Store Policies & Shipping Information
SHIPPING (The revised International Postal Rates for 2016 are a bit crazy. The cost to ship one or two items is basically unchanged. However, once package weight exceeds 8 ounces, the cost increases dramatically to $22.50, but then it remains constant until weight exceeds 2 pounds. In fact, up to 14 records can ship for $22.50. If uncertain, anyone outside the U.S. may want to request a shipping quote when ordering multiple items.)
U.S. ORDERS: The charge for shipping one, two or three 45's is $3.25 for First Class mailing. Media Mail will be quoted for four or more 45's. These are the most cost-effective means of shipping, but changes can be made if requested. Insurance is optional, but we cannot be responsible for any parcel sent uninsured.
CANADA/MEXICO: First-Class Package International shipping, which does not provide tracking or insurance coverage, will be quoted. The charge for shipping one 45, and often two 45's, is $9.50. The charge for additional 45's will vary according to package weight. Although First-Class Package International Service is the preferred and most cost-effective means of shipping by air, changes can be made when necessary. There are options for Registered Mail and Insured Shipment that can be quoted upon request. >> Please remember, there is no means of tracking a parcel sent outside the U.S. unless the shipping service is upgraded. << Also, we cannot be responsible for any parcel sent uninsured.
EVERYWHERE ELSE (WORLDWIDE): First-Class Package International shipping, which does not provide tracking or insurance coverage, will be quoted. The charge for shipping one or two 45's, is $13.50. The charge for additional 45's will vary according to package weight. Although First-Class Package International Service is the preferred and most cost-effective means of shipping by air, changes can be made when necessary. There are options for Registered Mail and Insured Shipment that can be quoted upon request. >> Please remember, there is no means of tracking a parcel sent outside the U.S. unless the shipping service is upgraded. << Also, we cannot be responsible for any parcel sent uninsured.
Shipping charges will vary for other types of merchandise.
Orders are normally shipped within 48 hours, but obviously weekends and holidays are not part of that time period. Unforseen circumstances may also enter in from time to time, but getting orders shipped quickly is standard policy.
PLEASE REALIZE: There is absolutely no profit made on shipping charges. In fact, there is a loss when considering postage, the cost of materials, and ebay fees. We accept that as our cost of doing business.
REMINDER: We cannot be responsible for any parcel sent uninsured. It is very, very rare that a shipment is not successfully received by the buyer. Uncommon as they may be, things like loss or theft are beyond control of the seller.
PACKAGING
All items will be shipped in sturdy cardboard mailers or boxes, along with cardboard padding to ensure safe delivery. All records are in sleeves, and picture sleeves are in protective poly sleeves.
PRODUCT QUALITY
This store specializes in 45 RPM records of all types, and the vast majority are records from unplayed, old stock acquired from distributors, record label owners, defunct stores, and other reputable dealers. The vintage vinyl offered here is in outstanding condition and will rival that of any other seller. The term "near mint" is one of the most frequently misused terms on ebay. A "mint" record should be unused and perfect in every way, and, that being the case, a "near mint" record should be close to that. Approximately 95% of the records here will qualify as "near mint", and those graded lower will be in nice, clean condition. All records are original U.S. pressings, unless noted otherwise. Reissues, second pressings, reproductions, and imports will be identified. Unfortunately, no sound samples are available.
SATISFACTION GUARANTEE
Every effort will be made to deliver every item as advertised. If a mistake occurs, or you are dissatisfied with something, please contact us as soon as possible so we can resolve the situation to your satisfaction.
FEEDBACK
Feedback will normally be left the same day an order ships, or the next day at the latest. Please consider the feedback date to be the shipping date.
