"Media Mail"cheap but faulty system?


I try to offer the most economical way to ship music materials like cds, lps via media mail but because of the very slow delivery, buyers get too frustrated and puts the blame on the seller .
do you have similar experiences from audiogon buyers?

the difference in price with Media Mail vs Priority is so miniscule, id never offer it. media mail also take extra long and has more handlers who can do damages.
I don't have a problem with seller using media mail as long as it's up front and I am not being charged for first class mail. I get pissed when I pay $4 for shiping and it arrives 2 weeks later via media mail and the postage on it is only $1.
I couldn't agree more with "Just Listen". In operation, Media Mail is a relatively expensive, inefficient, and non-productive service alternative. I have had experiences where packages have taken 7 or 8 weeks to arrive. Given the choice, I will never use "media rate".
