Here are the steps and tactics we use for mailing Linux CDs to you @ FLCD. Almost all the pictures contain a CD to help you to understand the proportions.
- Take a big envelope, I don`t know the exact size of it but it is a little bit bigger than a Letter size paper.
- Cut the envelope in two @ the middle of the long corner. (Fold the envelope along the long border in half to get an exact cut line.)
- A CD sleeve is excellent but if you cannot find one (or in our case, a lot!) u can use a paper to wrap around the CD.
- Put the CD in the sleeve.
- Close the envelope (both edges!) and scotch it. (In the picture on side is self adhesive)
- Put the destination address, return address, stamp (WE NEED STAMPS! PLEASE CONTRIBUTE!
) and mail it!
The reason we use a biggy envelope and cut in half is that first of all it is cheaper, (one envelope -> two envelopes) and when you split it in half you have two 37 cent delivery (at the time of this writing) envelopes (that means it`s is cheaper :P).
If you decide one day to be a delivery guy for FLCD, please don`t forget to get your office supplies from where you work for free if you can *evil grin*
