FRAGILE ITEM NOTICE:

We have shipped thousands of fragile 78rpm shellac records, we use brand new materials with cardboard supports, placed in a plastic bag, and centered in box with packing corn surrounding the disc. The disc is rubber-banded in between the cardboard supports. We try to get boxes with a 200 pound bursting rate, but when these are not available, we have a minimum standard or 75 pound bursting rate, we have used both with excellent results world wide!

SHIPPING TIME

We try and ship within four days, but we can not guarantee for certain any shipping time, eBay says four days, but that's not what we say! There are factors such as shipping supplies availability. The most important consideration for shipping 78rpm is taking our time in the warehouse, pulling the discs from the supply shelves, carefully handling and packaging the fragile disc! We are not the Amazon robots and we will not rush packing jobs with fragile 78rpm records! Here “slow” is a must! We take a little more time to make sure the record is not broken during this process.
