My Shipping Practices: Records ship outside of their cover encased in a new 3-mil poly bag; ship in a NEW record mailer at 200lb test; cardboard or bubbled inserts used; all record mailer seams taped with non-rip Nylon tape; laser printed shipping and return address labels used with clear-tape-over each label for added adhesiveness; large RED 'FRAGILE' stamped front and back of mailer--overall, a professional packaging job as I would want to receive for the records I purchase....

$4.99 MEDIA RATE (slower...)  /  $8.85 PRIORITY MAIL (much faster..) …..your choice. THIS APPLIES TO ALL U.S. BUYERS only.
 
[ *** International eBayers  PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING ****]
$14.99 SHIPPING cost is via U.S. PRIORITY AIR MAIL--there is NO longer surface mail:  There is NO insurance on the typical airmail; HOWEVER, AND PLEASE CONSIDER, for an added $10 (what it will cost me)  I will use U.S.  Registered mail  . This means YOU must SIGN for delivery-. that is the only way you can receive it--add security and peace of mind. . .
