All my record sales are posted in Lil Packaging FLP stiff mailers which I find very reliable.


Please note if bidding. I no longer have a record player so cannot play test any of my vinyl. I look at the condition before listing anything but cannot guarantee that there will be no issues with playability. Please bear this in mind if you decide to bid.


Postage 

UK £4.45 (2nd class signed for) 

International tracked and signed: 

EU £11.00 

Anywhere else £13.00

International standard £9.00 (note this is not tracked or signed and compensation is only £20 if it gets damaged or goes missing but this is a cheaper option for less expensive vinyl if you want to save some money)

Also note some countries, eg Chile, don't do tracked mail, only signed for but the post office charges the usual rate.


If you are a non UK buyer the invoice will automatically come up for £13 but just pay the lower rate if you are EU or want international standard.


I am selling off my whole vinyl collection so often have multiple auctions live. If you want to bid on more than 1 item then postage is £4.45 for 1 record (UK) and then add 50p per additional vinyl. For non UK sales add £3 per additional vinyl.
