Shipping CDs Safely

Most, if not all, customers who receive a CD with a cracked jewel case feel a bit slighted. Here at DWM, we go the extra mile and replace jewel case parts as needed. Though we are eager to insure that the end user gets a pristine product, it is nice to receive CDs that are intact. Here are a few tips that might just make the transportation process a little safer for your music.

Within the USA, a basic cardboard box with packing material should be OK.

The least expensive way to send a quantity of CDs is by USPS Media Mail.

Putting more than one (maybe two) CDs in a padded mailer can lead to disaster.

If you are shipping to a country other than your own, cost becomes a factor.

At DWM, we provide jewel cases for imports (as required). This reduces your cost!

For imports, we recommend that each CD be put in a paper or plastic CD envelope. You can also put the CD between the pages of a 4-panel (or larger) cover insert. Then wrap all cover inserts/CDs together with Saran Wrap (or a similar product); but not too tight. This can cause a crease on the insert as it bends over the CD. Plastic bags work well too (as an overall covering). The important thing is to insulate each CD and keep the bundles secure. The tray cards should be wrapped separately. A piece of cardboard with the CDs, in a padded mailer should be fine for this purpose. This is just one idea; you might have a better one. DigiPaks are OK, as is.
