What are you shipping them in? Bubble envelopes I presume. Maybe you can get away with polybags instead.
I ship audio cassettes, in a standard bubble they don't fit the slot, if I crush the bubbles on one side and they fit!
I've shipped hundreds that way and never had a damage report, the crushed bubbles offer a tiny bit of protection still and I put a piece of packing tape on the outside where the edge of the case impacts the envelope, thinking it protects from issues in automatic sorting machines since kraft bubble envelopes will tear pretty easily at that spot. Cassette cases are much more subject to cracking than dvd cases and people don't generally have a lots of replacements lying around (try to buy some these days). dvd cases on the other hand are fairly tough. You would have to test a bit, obviously the ones with slipcases etc. need a bit more protection than standard cases. One thing I can say, Canada Post seems to be able to deliver Lettermail without a blemish of any kind 99% of the time.
Helps if you have sharp fingernails to scrape the bubbles on the inside, if not maybe borrow a cat!
