Further Information

The records I am selling all formed part of my late father's extensive collection and the album photographed is the one that will be sent to the winning bidder. I will be happy to provide additional information or photographs upon request.

Packaging

In order to ensure that your album reaches you in optimum condition all records are dispatched in strong purpose made cardboard Wrappro mailing boxes (www.mediamailing.com) – not mailers or jiffys – additionally strengthened by 2 new card dividers, plus a new plastic outer sleeve and a polylined inner sleeve (brand new unless the original is serviceable).

Returns

I want you to be happy with your record and I try my best to be honest and accurate with my descriptions. All records are inspected under a very strong light and played on my father’s Linn and are described in accordance with Record Collector’s Grading system as follows:

MINT – sealed or unplayed

NEAR MINT – in brand new condition with no marks or deterioration in sound quality

EXCELLENT – shows some signs of having been played with slight wear

VERY GOOD – sleeve may have wear and tear and the vinyl may have noticeable marks 

                           or light scratches but no major deterioration

However if you are not satisfied that the record is in the condition described, I will happily take it back and refund the cost of the item upon return in exactly the same condition as it was shipped.

Payment
Payment must be made within seven days of the end of the auction unless agreed and I am always happy to hold items for multi-buyers and combine postage. UK bidders are welcome to pay by PayPal, personal cheque or postal order. Overseas bidders must pay by PayPal only. Non-EEC International bidders please note you may be liable to local import duty.

Dispatch

I endeavour to post items within one working day of receiving payment and wherever possible dispatch on the same day payment is received. Occasionally I am let down by the Royal Mail however expected delivery times following posting should be as follows:

First Class / Special Delivery – one working day

Second Class – three working days

Airmail (Western Europe) – three working days

Airmail (Eastern Europe) – four working days

Airmail (Rest of the World) – five working days

Postage Costs

For UK bidders, I've provided a number of postal options other than the basic free Second Class post service and there is no additional charge for shipping how ever many albums you buy.

Overseas Buyers please note that postage quoted is via International Signed For which provides tracking and priority handling by Royal Mail and only adds £3.50 to each parcel - so if you are multi-buying it becomes more cost effective - and Airsure, which is available to certain worldwide destinations, adds only £4.50 per parcel. As a guide postage for each additional single album within Europe will be £2.00 or £3.00 worldwide (doubles, triples and box sets will be more but singles and 12 inch singles will be less)

For overseas multibuyers who purchase more than 5 single albums (ie weight over 2kg) it may be necessary to dispatch in more than one parcel or alternatively I can offer shipping by Parcel Force. Please let me know when you have finished bidding and I will send you an invoice combining postage - otherwise PayPal will automatically add all the postage charges together!
I dispatch airmail (small packets) for destinations in Republic of Ireland only.

Postal Insurance and Compensation

Most Royal Mail services have a maximum compensation level of £39 however if your successful winning bid is more than this, I strongly recommend you opt for a service which offers increased compensation. If you opt for a service that offers less compensation than you have paid for your item and it goes missing or gets damaged, it will be your loss!

I always obtain retain proof of postage so in the event of an item being lost or damaged, I will make the appropriate claim for compensation, and will reimburse you if the claim is successful. If the item is damaged, you may have to return it to me, which you will have to do at your own expense, so that I can make the claim and reimburse you if the claim is successful.
