Leon,

Respectfully, you are both wrong... and right! Even though it shouldn't, it DOES vary from PO to PO as to the interpretation of what does and doesn't qualify. I've had it even within the SAME PO, depending on who was working.

I know I've seen a discussion as to what actually qualifies as media mail somewhere, and old magazines/newspapers should (since the ads are obsolete), but it does seem to be up to the whim of some postal workers.

And the PO worker is someone I won't argue (much) with even though I know they might be wrong, since I DO want the package to arrive.
