I recently made an order and got free shipping but later found out that means media mail. I'm aware this means a possible long transit time. But does anyone know if using media mail sacrifices any "care" that the USPS uses in handling the packages in transit. Am I more likely to get damaged or banged up goods using media mail?

In general, "maybe." By Postal Service standards, Media Mail can sit up to 72 hours in each postal facility that the package transits through. My guess is that the longer a package sits in a bin (possibly underneath a lot of other packages), the more likely the package is going to be damaged.

In some cases, I've gotten Media Mail in as quick as a couple of days with no damage. The worst example is where a package within 20 miles of me took several weeks to arrive and it looked like it was tied to the back of a truck and dragged.

All the Media Mail packages I have gotten were received undamaged...it's just hit and miss with the delivery time. Sometimes as short as three days, sometimes as long as two weeks.

Media mail is the worst. Though I am really cheap and hate paying shipping costs it's almost not worth having them shipped that way. I have gotten dvd's rather quick from a seller on adult dvd marketplace but other than that I have to wait at least a week and a half. Media Mail shipped my package rather nicely (as good as any other) but I got 1st class or priority. (oh and just to let you know that things being shipped media get lost easier)
