Well the actual CD box/mailers are less than 20mm thick so will go as a large letter,I'm not sure what CD box OP is talking about then??? maybe an actual box that looks like a CD mailer???

Quote from AP rep on AP facebook page to similar query

CD/DVDs with or without their jewel case can be sent as a 'large letter' providing the item presented for lodgement meets the Large Letter size requirements (no greater than 260x360x20mm and under 500g in weight). A Postpak CD Mailer would fall under the 'large letter' category.
