I generally end auctions between 7-8PM. Any invoice paid that evening is guaranteed to ship the following morning. I do not drop it in a box, I wait to see a clerk to insure tracking is activated. Please understand the Post Office is not what it was, there are times tracking is not faithfully updated, especially with Media Mail. If it doesn't get to you in a timely fashion, it's not because I'm sitting on it. If you would rather use Fedex, send me a note, and I will quote the price to you. I only charge what the Ebay table says, no additional charge for shipping/packing. As far as shipping, it costs me $1.75 for a box, $4 for 2 Lb Media Mail package, and if your weren't aware, with the new Ebay managed payments, they now charge their commission rate on the price + shipping, and, get this - your State sales tax! Yes, they charge me for their right to collect your State sale tax. Windup is the minimum cost for me to put an album out the door is $6. I have a ton of records I could sell for under $10, it's just not worth the time & effort.
All my listings have a no quibble satisfaction guarantee - if you are not 100% satisfied, contact me & we'll make it right. I mean that. I do not accept unsatisfied customers. If you're unhappy with the shipping, unhappy with the record, send me a note - I'm very good at responding quickly.
Bulk shipping: Additional vinyl past first - $1. My listings are set to calculate that automatically, but sometimes Ebay doesn't pick up on that. Not a problem - send me a note, I will promptly send out a proper invoice.
