**** HANDLING FEES ****

 There is a minimum fee of $1.00 for handling record albums. In some instances, the handling is $1.50, depending on packing requirements.These basic fees cover the costs involving corrugated paperboard mailers, packing tape & bubble wrap. All shipping & handling charges will be declared to the buyer via e-mail or telephone before payment is expected. In most eBay transactions the shipping/handling charges are described in the eBay item description. When bidding on large LP lots of say, six albums or more, keep in mind that due to weight & special packing, reinforcement is often required.
I reserve the right to charge up to a fifty cents per-record handling fee in multiple album shipments. These handling fees are usually reflected in the item's description.
There is no handling fee for CDs and other small items if U.S. Postal Service-supplied packaging is used. This usually means Priority Mail. Otherwise there is a small fee.
**** PACKING ****

Packing Record Albums:
I always use mostly new corrugated paperboard mailers w/ appropriate packing material for up to six records. All records are separated from the jackets to prevent seam splits while in-transit. Also, I always put albums in a store bag for added safety. For larger shipments I carefully improvise with larger boxes.


Packing Compact Discs:
For domestic mailing, I like to send things Priority Mail in the packaging that the Post Office supplies. The CDs are usually wrapped in appropriate packing material inside the box or reinforced envelope. Sometimes I offer a First Class postage option. In these cases I use a 5x7-manila envelope w/ some light cardboard or small bubble-pack material.
For international mailing I suggest that if the "jewel box" is not sent, if only the disc & inserts are included in the package, that mailing costs can be reduced. Note: the buyer MUST request this option via e-mail BEFORE a final shipping quote is tendered.
