[BlindTlk] question about shipping items

[Judy Jones]

Hi,

Items meant for blind or low-vision will ship Free Matter.  Some companies
do this when sending out their sold items for blind and low vision.  Others
do not, as they prefer faster shipping methods.

You can find Free Matter information on the USPS site.

 I have shipped many things free matter. As far as I know, braille paper
would go free matter, but the eraser wouldn't. List, please set me straight
if this is off.

 Hi all,
Hi all,
I know this is a bit off-topic and I'm sorry for this but I wasn't sure
where else to ask so I'm hoping that I won't get in trouble for asking this
since all of you are either blind or have low vision. This is something that
I've wondered about for awhile and since I might be shipping a few things
and my parents were worried about the cost since the lady lives in
Pennsylvania I got to wondering about this again. Before anyone asks, I'd be
shipping braille papper, a braille eraser, a pad to go under a brailler and
a little stand or shelf to make it easier to read the papper that's in the
brailler. I don't have a brailler and don't want or have any plans of
getting one and so when she posted looking for braille papper and an eraser
I figured I'd send them to her. Now for my question, do any of you have any
experience shipping anything as "free matter for the blind."? If so then
what do I need to know about doing it? Look forward to any help anyone can
provide me!!!!!! Thanks Madison
