no.....

3.2 Qualified Items

Only these items may be mailed at the Media Mail prices:

a. Books, including books issued to supplement other books, of at least eight printed pages, consisting wholly of reading matter or scholarly bibliography, or reading matter with incidental blank spaces for notations and containing no advertising matter other than incidental announcements of books. Advertising includes paid advertising and the publishers' own advertising in display, classified, or editorial style.

b. 16-millimeter or narrower width films, which must be positive prints in final form for viewing, and catalogs of such films of 24 pages or more (at least 22 of which are printed). Films and film catalogs sent to or from commercial theaters do not qualify for the Media Mail price.

c. Printed music, whether in bound or sheet form.

d. Printed objective test materials and their accessories used by or on behalf of educational institutions to test ability, aptitude, achievement, interests, and other mental and personal qualities with or without answers, test scores, or identifying information recorded thereon in writing or by mark.

e. Sound recordings, including incidental announcements of recordings and guides or scripts prepared solely for use with such recordings. Video recordings and player piano rolls are classified as sound recordings.

f. Playscripts and manuscripts for books, periodicals, and music.

g. Printed educational reference charts designed to instruct or train individuals for improving or developing their capabilities. Each chart must be a single printed sheet of information designed for educational reference. The information on the chart, which may be printed on one or both sides of the sheet, must be conveyed primarily by graphs, diagrams, tables, or other nonnarrative matter. An educational reference chart is normally but not necessarily devoted to one subject. A chart on which the information is conveyed primarily by textual matter in a narrative form does not qualify as a printed educational reference chart for mailing at the Media Mail prices even if it includes graphs, diagrams, or tables. Examples of qualifying charts include maps produced primarily for educational reference, tables of mathematical or scientific equations, noun declensions or verb conjugations used in the study of languages, periodic table of elements, botanical or zoological tables, and other tables used in the study of science.

h. Loose-leaf pages and their binders consisting of medical information for distribution to doctors, hospitals, medical schools, and medical students.

i. Computer-readable media containing prerecorded information and guides or scripts prepared solely for use with such media.

I would like to add, since Ive been told a million times before from this shipping place I use that if they feel necessary them can and will open the package to make sure it is something that can be shipped media mail.

media mail tends to be so slow too...
1st class and priority mail aren't expensive

Its okay to ships with Media Mail to any home address but DO NOT ship to PO. I got a letter from Louisiana, stating that the battery is not eligible and they had to open up the Wii Fit package for inspection. Now I learn my lesson not to ship with Media Mail to any PO Address. Shipping to home address did went through with no problem.

basically NO and if you get caught they will upgrade to priority mail and the customer will get a postage due, which would piss me off.Open a Fed EX or UPS account and ship them through them ground, runs 10-15 insured and trackable

and Pinoy, you asked me and I told you it was a NONO!

The max weight for 1st class is 13ounces, the fit weighs 11 lbs. And if you are shipping these, you should require a signature because if someone does a chargeback on their credit card stating non delivery you will be out that money regardless of what the delivery confirmation number says

Yeah why would you want to abuse the system, it does not matter about an actual address compared to a PO, Don't lie, simple as that. < I am Referring to Pinoy, not JW.
