Thanks for your response! If the document cannot be emailed, I would need the document mailed. Am I understanding correctly that the cost of printed records is $3, and I would need to pay an additional $10 to have the document mailed? Or is the $10 fee for shipping and handling only applicable to records production in CD format?

From: Lowndes County Sheriff's Office

The cost of the documents is $3.00. We can put it in U.S. Postal and mail the documents (in a envelope) for an additional $2.50. If we mail the CD, the cost is $10.00. The total for paper copies mailed will be $5.50. Once payment is received, your documents will mail within 24 hours on weekdays.

From: Blake Feldman

To Whom It May Concern:

Please find enclosed a check for $5.50 to satisfy the fee associated with the attached public records request.

Thank you.
