PACKING & SHIPPING. We professionally pack in custom-made heavy duty boxes - not a pizza box or one picked out of a supermarket trashpile - read our Feedback to see what real customers think about the quality of our packing! Multiple items are always combined, so the more you buy the cheaper the unit cost for shipping! We live in a remote rural community and only visit the Post Office once or twice a week, so parcels may take slightly longer to arrive.

We have been selling 78 rpm Records, Cylinders, Gramophones, Books, and other fragile items by post for over 40 years, with thousands of satisfied customers worldwide - see our Feedback and read what other customers say about our grading, packing and prompt shipping.

 

Payments to be made within 7 days of auction closing. I am happy to hold items for a larger parcel if they are paid for.  _gsrx_vers_856 (GS 7.0.20 (856))
