I'm just sent out my 1st request and it cost almost 9$! I feel like I'm doing something wrong and it shouldnt cost that much or anything at all. Is there a way to ship for free?? I printed out the wrapper and wrapped it, took it to a ups store to ship. What should I do next time?

I used USPS and it cost $3.92 for media mail up to a pound. Don't use UPS. There is no way to ship for free.

I second what Schylar said - USPS media mail is the way to go.
