All the vinyl that I sell will have as standard a protective PVC cover, will be sent via Royal Mail using a signed for service which will include full insurance whilst in transit until receipt. The final sale value will determine the postage rate to ensure the insurance is sufficient.

Vinyl with a final sale value below £50 will be sent second class signed for as standard unless you choose a different level of service at checkout, or request an alternative service before making your purchase.

Vinyl with a final sale value above £50 will be sent using the Royal Mail Special Delivery service only, with guaranteed next day delivery before 1pm (although there are no deliveries made on Sunday and a Saturday delivery will incur additional costs. If Saturday delivery is required, please contact me before clicking buy it now for a quote and to allow me time to add the additional service to the listing)

I would suggest you place the item in your basket, contact me with your request and await my response to confirm the additional service has been added to the listing. At which point, please follow the usual checkout process ensuring you choose the postage option you require.

Please be aware, to amend any postage option, I am unable to make any kind of edit where the buy it now option has been used.

Postage costs also include purpose made very strong and sturdy re-enforced vinyl record mailers to ensure your purchase reaches you in perfect condition, as has been described in its listing.
