The vinyl on this plays VG with some scratches and surface wear, particularly on side 1.  Skips are not likely, however, as the scratches are not deep. Still, in keeping with the VG rating, this will not be audiophile, but it will be certainly listenable.   There are no posters/stickers.  The jacket is VG+ with no splits.

All of my items are shipped in standard LP/45 mailers with stiffeners and bubble wrap.  I do not cut corners in this area. 

I do combine shipping.  So for domestic buyers, I will ship up to 5 records and charge you just the $4 media mail fee.  For international buyers, I do combine shipping as well.  See below under “International Shipping Rates” section:  

*International buyers,  if you are requesting any shipping quicker than First Class, please wait until I send you an invoice before paying.  Feel free to pay without my invoice if you just want First Class International and are comfortable with my rates below.   You are responsible for any customs, duty or value added tax assessed by your country on top of what you paid me for the item.  I do not mark items as gifts in order to avoid import and value added tax fees. 

International Shipping Rates: 

 7 inch records are a flat $16 worldwide for First Class.  If you purchase up to 5 from me at one time, the shipping cost will remain the same, at $16.   At 6 and 7, the shipping rate goes up slightly, to $18.  

12 inch records are $20 First Class for the first record.  2 different records or one double album is $24.   Three different records or one triple album is $30.    4 records is a $34 charge.   If you are wanting more than 4 LPs in one order,  you will need to wait for an invoice as here we are often getting close to the 4 pound First Class International threshold.  Or you can feel free to email me before buying and I will let you know what the shipping cost is and whether it still falls under First Class International shipping guidelines.  

How I Grade: 

 Generally for LP’s and 45’s, I use a combination of visual grading and spot playing grading.  For instance,  if I see a questionable spot, I will test play over that area to assess the damage.  If there are skips, they will be noted.  If just some extra surface noise, I will note that as well in the listing.  Please do take a good look at the posted pictures as my jacket descriptions do not always include all the details evident in the picture.  For instance, if there is writing on the back of the jacket, it will be evident in the picture but not always in the description.  This combination of visual grading and spot grading, while better than your average visual grading, does not always guarantee there will be no issues.  99/100 there will be no issues.  But if there are issues, just email me and I will make it right.  I won’t assume you are just a buyer trying to get something for nothing, because I have learned that record buyers are generally very honest people.  And that’s why I sell nothing but records. 

BumpkinRecords Shipping Days:   

 I ship on Tuesdays and Fridays.  If you order and pay on a Tuesday, it may be shipped Friday depending on backlog.  

-Texas residents please wait for invoice as sales tax is calculated on final bid**

Returns and Miscellaneous: 

-If any issues arise with the quality of my product, please contact me first via ebay before leaving feedback and I will ensure the problem is rectified.  As items are visually graded and spot tested, there is the potential that 1/100 times there could be a skip on an lp that I simply missed by visual inspection.  If this is the case, I do want to hear about it.  Nothing worse than drinking a nice cold beverage and then having to deal with an unexpected skip on track 3, side B and then you have to get up and your whole night is wrecked.  I understand.  Generally in these situations I offer full refund upon receipt of the product in the condition I sent it, or I will offer a partial refund.  In any case, I want to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase.  Finally, for Texas residents only, please wait for my invoice as sales tax is charged as well.
