Packaging
      &
Shipping

Details:

• I add a small Packaging/Handling fee, because I use special order protective LP boxes, LP size cardboard inserts, protective LP poly bags, and lots of tape and labels to ensure safe shipping.
• I usually ship the Saturday after payment is received, as I work full time, so if you have concerns about shipping speed please contact me so that I can coordinate with you.

International Orders:

 *I Welcome International Bidders!*

PLEASE NOTE: As of May, 2007 the US Postal Service no longer allows economy surface mail.  Also, no items shipped via First Class International Airmail can be insured. Therefore all insured items shipped to non-USA addresses must be sent via International Priority Airmail which is expensive. Please take note of this fact and ask any questions before bidding.

Insurance:

Insurance rates for USA are:
(0.00 - $50.00)    = $1.65 / ( $50.01 - $100) = $2.05
($100.01 - $200) = $2.45 / ($200.01 - $300) = $4.60
($300.01 - $400) = $5.50 / ($400.01 - $500) = $6.40
($500.01 - $600) = $7.30 / ($600.01 - $700) = $8.20

Insurance rates for International/Rest of the World:

If you want insurance, the package must be sent Priority Mail.  Contact me for rates.  They can be expensive.

PLEASE communicate if you are not satisfied.  I will accept returns if there is a good reason.  Please buy insurance if you are concerned about damage in shipping.

Our Vinyl GRADING SCALE:

Here's a guideline for how I grade records. Not all records will fit "exactly" into a certain grade, and one should assume a certain amount of tolerances within each grade. 

Assume grading to be "visual" unless noted.  I grade under a powerful 100 watt bulb.

+/-:  I use pluses and minuses to help indicate more or less issues in a certain grade.

Grades for vinyl :

M : new, un-played, perfect.

NM: like new but possibly carefully played a limited amount of times. Should play near perfect with almost no noise or imperfections. May show very faint imperfections from paper scuffs or tiny needle marks.

EX : as above with a few light needle marks, or a few  light surface scuffs, and/or lightly audible marks. a very nice used record.

VG : still showing gloss but lots of small scratches and scuffs or some groove wear. A used/played record that should still play through without skips, but will have light surface noise throughout, pops, ticks, and maybe some distortion/sibilance. I do not consider VG to be a complete junk grade but it is not audiophile quality by any means.

VG- to G : any record in less than VG condition that I feel is still worth offering due to rarity, but it may have play problems.

Grades for covers:

M : perfect. no wear, square flat corners, solid seams, spine etc., Usually sealed.

NM : overall appearance of front and back near perfect but may have a very small problem such as a small corner ding/couple tiny spine chips, but nothing noticeable without close inspection.

EX : as above, nice "un-handled" feel, but may have more spine wear, a bent corner or two, very light ring wear, but rarely any splits or tears.

VG: still have a nice overall appearance, but may have the following defects: seam splits, spine splits, small tears, ring wear, writing, small stains, etc. in various (not severe) degrees. 

VG- to G : getting ugly, but still worth offering due to rarity or LP contained within.
