    Ever wanted to post a disc to someone, but found you have no jiffy bags? Or the post office is closed so you can't get your parcel weighed?

    Here's the answer (what I do anyway):
    Read my post on "what to do with coaster below"

    Then refer to this:

    You can send:

    Up to 3 Discs with a 1st class stamp (28p)
    Up to 3 Discs with a 2nd class stamp (20p)

    Up to 4 Discs with a 1st class stamp (42p)
    Up to 4 Discs with a 2nd class stamp (34p)

    All you have to do is put your discs in a disc sleeve

    (you can buy clear plastic one's from www.SVP.co.uk for next to nothing). They also sell Paper CD Sleeves:

    Then fold a piece of A4 paper around them. Finally writing the address on it somewhere. (personally I print the address on the paper, I use a custom made template in word because it might take a few attempts to get it set out correctly).

    Good luck.
    Just remember to post them!

    * Get a good stock of stamps in!
    * Find a post box on your daily route to school / work.
    * If you need to send more than the above number of discs (6 for example). Just stick 2 stamps on instead of the one. Or print out another address sheet because by this time your envelope will start to look more like a parcel.

    How to use coasters & as Disc protection in the post:

    If your like me, you will have 100's of these.

    I have stuck them to the headboard on my bed (will take a picture sometime). Also on the front of my disco (they do actually look really good and refelct the light).

    But mostly I use them for protecting other CD's and DVDs when I send them through the post. Just put a coaster at either side of the disc. Then fold your piece of pater around it (useful if you put it in a square CD sleve). Then write the address on, stick a stamp on it. Post it! .

    Job Done!
