Regarding the USPS Postal service:

Since it costs so much to send heavy items via USPS "Priority Mail", is it legal to send by "Media Mail"? I know "Parcel Post" is legal, but I do NOT think "Bounded Printed Matter" is. Here's an example of the drastic cost difference between the three for a 20-lb package:
36.40 by Priority Mail (3 days)
26.12 by Parcel Post (3-6 weeks)
7.84 by Media Mail (3-6 weeks)

I have a feeling it's not legal, but just want to be sure.
