BEFORE CONTACTING US, BEFORE MAKING AN OFFER(S), and/or BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE(S) WITH US HERE ON DISCOGS, WE REQUIRE THAT YOU READ (AND AGREE TO) THE POLICIES (or, OUR "SELLER TERMS") BELOW.

TO BE ABLE TO PLACE AN ORDER ON THIS SITE WITH US, (or any seller), Discogs requires that you click the "I agree to Sales & Transaction Policy and Seller Terms" check box at time of checkout of your cart. The "Sales & Transaction Policy" and "Seller Terms" are links that you are expected to review. BY CLICKING THAT BOX, AND PLACING AN ORDER, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU’VE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO THE POLICIES CONTAINED HERE IN OUR “SELLER TERMS” (THIS PAGE).

UNLESS AGREED UPON PRIOR TO ORDERING WE WILL NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO ANY OF OUR SELLER TERMS.

IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION THAT IS NOT ADDRESSED BELOW IN OUR POLICIES, CONTACT US BEFORE PURCHASING, AND WAIT FOR AN ANSWER PRIOR TO PURCHASE. There is a table of contents below.

THE "MAKE OFFER" FUNCTION: Unless making an offer on numerous items at once, do not make an offer if we are the already the lowest price available with competing offers listed; these requests will be ignored, or declined. Offensively low offers may result in blocking.

• WE WILL NOT RENEGOTIATE ANY ASPECT OF A SALE ONCE A PURCHASE IS MADE.

• WE WILL NOT SEND PICTURES OF AN ITEM ONCE A PURCHASE HAS BEEN MADE.

• ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD ON A STRICT "AS IS" BASIS. We are happy to answer any questions not detailed here in our Seller Terms, or specifically in the item condition comments of a listing.

Please ask all pertinent questions PRIOR to purchase as there are no returns.

SHIPPING RATES & OPTIONS: If you see a rate that's higher than expected for an item, say $106 s/h, read "NEW DISCOGS SHIPPING RATE SYSTEM" (below) for explanation.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
IMPORTANT UPDATES:
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

• Due to rising costs, and fees, we have implemented a Minimum Order Amount. It's the only way this can work.

If you’re local, or will be visiting Los Angeles, consider taking advantage of Free Local Pickup when checking out. OR… Make Offers on a big pile! We’re reasonable people, but we refuse to waste our time.

• Unless an item is insured, WILL NOT be held liable for carrier mishandling (incl. but not limited to records - or other heat sensitive items - left on porches/in delivery trucks/on docks, etc). Insurance is the buyer’s responsibility. Media Mail is slow (and thus leaves an item in the delivery process for much longer). Priority Mail - or First Class for light order weights - is always recommended, and can be purchased at time of checking out (payment) on Discogs.

• VAT (Value Added Tax) is now being added to EU, Japan, Australian and other international orders at time of sale. 😩 As we pay PayPal fees on your order total, you're right to assume that we're not happy about this either. Reminder that we are a brick and mortar shop, and local pickup can always be made when visiting to avoid shipping costs.

• USPS Shipping rates have recently went up - as we pay PayPal fees on your order total, you're right to assume that we're not happy about this either. Reminder that local pickup is always an option, and additional items ship at very low additional rates.

• GENERAL MARKETPLACE CONDUCT •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

We are grateful to be able to buy, sell, and trade audio recordings for a living, recirculate the good vibes, and learn new things every day via our work. Simply put music makes our world go 'round, and hopefully we can connect via this common ground.

We have been in business for many years, and most of the time our work is fun work. That being said, all we ask is that you please approach us with the same kindness we offer to you.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• MINIMUM ORDER AMOUNT •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

We have a Minimum Order Amount of $30 (before shipping costs). This applies to all orders.
No exceptions will be made to this policy. Offers that don't total at least $30 will be ignored, or declined without explanation.

The reasons for this, are as follows:

• We are a very small shop with paid staff.

• Quality packing/communication takes time.

• There are costs associated with doing all aspects of business in general.

