Please use shipping calculator to determine postage cost to your location.  If you live in Italy, please read the section highlighted in red below before bidding.

LPs are shipped in corrugated record mailers. For shipping, records are removed from jackets to prevent seam splits (except factory sealed records), and shipped in vinyl outer sleeves with bubble wrap for added protection.

Multiple wins are combined into one shipment for reduced postage cost. If you win more than one of my auctions within a 7-day period, please wait for an invoice before paying, and you will save on postage. Combined shipping will be actual postage plus a one-time handling fee of $.70 per order.   International orders will be shipped via  US First Class International if under 4 lbs. and Priority Mail International if over 4 lbs.   If you live in Italy, there is an additional charge (about $15 per shipment) on every package  for an upgrade to insured Priority Mail International due to lost shipments and frivolous claims by Italian buyers.  If you live in Italy . your bid constitutes an agreement to pay this $15.00 in addition to the amount shown by the postage calculator.

Please e-mail if you have any questions. Good luck and thanks for bidding.

GRADING STANDARDS (RECORDS)
Mint: Factory sealed, no corner or edge dings, shrinkwrap 100% intact.
NM: The record shows no signs of having ever been played. I almost never use this grade.
EX: Record surfaces are bright and clean but may have a few light paper scuffs or superficial surface marks that do not affect play.
VG+: A well cared-for used record. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have scuffs or light scratches. May have some very light surface noise or isolated crackles and pops.
VG: Record shows visible signs of wear. Plays with some surface noise especially in soft passages. Groove wear may be noticeable, as will some scratches that may cause clicks or pops.
VG-: Lots of scratches and/or background noise.

GRADING STANDARDS (JACKETS)
NM: Near new condition. Virtually no wear to faces, edges or corners.
EX: Some very minor wear to faces, edges and/or corners of covers.
VG+: May have more pronounced ring wear, moderate wear to edges and corners, light creases or stress lines, and other minor defects as noted in the description.
VG: Will have heavier ring wear, and/or worn edges and corners, and/or light soiling or discoloration. Other defects may be present if specified in the description.
VG-: Heavier soiling, damaged edges/corners, other serious defects as noted.

All records are visually graded unless sealed, and play-tested if they look questionable.  As a matter of policy, I don't sell records that skip or repeat, although I am not perfect and may miss a flaw once in a very great while.  If you have a problem with a record, please let me know so we can find a solution.

Jackets do not have seam splits, writing, stamps, stickers or other signs of abuse unless noted in the description. Record labels do not have writing, stamps, stickers and are not otherwise defaced unless noted in the description.
