I grade my records to perfection, as a buyer of vinyl myself I expect the same in return. Because they are cleaned and put in new poly liners you can put them straight onto your turntable without the need to clean them first.

Cleaned on my project record cleaner.

After cleaning with solution and vacuum, the records are stored in new poly lined or rice bags instead of it’s original inserts to stop paper dust from original liners embedding back into the record. The card and paper inner sleeves actually cause light surface marks every time you pull out record from sleeve. The poly and rice bags help prevent this occurring. A clean record also prevents dust collecting on your stylus and prologs the life of your stylus in the process

The cleaning solution used is illustrated in a picture

All vinyl will be dispatched in proper folding vinyl max cartons and I usually pack with cardboard or an old classical or easy listening record to prevent the record being damaged in transit. If you’ve ordered a regular 12” single I usually drop the sleeve and record in an old album sleeve to prevent bending. Posted as Second class signed for as I can track an item on Royal Mail track and trace and GPS can pin point delivery point in case of a no show! My protection and your insurance too.

As for postage I set the UK prices accordingly for postage. I do not set the price for GSP Global shipping programme outside of the UK. GSP protects the vendor’s sale and the customer’s purchase if it’s too expensive then please don’t bid on my items, it wastes my time and yours. I’ll also combine postage for multiple purchases

I strive to provide the best service possible by grading the records accordingly. If I see light surface marks I will always claim it’s there’s. I don’t sell anything with a surface that’s scratched. When you can feel a surface mark it’s game over for a record
