USA SHIPPING & HANDLING – Your item will be shipped by Media Mail with a tracking number in a good-quality cardboard LP mailer box. If you have specific packaging requests (double boxing, etc), contact me with these special requests BEFORE paying so that I can calculate the extra cost of materials and postage. DISCOUNTED RATES FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES IF YOU WAIT FOR THE SELLERS INVOICE – For combined shipping, I will add $1 for each additional item added to the shipping cost of the heaviest item. If eBay does not calculate this correctly for you, kindly put your items in a shopping cart together and then click "request invoice" to request a correct combined invoice BEFORE paying. The “request invoice” feature is not available on mobile phone apps so please use a real computer on the ebay site to do so. Please do not forget, the SHIPPING DISCOUNTS DO NOT APPLY if you make separate payments for items or if you pay an improperly-calculated non-discounted ebay-generated total. This is because non-refundable ebay & paypal fees are taken from the shipping as well as from the items when you pay. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS This item is available to international buyers through eBay’s Global Shipping Program (GSP). GRADING : NM (+/-), E (+/-), VG (+/-), (Good, Fair, Poor) 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 minus will have some sleeve residue, minor surface wear, surface noise, and/or minor scuffs and hairlines. E will show light wear or surface marks and will have some surface noise. VG+ will have medium wear and marks/scratches and will play with 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. NM jackets are usually like new or in original plastic. ADDITIONAL INFO Items are sold AS-IS with no returns/refunds. Please take this into consideration when buying clearance or as-is items or items that are graded below NM. Please view my 75K+ sales and 8K+ feedbacks and feel confident that I am not trying to cheat anyone by using an as-is policy. Kindly ask questions before you purchase an item or request a second inspection - I am happy to help. If you have a problem with an item, kindly send me a message through the eBay message system. Please do not jump to opening a return case without contacting me first. Buyers who do this or who exaggerate in order to force a return will be blocked and reported to eBay. The very high cost of shipping & sales & transaction fees, differing equipment & standards, and the fact that the lps are not fully sound-certified on your equipment are the biggest reasons for my no return policy. Thanks for finding my store and checking out my items – I am sure you will enjoy them! Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
