About Us
Terms
Payment
Payment is preferred via PAYPAL, but I will also accept payment from UK based buyers via cheque or postal orders, but if you chose to pay via these, you items will not be despatched until after 5 working days when the payment has cleared.
Shipping
I am offering FREE P&P to UK buyers and as a point of fairness to International Buyers, I have deducted the cost for this from the P&P costs quoted for all non UK buyers. Please be assured, P&P charges are only to cover costs incurred and represent no profit to me.
All packages are sent in appropriate secure packaging to ensure the item reaches you in the same condition as it was when despatched. UK packages are sent 2nd class signed for and International packages are sent Airmail/Signed for, which means they are insured and meet EBAY/Paypal requirements for seller/buyer protection.
I always aim to dispatch the package either on the day of purchase or the next day, and update the status Ebay either on the day of dispatch or the following day, so that you are fully aware of the progress of dispatched items.
For LPs & 45s with picture sleeves, I always remove the record from the outer sleeve (to avoid seam split whilst in transit) and then insert the record and sleeve into a brand new 450g polythene sleeve.
If you purchase multiple items, I will identify the cheapest tracked method to send the item, which may be cheaper than the quoted rates, so I would advise you to wait before paying the Ebay issued invoice.......but I promise that the shipping rates will never exceed those quoted in the listing.

I respectfully request that before returning, you please contact me and advise me of the situation
If there is not a fault but another reason you wish to return it, please contact me and I will do my utmost to resolve the situation, but be advised that I will not reimburse the return postage costs if the item is being returned for any reason other than being faulty or “not as described” unless it has been agreed prior to being returned.
Terms
Payment must be received within 5 days or I reserve the right to cancel the auction and relist. If there will be an unavoidable delay in sending payment , please advise me to avoid the sale being cancelled.

Grading
Records: NM/NM
Sleeve: EX++
Labels: NM/NM
The grading standard used is the UK Record Collector magazine gradings
Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays n o major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Sorry, but I do not send packages to Central & South America, a number of Eastern European countries and Africa due to high fraud rates.