• Discogs has raised their fees, and now apply to shipping costs(!). They have now mandated PayPal as the only form of payment. That means that PayPal then applies their criminally high slice to all of the above *including* the Sales Tax / Import Duties you pay. 😕

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• COMMUNICATION / MESSAGING •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

To ensure a smooth transaction, PLEASE, once an order is placed, only communicate through Discogs on the Order Message Timeline of your order. This creates a unified history of communication for our Discogs person, and our shipper.

Please do not call the shop to inquire about the status of an order. Discogs stock is separate from shop stock, and shop clerks do not know about Discogs orders.

Failure to communicate in this unified place (Discogs Order Message Timeline) will only complicate and/or delay the process.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• LOCAL PICK-UP OF ITEMS •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

As per Discogs' policy, all orders must be made through Discogs. Local pickup of purchases is usually available for all items at our physical brick and mortar shop. However, stock is not on site so pickup MUST be arranged (AND *confirmed* via the Order Timeline Messages - usually at least one standard business day in advance) through our Discogs person PRIOR to just showing up. Local Pickup transactions are beneficial to both of us, as we don't have to pack your order, it’s stays out of the postal system, and you don't pay shipping costs. Shop Local Thru Discogs!

• TRADES / BUYING •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Our Discogs stock is separate from our physical shop. As such, we do not do trades here, and we will not circumvent the Discogs marketplace. If you are in the Los Angeles area and have Records, Tapes, CDs, VHS, DVDs, 8-Tracks, Reels, Lasderdiscs, Tees, Memorabilia, etc we buy in shop most days. For the up-to-date days/times that we buy, please call shop, or check our Instagram bio @JACKNIFERECORDSANDTAPES). Requests to do trades here on Discogs will be ignored.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• COMBINED SHIPPING / MERGED ORDERS •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

We are more than happy to combine shipping of multiple items in one order. In these cases, you will pay just the standard amount for the first item, and only a small amount for each additional item when shipped together. The specific rates are available when viewing our products on Discogs here: https://www.discogs.com/seller/jackniferecordstapes/profile - Just click the "shipping" link after the shipping rate for an item in the Price column (for example, "+$6.00 shipping"). There you will see the shipping rates for additional items. Please make sure the proper country, or region, is selected from the drop-down menu above. The additional rate covers time, materials, and labor; this is non-negotiable.

IMPORTANT: If you are looking to combine shipping, please commit to buying all desired items, but DON'T COMPLETE PAYMENT. Wait for us to merge all items into one order and make only one payment. Things get complicated when you do not follow these directions.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• LARGE ORDERS + HIGHER PRICED ITEMS •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

At our discretion, we reserve the right to require agreement of purchase via approved pictures through email prior to shipping. As well as the use of Signature Confirmation, USPS Express Mail Shipping, and/or Full Insurance (with Full Valuation), for more expensive items/orders. Please understand that this can delay the process of a transaction.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• AVAILABILITY OF STOCK •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

All items listed are in stock and should be available for shipment. Once in a great while, an item is misplaced/misfiled. We are only human - but, we can say that this is a very rare occurrence and has happened only a few times in literally 1000’s of Discogs transactions.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• SHIPPING SCHEDULE •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

We are not Amazon. We are a very small store that is open daily. Most aspects of the shop (in addition to Discogs) are handled by a single human being at the moment. We are simply not equipped to ship every day. We usually ship once, sometimes twice, per week (based on the orders we receive), after your payment is received. If you need something shipped faster, please contact us to see if we are able to do so *prior* to purchasing. We will always do our best, but please remember the above, so we can't guarantee it will be possible.

