PACKAGING –
All records will be carefully packaged with the vinyl removed from outer sleeves, placed within a plastic outer sleeve, and safely secured within two sturdy pieces of cardboard to prevent movement during shipping.
PAYMENT –
Payments can be made through PayPal, and must be received within 7 days of auction closing.
Items will be shipped within a week of payment receipt, as time and travel constraints prevent me from making more than one trip to the post office per week; please bear this in mind when leaving detailed feedback.
Each winning buyer will receive a confirmation e-mail once the album has been mailed, with no exception. Proof of mailing is obtained for every package sent.
GRADING –
I always use both visual and play grades in my description, based strictly on the Record Collector Standards (although no grade higher than EX+ will ever be employed).
Most records will be carefully play-graded, from start to finish; otherwise, I will specifically state that the item has been spot-checked. I am constantly striving to deliver items in much better condition than can be expected from the description and letter grade.
REFUND –
Refunds are available for ‘significantly not-as-described’ items only; differences between plus and minus in the overall grading will not constitute major errors.
As there is no way to accurately grade the contents of sealed LPs, no refunds will be offered, under any circumstance, for these items.
If you are unhappy with your purchase, please contact me immediately and we will come to a satisfactory arrangement.
Shipping costs, without exception, are non-refundable, including shipping costs the buyer may incur during the refund process.
This seller is not responsible for items damaged or lost in the post (without exception), and no refunds of any kind will be issued in either instance.
FEEDBACK – I will leave positive feedback for all successful transactions once I am confident that the buyer is happy with their purchase.
AS ALWAYS, FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS.
