Pathfinder shipping package- will it fit in my mailbox?

[Ragadolf]

I was reading some posts about mangled Dragon magazines and started wondering,...
I just moved into an apartment with very small mailboxes. My Dragons haven't been having any trouble so far, (knock on wood) but since Pathfinder is very thick for a magazine, (should I be calling it a soft-cover book?) I am now concerned about well-meaning postal employees shoving the equivilant of a softcover player's manual into my mailbox.

Is this a concern that you, the manufacturer & shipper, have already addressed (in another post), or have I officially crossed the line into worrying too much?!?

Sorry if this post belongs under Pathfinder directly, I just figured this was a logical place to start.

Thanks guys!

Because Pathfinder is a book, not a magazine, it won't be sent via Periodicals rate. It should thus arrive much more reliably (not to mention faster).

I am hoping that "much more reliably" means that I won't be getting that crease down the middle like all my Dungeon magazines have. (?)

Hopefully that won't be a problem; I believe Pathfinders will ship in heavy envelopes or even boxes. But if the mailman's violent or angry enough... we can't do much about that. I still remember the story of the guy who I sent a copy of "Serpent Kingdoms" to (hardcover FR book) and he got it bent in half so it would fit into a mailbox...

Yep—if you selected a USPS shipping method, it will be in a sturdy cardboard mailer. If you selected UPS, I believe it will be in a box.
