Shipping & Returns
Shipping & Returns
Should a record prove unsatisfactory a full refund will be made, but we ask that buyers notify us within 10 days of receipt of the item. In some cases we may request that the item be returned to us for examination prior to the issuing of a refund. If we are convinced that the item returned is identical to the one sent, and that any faults match those described by the customer, a full refund will be issued as well as the cost of returning the item to us.
We do our very best to grade records honestly and accurately, but we do occasionally make mistakes, and our priority is to rectify problems to the satisfaction of the customer. With a stock of over 30,000 LPs we do not claim to have auditioned every record in our catalogue, but every LP is examined carefully during the listing process and any suspicious looking marks are auditioned before grading.

GRADING
The classical record is graded first and the sleeve or box second. A near mint LP in a fine sleeve would be listed NM / EX+
NM near mint. Looks almost new. No blemishes or marks and few, if any, spindle marks on the labels. Sleeve will be similarly unmarked, with no creases or tears and no handwriting.
EX+ excellent plus. Perhaps a few light marks or scuffs that do not affect sound and very few spindle marks on the labels. Sleeve may show more signs of wear, with perhaps the odd crease or ringwear and maybe a handwritten name or number on the back, but still in fine condition.
EX excellent. Shows more signs of use, with perhaps a scuff or two or light hairlines, none of which will produce unwanted and intrusive sounds. Any dubious looking marks will be auditioned prior to listing. Sleeves may be a little more worn, with perhaps a crease or two and may have either a number or handwriting by the previous owner or original retailer.
VG+ very good plus. Records in this category are of the rarer variety and are included because of their scarcity and their potential desirability to collectors. Even so, we list very few items in this category. Heavier marks and scuffs, a few of which may sound on playback. Generally more worn appearance, with sleeve perhaps rather grubby and with small tears or creases.
