DOMESTIC U.S. BUYERS

PAYMENT - U.S. buyers to pay by PAYPAL.

FREE MEDIA MAIL SHIPPING IN US - Media Mail shipping is free for U.S. Buyers. Delivery time for Media Mail is usually pretty prompt but occasionally it can take several weeks to reach the west coast. In late-November and December Media Mail can be very slow because it is treated as 4th class mail and so many other packages take priority over it.

SHIPPING & HANDLING – Your item will be shipped with a tracking number in a large cardboard box. Special packaging requests can sometimes be accommodated at an additional charge for added materials and added postage. If you have specific packaging requests (protected corners, double boxing, etc), contact me with these special requests BEFORE paying so that I can calculate the extra cost of materials and postage.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS – General Information

PAYMENT - No International Buyers because of the extremely heavy weight of these items. Overseas shipping would be too expensive.

GRADING :

NM (+/-), E (+/-), VG (+/-)

Lps are visually graded and have not been sound-tested so it is very possible that there will be noise not mentioned in the description. Vintage sealed items have obviously not been sound tested and carry no warranty. In general I recommend cleaning all lps before playback, as most have not been machine cleaned.

NM+ usually means the lp looks brand new or was sealed and was recently opened (I rarely use this grade).

NM usually means that the lp has no significant marks and plays with little noise.

NM- will have some sleeve residue, minor surface wear, surface noise, and/or minor scuffs.

E will show medium wear or surface marks and will have surface noise.

VG will have heavier wear and significant marks/scratches and will play with considerable surface noise.

Jackets - I try to mention significant damage like seam splits, writing and corner creases, but most jackets will show some minor signs of age or shelf wear, even jackets rated NM. NM+ jackets are usually new or in original plastic.

Items are sold AS-IS with no returns/refunds. Please take this into consideration when buying clearance items or items that are graded below NM. I have established a reputation, especially in the quality-conscious classical record community, as a seller with fair prices, excellent packaging, super-fast shipping, and often better-than-stated condition. Please view my thousands of feedbacks and tens of thousands of sales and feel confident that I am not trying to cheat anyone by using an as-is policy. The very high cost of shipping, differing equipment & standards, and the fact that the lps are not fully sound certified are the biggest reasons for my no return policy.
