PACKING:

 Items will be sent in strong protective packing, using purpose designed mailers where possible. We take care to  make sure that the vinyl and inner bag are always removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits, and the  vinyl itself will be placed in a sleeve cover to protect it during transit.

Great care is taken with all packaging to ensure that your record arrives in the best possible condition