Things to consider:
• We don't start pulling an order until it's paid for.
• The larger the order, the longer it will take to fill.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• TRACKING •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

All shipments have tracking numbers through the United States Postal Service (USPS). This is part of the shipping cost that you pay, and is not optional. Your unique tracking number is provided to you through the "Message" portion of your Order page on Discogs once your order has shipped. Once tracking is sent to you, an order is considered to be in "Pre-Shipment". At that time, we have only printed your shipping label and are prepping/packaging your order for shipment. Receiving a tracking number does not mean the order is has shipped or that it is in the Postal System yet. Depending on the time of packing, items can drop same day, but usually next business day. Also note, that sometimes items are packed after hours, or on a Friday, or Saturday, and thus would be dropped one - sometimes two - business days after that. Again, we are a small organization. We are doing all we can with the resources we have. If it's been more than 1-2 business days after you received your tracking number and tracking says "Pre-Shipment" it *usually* means the package just didn't get scanned. Unfortunately, the USPS seems - increasingly - to not be scanning items into the system in a timely matter, or sometimes not even at all, until delivery(??!??) Sometimes, packages take a trip *around* The World (??!??) before making it to you. Obviously, these occurrences are completely out of our control. Still, the USPS is amazing service, and a crazy value, but nevertheless we are sorry it happens. However, we ask that you consider this and try to be understanding.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• "MAKE OFFER" FEATURE •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Most of our items have the "Make Offer" option enabled. BEFORE making an offer please consider the following:

We've enabled the "Offer" function primarily for buyers wishing to make larger orders on numerous items in one transaction. We have thousands, and thousands, of items, and are always adding more - take a look! 👀 From time to time, we accept offers on single items - much more commonly on multiple items at once.

Additionally:
• Should we accept your offer, you are committing to purchase an item.
• If we are already the lowest price on an item with competing offers, please don't waste your time, or ours.
• We don't disclose the lowest price we will accept for an item.
• Discogs allows the buyer to submit only one offer. Unlike other marketplaces, there is no counteroffer function here, so don't waste it.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• INSURANCE •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

We take packing very seriously - read our feedback: https://www.discogs.com/sell/seller_feedback/jackniferecordstapes
However, at our discretion, we may require you to buy insurance for pricier items, or larger orders. If this is a concern, please write prior to purchasing. Remember, we are at the mercy of the USPS, so aside from packing items well, we cannot guarantee they will handle your shipment without insurance. For our packing practices, see the SHIPPING / PACKING PRACTICES portion below.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• STATE SALES TAX (for USA BUYERS) •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Discogs now adds State Sales Tax to US orders. Sellers have no way opt out of this. And - what's even more criminal - realize that we in turn pay fees on the taxes you pay (when you use PayPal), so - as you can imagine - we're super not into it either. :-/

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• CUSTOMS FEES, IMPORT TAXES •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

As per Discogs' terms: "Buyers are responsible for any and all customs fees, import taxes, or other delivery-related charges once the item has been shipped." We do not undervalue items.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• RETURNS •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

We do not accept returns. All items sold here on Discogs by us are sold on an “AS IS” basis.

We grade visually, and conservatively.

We offer a lot of Still Sealed (or "NOS" / "New Old Stock" / "Deadstock") items. Only the "Media" condition portion of Still Sealed items will be "Mint", not the packaging. Only unseen items can be assumed "Mint", and as such cannot be guaranteed. The best packaging can only be "M-", or "NM".

That being said, we are more than happy to try and answer any questions not addressed within these Seller Terms (this page). If you have any questions that are not answered on this Seller Terms page (that you agree to when purchasing), please make sure to ask PRIOR to purchase.

Any additional concerns? Maybe review our feedback here on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/sell/seller_feedback/jackniferecordstapes

Thank You! :)

• ORDER CANCELLATIONS •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

We do not accept cancellations of orders for any reason. Make sure to ask all pertinent questions prior to making a purchase, and be sure that you want an item(s) before ordering. Certainly, once an item is paid for, we do not cancel orders.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• YOUR SHIP-TO / PAYPAL ADDRESS •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

As per Discogs' terms: "Buyers are responsible for providing an accurate shipping address. Buyers are responsible for providing an accurate shipping address. Since payment providers, such as PayPal, will only provide seller protection if the order is shipped to the address listed with the buyer's payment provider, sellers may cancel an order if the buyer's shipping information listed in the Service does not match what is listed with their payment provider. If a seller cancels an order for this reason, they may request Us to remove order feedback."

