AGGHHH!!! What do I do? I just sold a book on Amazon....

[krazzymommy]

I put it on there kind of as an experiment, didn't think it would sell! So, how do I actually go about packaging and sending it? Amazon said to mail it Standard shipping - this is NOT media mail, correct?

Can you guys give me some packing suggestions!

Media mail and standard shipping are the same thing. We ship thousands of books a year, so you can count on me to be correct.

I would wrap the book in bubble wrap and mail it in a padded envelope. I would also get delivery confirmation.

If the book is an expensive one -- $50 or more -- I would ship it priority mail despite the customer having paid only for media mail.

When you list a book you can elect to offer a choice of standard (media) mail or priority mail, for future reference.

We have 45,000 books listed on Amazon. DH is taking a nap, but if you have any other questions you can PM me and he'll help you when he wakes up.
