New Zealand Mono 3rd  Press compilation on Black-silver Parlophone labels !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I use the UK Record Collector grading system. I grade conservatively to avoid disappointment.  I don't use the grading MINT! I rarely ever use the grading Near mint (maybe only for sealed vinyl or unplayed /new discs). My EX+ is often another's NM!

For a detailed description of the UK Record Collector gradings see:  http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/VINYL-­RECORD-GRADING-GUIDE?ugid=10000000001916909   

1. I always remove the disc from the sleeve when packing.

2. I use recycled packaging.

3. Please make payment within 3 working days.

Postage: 

UK/ EU/North America/Japan:

£11 Standard airmail (7-10 working days) + £3 for any additonal LP's.

This is effectively 1st class airmail and does not provide any sort of tracking service. Insurance for loss or damage is included but claims for loss or damage can only be made through NZ Post. Therefore if the above happens it will require your co-operation as NZ Post investigates such claims and does not compensate lightly without doing there homework. You agree not to claim via Paypal until NZ post have finished and concluded their investigation should this arise. 

**If you would like a tracked courier service please ask me to get a quote for you! 

South American/Italian/ Russian Federation/China : 

Please be prepared for long delays of up to 1-2 months for your item. This is to do with the postal service at your end not mine. I have had difficulties with clients in the above areas asking where there item is after 2 weeks. Well it is usually sitting in a depot/warehouse in your country until customs or some bureaucrat processes it. I don’t mean to cause any offence but please understand the only way around this is for you to pay for a courier service which has tracking details and is fast 4-6days. This is expensive (from £22-30) so please ask me if you want this.

Russian Federation: Unfortunately the only service available to Russian Federation clients is standard/1st class airmail- the Russian postal system will not allow for non business-business items to be couriered i.e. they will only deliver to a commercial business address.

Any questions ? Please drop me an email ;)
