Vinyl Record Cleaning:

To obtain the best possible audio playback, opened records are cleaned using a highly effective multi-step cleaning process. Records are first pre-cleaned with AIVS fluids, then undergo ultrasonic treatment at 80khz and using a Clearaudio Double Matrix RCM.  Finally, records are rinsed with ultrapure reagent grade water, vacuum dried and placed in a new anti-static record innersleeve.

 

Shipping:

Domestic US shipping (USPS media mail) is $3.50 for first record. Additional records ship for free.  Please use cart checkout for purchasing multiple records.  Records are shipped within 1 business day of payment.  For best protection, records are shipped in a new professional mailer with appropriate flat cardboard stiffeners.  Vinyl and innersleeve shipped outside of jacket cover to prevent seam splits.  New plastic outer sleeves (2.5 mil crystal clear polypropylene) are included for additional protection. 

For international shipping please use the calculated Ebay shipping rate.  If ordering multiple records, please wait for an invoice with accurate shipping charges.  Maximum 5 records or 4 lb total per order for international shipping.
