Media mail is so cheap because it is "when we get around to it" mail.

There is zero urgency assigned to it. In the case of getting it in two
days, they were obviously not very busy, the dull part of the summer, maybe.
Media mail in November and December is a disaster.

Technically magazines are not eligible for media mail rates. But in
any case I think 27 days to go 200 miles sounds like the truck broke
down, lost its brakes, rolled down an embankment, and was lost in the
woods for 24 days. Not a typical case.

Carey,
Not sure but I think there is a difference between "bulk" media rates
and "media" rates.
Just got a book from Western Ohio in 2 days to Central Virginia via
"media rate".
