Since all of our items are factory sealed we will not be responsible for an item's condition unless (you ask us to) inspect it. Even though incorrect, defective or damaged product is very rare, we highly recommend that you allow us to inspect your item before we ship it out. Just let us know by writing INSPECT when making your purchase.
If there is something wrong with your record that could only have been seen by such inspection, and you did not request it, we will not be responsible for it.
Also, many LP buyers prefer to have the disc shipped outside the jacket to minimize damage to the jacket. If you have requested that we inspect the disc, then we'll pack it outside the jacket.

We enclose an actual invoice with your shipment and do not falsify customs valuations.
If you are at a foreign address where there are customs duties, and you have ordered an amount that puts you just over the limit for avoidance of such duties, we're willing to do you the service of discounting the merchandise a little upon request, if you'll allow us to make up for it with an equivalent increase in shipping and handling fees.
Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.
