Insurance will be required for U.S. shipments only (prohibitive to foreign countries) due to uncertain postal handling. We've experienced a 10% failure rate in safe record delivery since the post office does not distinguish a fragile item from a box of books, which are typically sent via media mail. Therefore, we offer 3 levels of protected shipping, at different expense levels, from which to choose. If these methods of shipping are not acceptable to you, please do not bid. Should you be the 1 out of 10 that receives a broken record, please allow us to help get you reimbursed BEFORE you decide to leave feedback. Thank you! Be aware that we do not offer refunds or replacements for broken records. If the record is important to you we strongly advise avoiding media shipping.

SAFE is described above and is shipped media rate with an additional $4.00 in packaging and materials fees plus insurance.

SAFER is the above (as shown) sent by priority mail which speeds delivery and means less time in the postal system. Add an additional $4.00 in packaging and materials fees plus insurance. This will be the default method of shipping which will appear on your invoice.

SAFEST is the above packing within a priority box containing additional cushioning (A "box-within-a-box"). Contact us for the additional fees associated with this special handling.

Additional records won within a 7 day period will be combined for some cost savings on shipping and materials.
