# What it costs to sell and ship a DVD or Blu-ray box set

On a $25 box set, Amazon takes $5.55 (15% plus its $1.80 closing fee), eBay $4.23 (15.3% for Movies & TV), Mercari $2.50, Whatnot $3.03 and TikTok Shop $1.50, before shipping. DVDs and Blu-rays qualify for Media Mail, so a 2 lb box set costs $5.13 and a 5 lb complete series $7.34, anywhere in the US.

Below: fees at $10, $25, $60 and $150, postage by weight, and what can take a box set out of Media Mail: a figure, a game disc or a bundled gadget.

### If the buyer pays $5.13 shipping

Here the buyer pays the Media Mail price for 2 lb and all of it goes on the label. eBay, Mercari, Etsy, Amazon and TikTok Shop take their percentage from buyer-paid shipping too, and Whatnot's and Depop's processing fees cover it; Poshmark buyers pay Poshmark's own label instead.

## Shipping a DVD or Blu-ray box set: USPS prices by weight

DVDs and Blu-ray discs qualify for Media Mail under DMM 173.4.1e, which covers sound recordings and adds: “Video recordings and player piano rolls are classified as sound recordings” ([DMM 173.4.1e](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/173.htm)). Media Mail is priced by the pound and “any fraction of a pound is considered a whole pound” ([DMM 173.1.2](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/173.htm)), and costs the same to every zone.

USPS can check: “the mailing of articles at Media Mail or Library Mail prices constitutes consent by the mailer to postal inspection of the contents” ([DMM 173.2.2](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/173.htm)). Video games are the exception people trip on: “Video games, computer drives, and digital drives do not qualify for Media Mail prices” ([USPS](https://www.usps.com/ship/mail-shipping-services.htm)).

*USPS Notice 123 effective Oct 4, 2026. Each weight is "not over"; Media Mail is priced by the pound, rounded up. Commercial prices are USPS's published prices for labels bought online; retail is the Post Office counter. Ground Advantage prices include USPS's temporary holiday add-on until Jan 17, 2027; Media Mail has none. Weights are examples: weigh your packed item.*

| Packed weight | Media Mail | Ground Advantage, commercial, Zone 1 | Ground Advantage, commercial, Zone 4 | Ground Advantage, commercial, Zone 8 | Ground Advantage, retail, Zone 4 |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| [1 lb](https://resellerindex.com/rates/usps-shipping-cost/1-lb/) a small box set | $4.39 | $8.01 | $8.55 | $11.22 | $11.10 |
| [2 lb](https://resellerindex.com/rates/usps-shipping-cost/2-lb/) a season box set | $5.13 | $8.39 | $8.91 | $13.42 | $13.50 |
| [3 lb](https://resellerindex.com/rates/usps-shipping-cost/3-lb/) a large box set | $5.86 | $9.04 | $10.07 | $16.30 | $14.20 |
| [5 lb](https://resellerindex.com/rates/usps-shipping-cost/5-lb/) a complete series | $7.34 | $10.35 | $11.67 | $20.24 | $16.60 |

## Platform labels

A label bought through a selling platform follows that platform's price list. These are the label prices on our [change tracker](https://resellerindex.com/changes/) for the platforms above, from each platform's own page; each note says when that page was checked if it wasn't re-checked for this update.

