If the total value of your consignment exceeds £24.99 please wait for an invoice before making payment. Owing to the increasing number of shipments getting 'lost in the post', ALL international consignments over £24.99 in value will be subject to a MANDATORY additional charge of £5.00 to cover the Royal Mail 'Tracked/Signed' fee as specified by both eBay and PayPal. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS WHATSOEVER! THIS IS FOR YOUR PROTECTION, SECURITY AND PEACE OF MIND. If you buy this item you acknowledge that you have read and understood this paragraph and agree to pay this charge in full if applicable.

Consignments to addresses where there has been any history of non-delivery will ONLY be shipped via a tracked/signed for service regardless of value. ALL instances of items 'lost in the post' will be reported to eBay, and in order to protect honest buyers we always liaise, and co-operate fully, with local law enforcement agencies, and postal and courier services in suspected cases of fraud or theft. If your consignment value is less than £25.00 we will offer you the option of using a Royal Mail Tracked/Signed For service. If you choose this option there will be an additional charge of £5.00 to cover the extra cost of the service. Please note that tracked services are not available to all countries. If you pay for the item before making this choice your item will NOT be sent via a Tracked/Signed For service.

ALL consignments will normally be sent via Royal Mail or other major courier services. You can also collect the items(s) in person, or organise your own courier to collect the item(s). If you organise your own courier they must be able to provide us with signed proof of collection, and there will be a minimum charge of £2.00 to cover the cost of the packaging materials. The prices quoted for the postage and packaging of additional LPs are approximate. The actual postage and packaging charge for additional LPs will be based on the overall weight of the consignment. Please bear in mind that as the weight of a single LP can vary from 150g to 500g it is not possible to quote an exact price until we know the total packed weight of the items you've purchased. Please don't ask for cheaper Postage and Packaging rates. We don't make any profit on Postage and Packaging and only charge what it costs to pack the item properly and post it but this is NOT just the cost of the stamps. Our Postage and Packaging rates are NOT negotiable and any buyer making unreasonable demands regarding Postage and Packaging charges will be reported to eBay. International consignments are restricted to the Royal Mail maximum Air Mail weight limit of 2kg (approximately 5 to 7 single LPs) and so consignments exceeding 2kg MUST be split into more than one package and will be charged accordingly. Consignments to UK addresses are not subject to this restriction. We reserve the right to split consignments with a total value exceeding £100.00 to minimise the risk of loss or damage in transit. By bidding on, or buying this item you acknowledge that you have read, fully understood, and agreed to all the above terms and shipping rates. Consignments are normally despatched within five working days (excluding weekends and UK statutory holidays) from receipt of cleared funds. If you are bidding on more than one item over a few days we may hold items you have already paid for so your items can be combined for shipping to save you money on P & P. If you need an item urgently (for example, as a present for a special occasion) you MUST let us know so that we can despatch the item immediately. For international shipments please also allow time for Customs clearance within your country. Consignments to some areas of Russia are currently taking 8 to 10 weeks to clear Customs so if you may be affected by this delay please take it into account when bidding and be patient if your consignment takes longer than normal to arrive. This delay is completely outside our control. All items are shipped in top quality mailers with additional stiffening as required. To avoid seam splits in transit, records are removed from both the original outer and inner sleeves and shipped in a separate inner sleeve which is placed outside the original outer sleeve. All LPs, EPs and 45s are thoroughly cleaned on a Keith Monks record cleaning machine (as used by the BBC) prior to despatch. Please note: We fully understand that buyers want to be sure that their purchase will be packed so that it arrives in the condition it was despatched but we do ask you not to give us instructions as to how to package items. We've shipped a great many very valuable items all over the world for many years and take the utmost care in ensuring that all items are packaged correctly so that they will survive the journey. Rest assured, we know what we're doing and it's in our interest to get it right. If you're in any doubt please read the feedback comments left by other buyers regarding the quality of our packaging.
