Guarantee:

I guarantee the person who buys the record will not be disappointed; taking the description into account. However if the item does not meet with the customers expectation then a full refund will be given if the item is returned in the same condition as it was sent. The refunding of postage and packaging will depend on the nature of the dissatisfaction.

Packaging:

The record will be packaged appropriately to prevent any damage from occurring during transit. Sealed records are not tampered with; if the records are not sealed then the following steps are taken. Records are removed from the outer sleeve to prevent damage occurring to the records or outer sleeve during transit. If records are housed in customised inner sleeves then the records are removed from the customised inner sleeves and placed in white inner sleeves. This prevents damage occurring to the customised inner sleeves such as seam splits and ring ware during transit.

Posting times:

Items will be posted the next working day after payment has been received or cleared.

Combining Postage & Packaging:

If more than one item is purchased, where possible, postage and packaging will be combined to give the cheapest and most appropriate postal option.

Cash payments:

I do not accept cash for this item unless it is being collected in person.

Feedback:

I only give feedback after I've received it. This is because I need to know that the buyer is satisfied with the product before I can give feedback. If they are not satisfied with the product then there will be other issues to deal with such as refunds; return of product etc.
