The shipping check out calculator is usually accurate and gives the chance to check out fast with combined shipping .We will refund by Pay Pal if the buyer has paid too much for the weight and it's destination. In some cases where the weight is too high we might also ask for additional payment for example with heavy box sets or gatefolds/large orders. There is a 2 kg (usually 4-7 LP's) limit on small packet service in UK so we will split into several small packages to save cost when it makes sense. Larger box sets and packages over 2 kg will ship with Parcelforce , please check prices on line or ask. It is also possible to stock pile records up to 2 weeks and use special shipping companies for very large orders. We do not make money on shipping and are striving to give correct shipping quotes. For bigger orders , please contact us so we can give shipping options before purchase.

Orders with a value of $80 and over will only ship as a Signed for package. If you would like cheaper items sent this way please specify right after purchase.

 SAFE WRAPPING:

All orders are sent in very strong German made double walled boxes at no additional cost. We do not use the cheap and flimsy "mailers" that is used by most ebay sellers and with our superior wrapping

we can guarantee that your LP's are arriving without any damage to corners etc.

Please contact me if you have special requests regarding wrapping (like if you do not want me to separate LP from jacket.)

PAYMENT:

I accept Pay Pal and I ship right after money clears. Alternative payment methods accepted  by local pick up in London , UK / or by appointment.

DISCOUNTS:

Buy 10 or more items and get a 10 % discount on the price of the records.  Box sets counts as one item only.  The discount also applies to records on sale. For more info on discounts on very large orders , please contact us.

SOUND SYSTEM:

VOYD The Voyd 3 motor turntable / HELIUS Omega Silver Ruby tonearm / AUDIO NOTE IOII cartridge into AN-S8 Step up transformer . Amplification is all from Audio Note: M5 phono/Conqueror and AN-E Spe HE speakers.

Sometimes older mono LP's benefits from being played with a mono cartridge. If you use a Stereo cartridge playing older monos , more surface roar must usually be expected.

Bid/Purchase with confidence and check out my feedback. I have sold thousands of records on and off Ebay during the last 10 years. As a true enthusiast I have high standards.  Most records are professionally cleaned on a VPI 17F  record cleaning machine and all items are visually graded in strong light and will be played before listing . I try to offer the best possible service for my customers and if there is any problem with a product , contact me, and we will work it out. See my ``About Me'' page for more information.

Delivery time for items sent within Europe is usually about a week or less , but It can also take longer. For worldwide shipping normal delivery time is 7-10 days or quicker , but It can take up to several weeks weeks on rare occasions.

Please base your seller ratings on the time it took me to ship the item after payment and not the actual shipping time as I cannot control possible postal delays .
