Temporary US Media Mail workaround

Sorry gang, our webstore is temporarily unable to calculate US Media Mail rates, due to last weekend’s server update by the US Postal Service. While we fix it, if you want the less expensive Media Mail shipping (US customers only):

  1. Choose “Priority Mail” instead.
  2. In the “COMMENTS” box , type “Media Mail”.
  3. Once we ship your order, we’ll refund the difference back to your original form of payment.

This doesn’t affect International customers, or those who actually do prefer Priority Mail. We hope to have the glitch fixed shortly. Thanks for your patience!
