I am happy to post internationally and will combine shipments for more than one purchase. Please contact me for a quote on specific items. All records will be removed from the outer over to minimise risk of damage. Records will be posted in professional cardboard cruciform mailers along with two cardboard stiffeners to protect the record. I am using UK Royal Mail and will not be using any other alternative, as it is too time consuming to arrange couriers etc. Grading Used 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. Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of 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 no 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.