This means, orders paid for through PayPal ship ONLY to your confirmed PayPal address, NOT your Discogs address (should it be different). If your shipment information is incorrect, or incomplete, delays in shipment will likely occur. If it's not evident that to us that your shipment information is incorrect, or incomplete, and you don't notify us *prior* to shipment, shipments may be held at customs, and/or will be returned to us. If this happens you will be financially responsible for re-shipment.

• NON-DELIVERY / RETURNED SHIPMENTS •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

International customers especially, take note! Unclaimed orders, orders returned to us for non-delivery (due to wrong address, missing phone number, etc) are not refunded, rather it is your responsibility to provide an alternate/corrected shipping address, and to pay the new postage. Items held at customs are - obviously - your responsibility to figure out. Furthermore, we cannot be held responsible for postal errors (theft, delivery error, etc). If you're concerned about this, please contact us about insurance.

• SHIPPING / PACKING PRACTICES •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

We ship through the United States Postal Service (USPS). Unless negotiated otherwise, buyer pays all associated shipping costs.

Next to poor grading, we are of the strong belief that there's nothing worse than poor packing. We're not into wasting your time; or ours. So, rest assured, all items are packed carefully, and thoughtfully (as indicated by our feedback). We are not interested in making money on shipping, but there is a baseline for time/materials that are required to make sure things get to you safely - our rates conservatively reflect such.

More specifically, non-sealed LPs/45s are removed from their outer sleeves to avoid seam splitting. If there is a custom inner, we put the disc(s) in fresh new inner sleeve(s) to avoid seam splits to the original inner. We use multiple cardboard filler pads on each side of the LP, and alternate the grain of them for extra strength. This all costs, but it's worth it. If you'd like a sealed record to be opened, prior to shipment, please advise us so.

Cassettes/CDs are wrapped in cardboard and then in a fresh (poly outer) bubble mailer. These weather the elements the package may encounter on it's journey to you better.

Recycling is super cool, however ... we only use new mailers. You can re-use them if you like after, but in uncompromised materials are key to getting your items to you safely.

Please don't pay, and THEN hours/days later ask for an item to be double boxed, for extra bubble wrap, or whatever... If you have a special request, let us know by writing us a message associated with the order comments AT THE TIME OF ORDER + PAYMENT, and we will try our best to accommodate you. At that time, we will then assess the situation, and send you a PayPal request to cover the additional time and materials.

All items have tracking, but if you elect not to add insurance, it is at your own risk. Adding insurance can be done two ways:

1) prior to payment (we will edit the Discogs invoice by adding insurance to the shipping cost - to do this you must place your order, but not complete payment until we edit the invoice)

2) at the time of payment (you can request insurance in the order messages and we can send an additional payment request)

All that being said, we WILL NOT be held responsible for damage, or loss, to items during transit.

• NON-PAYING BUYER CANCELLATION POLICY •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Once an order is placed, you have four (4) days to complete payment after invoice has been sent. IMPORTANT: If no payment for an item is made after four days of invoice being sent to you, Discogs will *automatically* leave you a negative feedback, and relist the item for sale to other buyers. This feedback is not posted by us, but rather an *automated process* posted on our behalf. If a transaction is completed after this time, we will remove the automatic negative feedback, of course! :)

Newbies to this site: Please realize that Discogs uses stock pictures. In the rare case that we post a picture of the exact copy of an item we are selling, this will be noted in the condition comments of our listing.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Due to the increasing number of requests for pictures, we need to explain something. We are a very small record shop. Items are listed in shop, but once items are listed, 99%+ of items are stored offsite. So, obviously, we are not able to send pictures of most items, *especially* inexpensive ones, and *never* after an order is placed.

