Actually media mail rates depend on the weight of the item. 2.77 is for an item over 1 pound but no more than 2 pounds. Media mail is for books, film, DVD's, video tape, CD's, etc. It does take longer to get it, but I'm not usually in that much of a rush. Frugality wins out over impatience (usually).
