I forgot to say something about customers choosing expedited shipping. In this case the cheap packaging may not save you money; it may actually cost a lot more than buying a flat rate Priority Mail box. This really depends on the weight of the book. USPS recommends a flat rate Priority Mail box for packages over 1 lbs.
So if you decide to follow one of the three packaging methods for a book that requires expedited shipping and in the post office find the shipping total is a lot more (roughly 1.5x more) than what Amazon is giving you in shipping credit repackage your book in a priority shipping box. Also, if you're not sure if you will need to buy a Priority Mail box to keep your shipping costs reasonable, bring a roll of tape and a pair of scissors to the post office.
