When Media Mail Cannot Be Used (Journal + Ornament/Other Non-Book Items)

Media Mail only applies if the package contains books only.

  • Journals qualify
  • Multiple journals qualify

How I handle mixed orders:
I review the order manually and select the most cost-effective alternative (UPS Ground or USPS Ground Advantage).
Then I send a quick message and one-click invoice via Shopify or Venmo.
Once paid, the order ships immediately.
