Have the US Postal Service consider video game software as media mail for shipping purposes. Just like DVD's and CD's

Created by R.C. on March 26, 2014

The USPS provides many shipping options, one of these options is media mail. Product such as DVD's, CD, Book, and magazines can be shipped using this service. The service is much less expensive than Priority mail or Parcel Post. Currently video games are not allowed in the media mail classification. As the technology to distribute a video game and a DVD are basically the same, video games should also be considered media mail. This would help reduce cost for small businesses that sale and ship these products and help reduce the cost of the products to the consumer.
