Would this be okay for books?

I'd think so- you may be able to go with Media Mail for a lower rate, too. I would put a piece of was paper around the books (Or something similar) to keep the cover from rubbing against the box. There wouldn't be much rubbing, but just to be on the safe side....

Thanks for the tip about the paper, never would have thought of it. Be worth the $0.001 to add that piece of paper in if it saves one book! Canada Post doesn't have media mail, at least not that I have been able to find.

I'll have to try one out with Canada Post and see how it goes. And maybe UPS just wants you to buy their boxes lol