• CONDITION GRADING •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Grading of media (especially Vinyl Records) is not everything when buying, but it's ALMOST everything. To us nothing is more frustrating than misgrading, and then having to go back and contact the seller. We are all also collectors so we get it. Unfortunately, Discogs seems, increasingly, to be a marketplace of novice sellers who do not value, understand, or seem to care at all, about grading. So, we've decided to detail a few aspects about condition here, and how we see it.

Since we list more products than humanly possibly to listen to (play grade), understand that we grade 99% of our items *visually*. That being said, our approach is to conservatively grade all products. If you'd like an item play graded, please request us to do so *prior* to placing an order.

There are two condition grades allowed for an item on Discogs. The first grade is for the "Media", the second grade is for the "Sleeve". These grades are based in Vinyl Record terminology but can be applied to other formats. For example, a Cassette's "Media" is the Cassette Tape(s) itself, and the "Sleeve" is the J-Card(s) and other non-"case" art elements. Likewise, a CD's "Media" is the actual Disc, and the "Sleeve" is the Booklet, Traycard, Digipak, Sleeve, and/or Slipcase, etc. If all units of Media, or elements of what constitute the "Sleeve" are not in the same condition the lowest element condition is used.

CASSETTE TAPES:
Our highest grade for a Still Sealed Cassette is M / NM.
Our highest grade for an opened CD is NM / NM.
Cassette cases are not graded.

All cassette tapes have pressure pads in place when listed, and are checked again at time of shipment. We usually only sell tapes that are visually clean and seem well cared for. Any exceptions to this are graded conservatively. Tapes are not play graded so can only be sold as is. We can only assume that Still Sealed tapes are fully functional - please understand that when purchasing and our AS IS sale policy.

CDs/DVDs:
Our highest grade for a Still Sealed CD is M / NM.
Our highest grade for an opened CD is NM / NM.
CD cases are not graded.

We generally only sell CDs with light signs of use. On the rare occasion, a CD has more wear we will detail its issues in the condition comments. We can only assume that Still Sealed discs are mint - please understand that when purchasing and our AS IS sale policy.

8-TRACKS / REEL-TO-REEL TAPES / LASERDISCS / VHS TAPES / etc:
Currently, we do not have the ability to test these formats and are graded visually, and conservatively. Although our average is very good, as a result, we can’t warranty these items. We can only assume that Still Sealed items are mint - please understand that when purchasing and our AS IS sale policy.

VINYL RECORDS:
M (Mint):
As per Discogs: "Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played. Should be used sparingly as a grade."
For us, the "Mint" grade is exclusive to Still Sealed Items, and (sometimes) for Unplayed Items that were issued unsealed - usually by super indie/boutique labels. Obviously, one can only assume a Still Sealed item to be mint, but in reality nothing in this world is truly mint. No, we do not re-seal anything, Ever. Only flat Still Sealed records are sold. If we think there's a possibility of a dish warp, we usually open it. If you want a Still Sealed record opened prior to shipping, please let us know in the Discogs order details at the time of payment. Although we pack thoughtfully, we will hot be held responsible for seam splits of sealed records. We can only assume that Still Sealed discs are mint - please understand that when purchasing and our AS IS sale policy.

NM / M- (*NEAR* Mint / Mint Minus):
As per Discogs: "A nearly perfect record (tape, CD, etc). The record should show no obvious signs of wear."
Aside from new items (issued unsealed), NM / M- is the highest grade a non-still sealed item get from us. NM / M- items will possibly be unplayed but definitely have little to no wear!

VG+ (Very Good +):
As per Discogs: "Will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it."

VG (Very Good):
As per Discogs: "Noticeable groove wear and light scratches. Surface noise will not overpower the music."
In our opinion, depending on the type of music, your playback equipment, a VG record will be just fine to most buyers. It won't have scratches you can feel - only surface marks.

G+ (Good Plus):
As per Discogs: "Can play without skipping. Significant scratches, surface noise, and groove wear."
A "Good Plus" record is not good. It's worn, may have scratches you can feel, but it does play, and probably with a lot of noise. For the most part, we only offer really rare stuff at this grade.

