The Priority Mail boxes are free. The others are not. If you pack it and weigh it yourself, the website will tell you how much postage you need. It's ok to use a bunch of the 44-cent stamps if you have them.

Also, packages 12 ounces and under that have stamps can be dropped in the mailbox. If it's 13 ounces or over, you need to take it inside or use electronic postage.
Yeah, I'm a postage nerd.

Priority mail boxes are not free.
Ahem. I am a very common shipper.
To fit some DVD's you -Could- you use the flat rate priority boxes, however, they are 5 dollars. And you can only fit like 2-3 dvds.
Or you can fit them in a large padded envelop, fit like 5-7 dvd's and that's like 2.70$ Plus weight.
Or, you can get a slightly larger box than the priority and it's 2.60$ plus weight, which can fit like 3-4 DVD's
etc.
Just go in the USPS office, and look around. The boxes/packages/Prices will be along one of the walls.
and you can "Try" before you by. So bring the DVD's and see what fits in what.

Don't buy the box form the post office because they'll overcharge you. Priority mail is also more expensive and doesn't get there any faster in my experience. I'd just get packaging materials from the store and send it parcel post.
