SHIPPING: PLEASE NOTE $6 SHIPPING AND CONSIDERATE HANDLING within U.S. VIA MEDIA MAIL, INCLUDES TRACKING AND PACKAGING COST. Records over $100 will normally be upgradeded Priority Mail at no extra charge. Priority mail is always an option at Buyer request, usually under $12. I pack the 78 to float safely in in a sleeve between two slats of cardboard, surrounded by bubble wrap and/or peanuts/newspaper, floating in a roughly 12x12x6 box. Firm but not to the point of fearing for the record's well being. I don't tape the edges of records. I reuse boxes and packing materials but will use new materials at buyer request. Will be shipped via Media Mail, with tracking #, buyer pays insurance for purchases over $35, insurance is at buyer request below that amount.