G (Good):
As per Discogs: "Can play without skipping. Significant scratches, surface noise, and groove wear."
Again, a "Good" record is not good. It's worn, but it does play, may have scratches you can feel, and probably with a lot of noise. For the most part, we only offer really rare stuff at this grade.

F (Fair) and P (Poor): Less than 1% of items we sell get this grade, and are usually just used to get your attention. The comments will detail issues with F, or P, graded items.

• DISCOGS SHIPPING RATE SYSTEM •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

In November 2020, Discogs updated their shipping system. This new system requires sellers to establish a rate to be applied to every item offered for sale on Discogs. Problem with this system is that it only specifically addresses five format types: "Large Vinyl", "Small Vinyl", "CDs", "Cassettes" and "DVD/Blu-rays". This means that any item that is not one of these format types, or is a combination of format types, must have a rate. These rates that have to be blanket are inaccurate. So, contact us.

• DOMESTIC SHIPPING •
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

We ship via:

• USPS MEDIA MAIL® [NOT available to Alaska, Hawaii, FPO/APO] [subject to postal inspection; we WILL NOT be responsible for theft, damage, etc, when the USPS opens your package ... we recommend insurance]

• USPS FIRST-CLASS MAIL®

• USPS PRIORITY MAIL®
[As the Discogs system does not allow us to determine specific rates based on your zip code, and Priority service carries zone-specific pricing, rates are based on what it would take for the farthest zone from us. If this rate is an issue, make your order, but do not complete payment! We will adjust payment based on your zone, and send a new invoice. Once a payment is made, we will not adjust a shipping rate.]

• USPS EXPRESS MAIL®

As required by Discogs, shipping rates are now assigned to all items. This system is not perfect. If something seems high, it's probably because the item is not a format recognized by the rate system.

The Discogs system currently only addresses five (5) format types:
[1] "Vinyl (Large)" (i.e. 12", LPs, etc.)
[2] "Vinyl (Small)" (i.e. 7", 45's, etc.)
[3] CD
[4] Cassette
[5] DVD/Blu-ray

That means other format types, or combinations of formats, (i.e. 8-Tracks, Shellac, MiniDisc, Reel-To-Reel, DVD-A, an LP+CD, etc.) are NOT recognized and have blanket rates that are obviously incorrect. Please address concerns PRIOR to purchase.

As per Discogs' terms:
"Buyers are responsible for any and all customs fees, import taxes, or other delivery-related charges once the item has been shipped."

We do not undervalue items.

Multi-unit/disc sets, records with heavy packaging, etc. usually weigh more and affect total weight.
For larger amounts, or for additional shipping methods, please write us.

For payment of pricier, rare items, and large orders when using PayPal, CC's, etc (all non-cash payment methods) we are forced to REQUIRE TRACKING & INSURANCE. This means the use of USPS EXPRESS MAIL with FULL INSURANCE (and thus Full Value Declaration). Unless you want to pay with USPS Money Order, USD Cash, Venmo, or CashApp, there will be no exceptions on this policy. Additionally, if paying with PayPal, please note: We are REQUIRED to ship to your PayPal address [NOT YOUR DISCOGS ADDRESS]. Please make sure it's correct!

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Unfortunately, we cannot ship everywhere in the world.
• To many countries, we can ship via USPS INTERNATIONAL FIRST-CLASS PACKAGE MAIL® .
• To countries where we have had numerous problems with shipments, or customs (Italy, Mexico, Russia, Middle East, etc), we can ONLY ship via USPS INTERNATIONAL EXPRESS MAIL®
• To where we can ship, rates vary (depending on country).

Without exception, tracking is required on ALL shipments. We reserve the right, and at our discretion, to require USPS INTERNATIONAL EXPRESS MAIL® and/or Insurance for more expensive items/larger orders. All shipments via USPS INTERNATIONAL EXPRESS MAIL® are insured for the full amount that your country allows. We will not undervalue items. And we will not be held responsible for the remainder amount beyond the insurance limit of your country. You agree to do your research PRIOR to purchase, and payment.
