10" 78 RPM RECORDS NEED CAREFULLY PACKING, PACKED BETWEEN 1" THICK POLYSTYRENE SLABS, WRAPPED IN BUBBLE WRAP WITH CARDBOARD STIFFENERS WHICH IS THEN BOXED, THIS IS A FRAGILE 78 AND REQUIRES STRONG PACKAGING TO ENSURE SAFE DELIVERY.
USUALLY FOR MAILING OVERSEAS, I RECOMMEND NO MORE THAN 5 IN A BOX, OTHERWISE IT GOES OVER THE AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 2Kgs WHICH CAUSES A LARGE HIKE IN POSTAL RATES.
IF A RECORD ARRIVES CRACKED OR BROKEN DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS I WILL REFUND THE MONEY IN FULL. - JUST SEND ME A QUICK SCAN - IF IT IS A VERY RARE RECORD I WILL ASK YOU TO SEND IT BACK OTHERWISE IT WILL BE YOURS TO KEEP OR DISPOSE OF.