- **Whatnot.** Since Jul 31, 2026, Whatnot's default label is Ground Advantage: $4.47 under 4 oz, $4.85 under 8 oz, $5.25 under 12 oz, $6.75 under 16 oz, and $7.75 for 1-5 lb at any distance (Whatnot's help page as checked Oct 14, 2026; [tracker entry](https://resellerindex.com/changes/whatnot/2026-07-31-whatnot-ground-advantage-default/)). Over that, Whatnot says “Packages over 5 lbs use zone-based Ground Advantage commercial pricing” ([Whatnot, as checked Oct 14, 2026](https://help.whatnot.com/hc/en-us/articles/46768886074765-USPS-shipping-updates-on-Whatnot-as-of-July-31)), and it warns: “Using Priority Mail or Flat Rate packaging with Ground Advantage labels may result in returned packages and USPS fees of approximately $20 per package”. Buyers usually pay Whatnot shipping.
- **Mercari Media Mail.** Since Oct 19, 2026, Mercari's prepaid Media Mail labels cost $4.47 for 1 lb, $5.22 for 2 lb, $5.97 for 3 lb, against USPS's own $4.39, $5.13, $5.86 ([tracker entry](https://resellerindex.com/changes/mercari/2026-10-19-mercari-media-mail-labels-down/)).
- **eBay Labels** and other label services use their own prices; this page uses USPS's published prices so every platform is compared on the same postage.

## Insurance and signature on a DVD or Blu-ray box set

“Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, and USPS Ground Advantage include $100.00 of insurance coverage” ([DMM 503, Exhibit 1.4.1](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/503.htm)); Media Mail isn't on that list and includes none. Beyond that, “additional insurance may be purchased for no more than a maximum coverage of $5,000.00” ([DMM 503.4.2](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/503.htm)), and “Insurance coverage only covers the actual value of mail contents” ([USPS](https://www.usps.com/ship/insurance-extra-services.htm)). “Insurance fees are based on the item's declared value” ([USPS](https://www.usps.com/ship/insurance-extra-services.htm)). “An item insured for more than $500.00 receives a delivery scan ... and USPS provides a signature as the delivery record to the mailer electronically” ([DMM 503.4.3.1](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/503.htm)). Under that, Signature Confirmation costs $4.15 online or $5.15 at the counter ([Notice 123](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/Notice123.htm)).

*USPS insurance fees for insuring the full sale price, Notice 123 effective Oct 4, 2026 (fee for the coverage amount; $2.80 for up to $50, then by band; $9.05 plus $1.50 per $100 over $600). Registered Mail is a separate service that includes insurance up to $50,000.*

| Declared value | Ground Advantage insurance fee | Media Mail insurance fee | Registered Mail fee | Delivery signature |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| $10 | included (up to $100) | $2.80 | $21.50 | Signature Confirmation, $4.15 online |
| $25 | included (up to $100) | $2.80 | $21.50 | Signature Confirmation, $4.15 online |
| $60 | included (up to $100) | $3.50 | $21.50 | Signature Confirmation, $4.15 online |
| $150 | $4.50 | $4.50 | $25.00 | Signature Confirmation, $4.15 online |

- Insured for more than $500, the buyer “may be required to show an acceptable primary ID before USPS will deliver the mailpiece” ([USPS](https://www.usps.com/ship/insurance-extra-services.htm)).

## Platform rules that apply to DVD and Blu-ray box sets

### Amazon's closing fee on cheap sets

Amazon charges 15% plus “media items incur a closing fee $1.80 per item” ([Amazon](https://sell.amazon.com/pricing)). On a $10 set that's $3.30, about a third of the price; on $60, $10.80. “An item's total price includes its list price, as well as shipping costs and any gift-wrapping charges” ([Amazon pricing page](https://sell.amazon.com/pricing)).

### eBay's media rate

Movies & TV pays 15.3% on eBay, not 13.6%, and the percentage covers buyer-paid shipping: $9.58 on a $60 set with no shipping charged, $10.36 with $5.13 of Media Mail. eBay's rule and more prices: [eBay fees for movies and music](https://resellerindex.com/guides/ebay-fees/movies-and-music/).

### Mercari, Whatnot and TikTok Shop

Mercari takes 10% of item plus shipping, TikTok Shop 6% of item plus shipping, and Whatnot 8% plus processing (Whatnot's fee page as checked Oct 14, 2026). With $5.13 of shipping on a $25 set: Mercari $3.01, TikTok Shop $1.81, Whatnot $3.17.

