Packaging Tips

To save on postage it is not worth using less packaging, LPs, 78s and Singles are quite robust providing they are not bent, 78s are a little brittle, so it is best to cut squares of thick cardboard slightly larger that the LP sleeve and sandwich the LPs etc between the layers of card.  Adhesive tape this bundle together and then put bubble wrap or (you could use a few layers of newspaper) around this and then put into a final thick paper outer layer.

If using a box to pack materials in then you can use screwed up newspaper or foan chips to pad the box out, all in all the records are more likely to get damaged if they get bent or buckled hence the need to keep them rigid.

We cannot accept any responsibility for any items that arrive damaged or are lost in transit due to poor labelling.  Before sealing and posting your materials check you have enclosed your name, address, telephone number, email address in case we need to contact you, also put your address on the back of the package just in case the postal carrier have to return your package due to non-delivery.
