  International Customers: DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE INVOICE

I am an expert shipper. I will remove the inner sleeve and vinyl from the outer sleeve to prevent seam-splits in transit, and I will package the LP using a rigid mailer and reinforced cardboard. Being a collector myself, I understand the great importance of accurate product listings, professional packing, and fast shipping.

International customers are welcome!!!

International Mail $25
