* * * * * * * *

I use RC gradings, although I tend to undergrade, so that the buyer is fully satisfied - I only use the term 'Mint' if an item is sealed, So many of my EX and EX+ grades might be considered 'Mint' by many. I also do not believe there is much point in just putting EX/EX or VG+/EX as this can vary hugely between sellers, so I try to put in as detailed description as I can

* * * * * * * *

I have been selling records on the Net and in the real world for many years with top ratings on the likes of GEMM and NETSOUNDS, (As well as here on ebay), so please buy with confidence

After Sales service is just as important to us as selling the item in the first place! There is little point selling something, then skimping on the quality of the packaging and delivery. When sending, all records and inner sleeves are separated from their main outer sleeves then both placed in poly sleeves , then in thick card, then in bubble wrapped envelopes for the best protection possible...no flimsy card mailers! You can see from many of our feedback comments where buyers have kindly taken the trouble to point out how happy they are with the service

All items are shipped within 2 working days of paypal payment (or cheque clearing) - Saturdays included! We ship on every working day (Including Saturdays)

* * * * * * *

POSTAGE DISCOUNTED FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES (see below)

Full refund guaranteed if you are not completely satisfied with the items as described

Please note that while we are not responsible for any items damaged or lost in the post, we will make all claims from the Post Office and refund the buyer as soon as we have been refunded ourselves
