PROFESSIONAL PACKAGING & SHIPPING SPECIFICS
As collectors ourselves, we treat high-value vinyl with the utmost respect. This record will be shipped using best practice defensive packing techniques to ensure it arrives in the exact condition described:
1 With the exception of sealed records, the vinyl (inside its sleeve) will be removed completely from the outer jacket prior to packing. This eliminates the risk of "spine splits" or seam blown-outs occurring during transit.
2 Both jacket and vinyl will be placed side-by-side inside a brand new, archival-quality protective clear poly outer sleeve.
3 The package will be securely sandwiched between heavy corrugated cardboard stiffeners.
4 Shipped inside a dedicated, rigid, premium heavy-duty LP record mailer.
5 Fully insured shipping with tracking included.

Buy with confidence. Please feel free to reach out with any technical questions or if you require specific additional photographs before purchasing.
