PACKAGING
SHIPPING COST & PACKAGING
I try to PACKAGE AT COST!!! My donation to you is my time at no cost.
I try to post your package within 24 to 48 hours of payment!
Don"t FREAK-OUT when you open your package! I use unsellable record jackets as cardboard protect. Some people think I sent the wrong record for a moment!
DOMESTIC SHIPPING was running $4.32 media mail(went up a little?), 2nd record is free, .25cents each for additional.
My PREFERRED shipping container is the new white pizza, plenty of room for padding and does not get hot in the sun!
INTERNATIONALLY buyers can save $2 or $3 dollars, if they wish me to remove the protective cardboard. In the pizza box the bubble wrap serves as pretty good protection.
On bulk RECORD SALES I will give you the weight of the records, weight of box and packing still has to be added!
BULK SALES or FOREIGN SHIPMENTS will have to wait till I have them packaged up for a proper weight. Then I will send you a invoice.
You can check cost at the USPS Calculator site <http://postcalc.usps.gov/default.aspx>
