SHIPPING

THE SHIPPING COST IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER AND CAN BE ESTIMATED BY REQUEST DURING THE AUCTION OR IT WILL BE DETERMINED AFTER THE AUCTION HAS ENDED.  I COMBINE THE SHIPPING COST FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS/RECORDS.  DISREGARD THE $3.45/MEDIA MAIL SHIPPING COST LISTED IN THE AUCTION AS THAT IS NOT REALISTIC FOR ALL LOCATIONS/COUNTRIES I SHIP TO.  PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL YOU RECEIVE MY INVOICE WITH THE TOTAL COST.

I SHIP WORLDWIDE, RECORDS TO BE SHIPPED OVERSEAS WITH A VALUE OVER $75 USD MUST BE SENT USING REGISTERED MAIL WHICH TYPICALLY ADDS TO THE COST OF SHIPPING BY $13-$15 MORE.

RECORD PACKAGING
