Terms of sale, please read carefully: 1) All records are graded under a Policeman's home/office torch, not daylight. So an accurate visual description assured. I just can not believe the amount of so called Mint records that are sold are genuine mint copies. It's impossible to get that many mint old copies!! Here I grade properly, and VG or VG+ does not mean knackered. I grade in line with UK Record Collector Grading System as follows:  - MINT: I only grade Mint when Sealed Near Mint: In brand New condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover and contents nearly perfect. Excellent: Shows some signs of being played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Cover and contents might have slight wear and/or creasing. VG+ Very Good Plus: Better than Very Good, has obviously been played but no significant deterioration in sound quality despite light surface marks. Very little wear and tear on cover and contents, without any major defects. VG Very Good: Has obviously been played many times, but no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on cover and contents, without any major defects. Good:  Sound quality has noticeable deterioration, perhaps with some distortion. Mild scratches. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.
2) Postage all records are packed in sturdy cruciforms with stiffeners. I do know about removing vinyl from sleeves and packing properly. No need to waste your time sending me emails about it. 99% of records are posted within 24 hours, very rarely 48 hours. UK postage tracking details are entered the same day as shipping, International Orders can be several days before I enter tracking details, as I use the Drop & Go service and collect them upon my return to the Post Office.
3) Buyers are responsible for all Customs Duty/Import Charges in their own country. The responsibility is not mine
