Frequently asked questions about postage:

Do you combine postage?  Yes.  I am not a business.  I have decent scales and if someone buys more than one record I pack, weigh and then send the invoice.  If someone buys quite a lot I will take the time to work out the various ways I can combine items to get the lowest postal costs with the correct insurance.

Will you send by standard postage?  No.  I will not post anything unless it has the correct insurance and a signature at point of delivery.   This includes international postage.

STEREO

THE COVER   is in overall very good condition. Slight wear on the corners.

The front:    is laminated.  None missing but there are a few wrinkles on the left edge and the bottom.  There is also a wrinkle at the top left corner in the curved shape of the vinyl record

The spine:   very slightly squashed in the middle otherwise very good condition

The back:   a bit grubby round the edges.  Has the circular punched hole at the top left so the blue edge of the inner sleeve shows through indicating Stereo. 

The inner sleeve:  a little grubby along the top edge and has age related discolouration.  The polythene liner is still present and functioning well

THE VINYL:  faint spindle marks on both sides of the labels which can only be seen when you hold it against the light. I've played it all the way through on both sides and there are no jumps or sticking points, plays really well and sounds great.  There are very minor sleeve scuffs on both sides. 

*****

If you live in the Canterbury/Herne Bay area you are welcome to collect or I could possibly deliver to a convenient venue.

POSTAGE:  I do not charge for packing materials, time spent packing or walking/driving to the Post Office!  Ebay are now taking a postage fee of 10% of whatever a seller charges.  (Thanks to all the greedy sellers who were deliberately making money on the postage they were charging buyers.) 

UK:   I send items with a value of up to £45.00 by 2nd class Recorded/Signed For to UK addresses.   I will only post an item if it has the correct amount of insurance. This means that the actual postage could be more than quoted at the top of this listing.  The following prices for posting one LP in a mailer with a cardboard stiffener are from the Royal Mail's website.

Value up to £45 - postage will be £3.70 for Second Class Signed For

Value between £45 and £100 - postage will be £6.95 for Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1 pm

INTERNATIONAL: I send items by Airsure if it is available, which means that international postage can be very expensive.  I will only post to countries that are listed on the Royal Mail's website as providing a signed for service at point of delivery.
