My LPs ship in oversized boxes to ensure they are not damaged during shipment.  Shipping costs cover the price of the larger boxes and insurance.  Please note, this is a 5 LP set, featuring heavy 180g vinyl, and additional items.  It is heavy, and it will be insured for its full value to protect you (the buyer) and me (the seller).  
Questions welcomed.  Also, I have taken additional photos of this item, which can be shared upon request via eBay's messenger system.

PERSONAL NOTE: I am a collector of art and music, and I have taken great care to preserve/protect the item(s) in this listing.  I am loathe to part with pieces from my collection, but I am downsizing to fund graduate school.  This is looking for a new home!
I handle and package my items with exceptional care.
FORMAT: Vinyl Record
CONDITION: Brand New / Never Played  Item was not factory sealed (so it could be autographed and numbered) This was only opened up twice. Once to place the LPs in Mobile Fidelity sleeves and a second time to take the photos for the listing.
This set is in exquisite condition.  The only damage I have noticed is related to the individual LP inner color sleeves.  The vinyl was shipped within their individual color sleeves, and due to the weight of the vinyl and handling during shipping, the inner color sleeves have small seam splits on the bottom.  I have taken a close up photo of this (see picture #10). The inner sleeves are purple and in the left side of the photo, the heavy jackets are multi-colored and on the right side of the photo.  
To prevent any additional or new damage, I will ship the 5 clear LPs (vinyl records) in Mobile Fidelity sleeves that are placed physically outside of their individual LP jackets.    
PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES: This is the actual item you will receive, and the pictures were taken immediately before the item was listed.

If you have any questions or concerns, please ask questions before ordering. 
COMMON SHIPPING QUESTIONS: "What are VAT/Value Added Taxes, Import Fees, Import Duties and who pays for them?" Every country has their own policies regarding importing items from foreign countries.  Many countries have VAT or import duties, which are monies that are to be paid by the importer (buyer).  These fees are determined by conditions such as the kind of item being imported (is it food, art, merchandise, etc.) and/or the fees are determined by the value of the item.  An item that is $20.00 will have a smaller VAT/fee than an item that is $300.00.  Any and all import fees are the responsibility of the buyer/importer.  Every country's policies are unique, so if you are uncertain regarding your country's import fee structure, please contact your nation's postal/import provider.  
"When will my order ship?" Items ship Monday through Saturday in the late morning, therefore your order will ship within 12-36 hours of receiving your payment.   (We do not ship on Sundays, and it is possible that severe winter weather may delay a shipment.  If there is a delay, I will promptly contact you.)
"How long will it take for the item to be delivered by the carrier?" Normal United States Post Office (USPS) delivery rates apply.  If you are logged into your eBay account, an approximate delivery date range should be automatically displayed. 
If you have questions, need an item expedited, or do not understand the different between shipping schedules, please visit the USPS website.  The USPS website has the most up-to-date estimates and information regarding their different delivery services.
I offer expedited shipping, and you can select that option and pay the additional shipping costs if you so choose.
"How do you package your items?" I am a buyer and seller on eBay.  I used to own an independent business.  I take this process seriously.
I package your items the same way I hope my orders are packaged, with great care and with great effort to avoid any kind of possible damage.
I buy new and reuse boxes, bags, tape, bubblewrap, foam peanuts, air pockets, craft paper, foam sheets or whatever is necessary to ensure that your item arrives undamaged and in a timely fashion.
All orders have tracking numbers.
My shipping costs include the money spent to ensure your item arrives safely.  
Please see my seller feedback, as I make profound efforts to make sure you get your item in a timely fashion and in the condition as seen within my listing.
"What are some examples of how you package items?" If you order a vinyl album, it will be tightly secured and ship in an oversized box to protect the corners from damage. If you order a compact disc it will ship in a bubble mailer and have oversized sheets of cardboard protecting the faces of the case.  If you order a large sized print/artwork, it will ship in a mailing tube that is surrounded in packaging materials and placed within a larger box to ensure it is not crushed during shipment.
"Do you combine shipping costs?" I will always combine shipments whenever possible because it reduces both of our costs, my time, and the use of materials.  If you order multiple Buy It Now items that have shipping costs, I will package your orders together, pay for the needed shipping costs, and refund the unused shipping costs before shipping your item.
