POSTAGE AND PACKAGING RATES FOR LPs:

UK  (ADD £1 TO THE PRICES BELOW IF YOU LIVE IN A REMOTE AREA, E.G. HIGHLANDS)

£3.50 for 1 or 2 LPs
£4.50 for 3 or 4 LPs
£5.00 for 5 to 8 LPs
£6.00 for 9 or 10 LPs
£7.00 for 11 to 15 LPs
£8.00 for 16 to 20 LPs
£9.00 for 21 to 24 LPs
£10.00 for 25 or more LPs

Double LPs can be counted as one LP when using the above guide.  This will save you money if there are one or two double LPs in your bundle.  If buying several double LPs you will therefore save a considerable amount!

If purchasing box sets please count the discs contained in the set and use the above guide but add on the equivalent to one extra LP for the box.  For example, a 4LP box set would cost the same as 5 singular LPs or a 10LP box set would cost the same as 11 singular LPs using the above guide.

If purchasing 45rpm singles/EPs as well as LPs please add £1 to the cost of the parcel for any number of 45s/EPs.

I generally use Royal Mail for small numbers of LPs and an inexpensive but reliable courier for the larger numbers.

I will always send parcels of high value by registered/insured delivery but will cover the cost myself.  If you spend a relatively low amount (e.g. under £45) but would prefer me to send your parcel by registered post, please tell me and I will invoice you accordingly (it will be £1 on top of the rates above).

EUROPE AND RUSSIAN FEDERATION

£5.75 for 1 LP
£7.00 for 2 LPs

£12.00 for 5 LPs
£14.00 for 6 LPs
£20.00 for 7 to 14 LPs
£25.00 for 15 or more LPs

I normally send parcels of upto 6 LPs by Royal Mail and higher amounts by Courier.  The above rates are for countries like Spain, France, Germany and so on.  Some countries that are classed in the same price band by Royal Mail (like Reunion, Russia, Poland etc) may cost a little more than the rates above when sent by courier so if you live in Eastern Europe or a more remote area it may be best to contact me if you want to buy more than 6 LPs just to double check.

The above rates are for lower value parcels.  For parcels of above £50 in value you will need to add £5 to the amounts given above.

European bidders will need to class Double LPs as two LPs when referring to the above guide.  Box sets are charged by the number of discs plus one for the box (e.g. a 5LP set will count as 6 LPs in the above guide and so on).

I normally send parcels of upto 6 LPs by Royal Mail and higher amounts by Courier.  The above rates are for countries like USA, Canada, Japan and so on.  Some countries that are classed in the same price band by Royal Mail (like New Zealand, Australia etc) may cost a little more than the rates above when sent by courier so if you live in these places or a more remote area it may be best to contact me if you want to buy more than 6 LPs just to double check.

The above rates are for lower value parcels.  For parcels of above £50 in value you will need to add £5 to the amounts given above.