## Packing a DVD or Blu-ray box set

From USPS's packaging standards ([DMM 601.3](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/601.htm)) and its packing steps ([USPS: How to send a package](https://www.usps.com/ship/packages.htm)):

1. “Mailers must package mailpieces to withstand normal transit and handling without breakage or deterioration of content” ([DMM 601.3.1.1](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/601.htm)). Cases crack at the hinges; a box with cushioning protects them better than a soft mailer.
2. “Package contents so they do not shift within the mailing container” ([DMM 601.3.1.1](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/601.htm)).
3. Several sets in one box: “When multiple items are inside a single mailing container, mailers must cushion items to protect them from each other as well as from external forces” ([DMM 601.3.13](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/601.htm)).
4. Fold-out and slipcase sets: USPS says to “use packaging that doesn't bulge and is strong enough to protect what you're sending” ([USPS](https://www.usps.com/ship/packages.htm)).
5. “Use enough 2-inch-wide packing tape to close and secure all seams” ([USPS](https://www.usps.com/ship/packages.htm)).

## Edge cases

### Collector's editions with a figure or statue

“Only these items may be mailed at the Media Mail prices” ([DMM 173.4.1](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/173.htm)); a statue or figure isn't on the list, and “If you try to include anything that's not allowed, you (or your recipient) will have to pay higher postage rates” ([USPS](https://www.usps.com/ship/mail-shipping-services.htm)). Ship that set by Ground Advantage: 3 lb is $9.04 to $16.30 at commercial prices, against $5.86 by Media Mail.

### A set with a video game disc

“Video games, computer drives, and digital drives do not qualify for Media Mail prices” ([USPS](https://www.usps.com/ship/mail-shipping-services.htm)). A movie set that includes a game disc takes the whole package out of Media Mail; see [how to ship video games](https://resellerindex.com/guides/how-to-ship-video-games/).

### Digital code slips and booklets

Printed inserts are fine: “any printed matter that is mailable as USPS Marketing Mail may be included loose with any qualifying material mailed at the Media Mail or Library Mail prices” ([DMM 173.6.1](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/173.htm)).

### A single DVD

Media Mail's minimum is the 1 lb price ([DMM 173.1.2](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/173.htm)): $4.39. A DVD case is a box, and “Boxes—with or without hinges, gaps, or breaks that allow the piece to bend—are not flats” ([DMM 101.2.3](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/101.htm)), so a large envelope with stamps isn't an option.

## Questions

### Can you ship DVDs and Blu-rays by Media Mail?

Yes: “Video recordings and player piano rolls are classified as sound recordings” ([DMM 173.4.1e](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/173.htm)), and sound recordings are on the Media Mail list ([DMM 173.4.1e](https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/173.htm)). A 2 lb box set costs $5.13.

   From June 29, 2026, each seller-fulfilled SKU's handling time must match how fast you actually ship it. Amazon recommends turning on Automated Handling Time, which comes with late-shipment-rate protection. If a SKU you set by hand is consistently shipped at least one day faster than stated (Amazon monitors over 30 days), it gets flagged and you have 30 days to fix it, or Amazon manages that SKU's handling time itself. Custom, handmade and heavy-and-bulky less-than-truckload shipments are exempt.

Price cuts and de minimis increases are exempt. Market-dominant products include First-Class Mail stamps and Package Services, the class that contains Media Mail.

The Reseller Index

Researched and drafted with AI assistance from each platform's and carrier's own published pages. A full-time reseller runs The Reseller Index and will edit every newsletter issue once the newsletter starts. Every number links to its source and carries the date we checked it. Spot an error? [Tell us](https://resellerindex.com/corrections/) and we'll fix it in the public corrections log.

General information, not tax, legal or financial advice. Not affiliated with or endorsed by eBay, Amazon, Mercari, Poshmark, Depop, Whatnot, Etsy, TikTok Shop, USPS, the IRS or the software companies whose prices we track; their names belong to them.

Each page shows the date its own rates were last checked. Sponsored placements are always labeled "Sponsored".
