How to pack vhs tapes for shipping
VHS tapes are heavier than they look (6-8 oz each with case). A lot of 5 can hit 2.5 lbs, pushing you out of First Class range. Budget for Priority Mail on lots.
VHS tapes qualify for USPS Media Mail rates, which can save $3-5 on lots vs. Priority Mail.
Wrap each tape individually in bubble wrap or paper — clamshell cases crack easily at the hinges when tapes bang together.
Fill void space aggressively. VHS tapes are dense and will shift to one end of an oversized box during transit, concentrating impact force.
