Further Information

The records I am selling all form part of my late father's extensive collection and the item photographed is the one which will be sent to the winning bidder. I always take lots more photos than I list, particularly of the vinyl, so feel free to contact me to request more pictures. I often also burn a copy direct from the vinyl for my own collection and so may well be able to send an MP3 file if required.

Payment
Payment must be made within seven days of the end of the auction unless agreed and I am always happy to hold items for multi-buyers and combine postage. UK bidders are welcome to pay by PayPal, personal cheque or postal order. Overseas bidders must pay by PayPal only. Non-EEC International Bidders please note you may be liable to local import duty.

Returns

I want you to be happy with your record and I try my best to be honest and accurate with my descriptions so all records are described in accordance with Record Collector’s Grading system as follows:

MINT – sealed or unplayed

NEAR MINT – in brand new condition with no marks or deterioration in sound quality

EXCELLENT – shows some signs of having been played with slight wear

VERY GOOD – sleeve may have wear and tear and the vinyl may have noticeable marks 

                           or light scratches but no major deterioration

However if you are not satisfied that the record is in the condition described, I will happily take it back and refund the cost of the item upon return in exactly the same condition as it was shipped.

Postage Costs

I've provided a number of postal options and always try to offer the quickest, safest and cost effective shipping methods, but if you want me to use another service such as second class postage in the UK, please let me know and I will include this on your final invoice.

I am happy to combine postage wins over multiple auctions and can ship up to 10kg (approx 25 single albums) within the UK for £21.00 via special delivery next day, which provides priority handling, tracking and insurance up to £500, or alternatively for £14.00 via Parcelforce 48 which takes 2 days and is tracked and insured up to £150.00. Please let me know when you have finished bidding and I will send you an invoice combining postage - or PayPal will automatically add all the postage charges together!
International Buyers please note that postage quoted is via International Signed For which provides tracking and priority handling by Royal Mail. International Signed For only adds £3.50 to each parcel so if you are multi-buying it becomes more cost effective and Airsure, which is available to certain worldwide destinations and includes insurance up to £500.00, adds only £4.50 per parcel. For international multibuyers who purchase more than 5 single albums (ie weight over 2kg) it may be necessary to dispatch in more than one parcel or alternatively I can offer shipping by Parcel Force.

I dispatch airmail (small packets) for destinations in Republic of Ireland only.

Dispatch

All albums are dispatched in strong cardboard boxes – not mailers or jiffys – to ensure that they reach you in optimum condition and I endeavour to post items within one working day of receiving payment – I pride myself on my quick shipping and wherever possible dispatch on the same day payment is received. Occasionally I am let down by the Royal Mail however expected delivery times following posting should be as follows:

First Class / Special Delivery – one working day

Second Class – three working days

Airmail (Western Europe) – three working days

Airmail (Eastern Europe) – four working days

Airmail (Rest of the World) – five working days

Postal Insurance and Compensation

Most Royal Mail services have a maximum compensation level of £34 however if your successful winning bid is more than £34 (excluding postage costs), I recommend you opt for a service which offers increased compensation.

In the UK I recommend Special Delivery Next Day, which is insured up to £500, and costs an extra £2.50 for a single album (again this becomes more cost effective up to 2kg approx 5 single albums). Overseas buyers can pay an additional £2.00 for insurance up to £500.

If you opt for a service that offers less compensation than you have paid for your item and it goes missing or gets damaged, it will be your loss!

I always obtain retain proof of postage so in the event of an item being lost or damaged, I will make the appropriate claim for compensation, and will reimburse you if the claim is successful. If the item is damaged, you may have to return it to me, which you will have to do at your own expense, so that I can make the claim and reimburse you if the claim is successful.
