This is the responsibility of the Postal Services. 

We are willing to assist you in the investigation of the loss or damage of your package, providing we are informed within the below time-scales. 

 

We send by First class Postal services. Most countries are safe to use this service, but if you want you can choose, before confirming your order, to use registered and insured mail which cost SEK 60 extra per shipment. 

This is recommended for Latin America, African countries and some former Russian countries among others. Please ask if you want. For large orders we are able to send by courier door-to-door service at a generous rate. Please ask for prices. 

We use double padded custom made sturdy packaging with extra corners to protect the records.

We recommend you to choose new/shrinkwrapped to be opened and packed in the same way as explained above. 

Please do so by telling it in the comment field, before confirming your order.

If shrink-wrapped records are shipped unopened the risk for seam split ( the record cut a hole in the spine of the cover ) is strong. 

We can neither guarantee or will accept any reclaims if records are not separated from the covers.
