SHIPPING RATES:
- Use the shipping calculator, located on this page in the "Shipping & Handling" section, to get a quote for your location.
- Shipping rates are per current USPS rates, with $1 added for materials and handling.
- Shipping charges are consolidated for multiple items won (save on shipping!).
- I will not refund lost or damaged packages that are uninsured.
- Vinyl Records are shipped in professional LP mailers, with albums removed from their covers to avoid split seams (unless they are sold as "sealed", or they come in a generic sleeve). Shellac/78rpm records are shipped padded in several layers of cardboard, in a box meticulously padded with styrofoam peanuts.
- IF YOU REQUEST I will add a 12" square of cardboard to LP packages for added protection against warping, jostling, and cover damage. I do not do this as a habit because it adds weight and thus cost to shipping, and 95% of the time, records arrive in perfect shape without this precaution. However, for very rare or expensive records, I recommend it. You must request this before making your payment, as it adds to the package weight and thus adds to the shipping cost.
- I tape each open edge of the package.
- I write "Fragile", "Do Not Bend", and "Keep Away From Heat" on the package in red marker.
- If you receive a record that you feel is mis-graded, you can send it back for a refund, but I DO NOT REFUND SHIPPING COSTS.
- For LP's I use the criteria and grades specified by the The Record Collector's Guild. Click here for a guide. For 78's I use the system my Father used for 42 years (N, N-, E+, E, E-, V+, V, V-)
- I grade each record by eye under bright light, and by ear when there are any visible defects. For especially rare or desirable items, feel free to request that I give it a detailed listen, or post additional photos -- please use your common sense, don't waste my time having me do this with $5 records. Such behavior will put you on my banned bidder list. I expect these requests to come from reasonably knowledgeable collectors for appropriately desirable records (eg $15+ value records).
- My family has been in the 78rpm (read: extremely fragile & rare) record business for over 41 years. Ask me for more info if you're a 78 nut!
- I have worked in the family business for 20 years. I have also been running a vinyl record label for about 10 years.
