Any suggestions on how to mail a video box set when temperatures are over 100 to keep videos from melting?

They won't melt

It gets a lot hotter inside your VCR when you play them ...

They dont literally 'melt', but they warp.

boxes are a very good insulator just as in a home well insultated it will keep you home cool when it hot and warmer when it cold

If you still have doubts or fears Insure insure insure and offer it free to the buyer
after all they are your doubts and will make them feel you care.

I have sold many CDs tapes vidios and records never a they melted complaint.
worst complaint I have had in this selling is that a clip that locks the jewel case the CD goes in wasnt working on a 13 yaer old used cd I sold.

Never had any problems with videos sent or received. Had a pretty good heat wave here in SoCal last month. We even have some of our own videos stored in the garage rafters, where it gets to at least 130 degrees... no problems.

Short of packing them with dry ice, I don't know what you could do!

I'm in Texas and videos melt all the time here. All the video stores have warnings about not leaving them in the car. It just seems that in mailing one it would be in a hot truck for a while and might pose the same danger. Has no one else ever heard of this?

The video stores have those warnings here also, and probably everywhere else, including Alaska! I agree with dman3, keep out of direct sun.

What do you think video suppliers and sellers like Amazon, etc. do in the summer? They keep right on shipping!
