Information on the Retrobloke Mail Order Service
Postage
We try to keep our postage prices as low as possible. All our prices are based on weight of the complete parcel. We are happy to send items worldwide. All Overseas parcels are sent via Airmail, and high value parcels are sent via registered priority airmail. Also remember that double LPs are generally twice the weight of a regular LP.
Postage is automatically applied according to the weight of your order when you check out

Packaging
We send all our records in ‘for the purpose’ Heavy Duty mailers with card re-inforcement. We always take care to pack and label our records well, and always listen to any special instructions our customers may request.
Payment
Our online shop accepts several kinds of payments through Paypal. As business sellers, you do not have to already have a Paypal account to pay us, you can simply use your credit or debit card.

Personal Collection
Our Mail order office operates completely separately from our London Shop. You will not find the records listed for sale on this website on our Shop, instead the Shop has its own, entirely different stock of 40,000 Records.
However, you can arrange to collect items available on this site from our London shop if you email us in advance. You will need to allow us at least two days before you can collect, and the items will be held for you to be collected on a specified day.
You can either pay us through this site before you collect, or pay in the shop when you collect the items. Our shop accepts cash, cheques and most credit and debit cards.
Grading
Grading information is also given on the front page of our ebay shop.
How It Works:
Eg: EX/EX = First EX refers to the record, the second the sleeve (if picture sleeve is included).
If the grading shown above shows just the first initials (eg: VG/- ) then that means the record
is graded, but comes with plain or company sleeve.
RECORD CONDITION
MINT =As new condition, unplayed, often Sealed.
EX = Excellent condition, no noticeable marks and like new.
VG =Very Good condition, normal wear, maybe a few very light marks, plays great.
G = Noticable marks but still plays ok.
F =Fair condition, marked and some problems. There will be more information to describe
the various faults. Generally we avoid selling 'F' records unless very rare.
SLEEVE CONDITION
EX= Excellent condition, no noticable folds or creases, no sticker marks, As New.
VG= Very good condition, maybe some very light/normal wear,
G= Some wear, possibly creasing, light or medium marks.
F= In Fair condition, possible heavy creasing, tears, damage, defacement.
A Plus or Minus sign after a grade means it is either slightly better or slightly worse than indicated above.
While 99% of our customers agree with our grades, we realise that it is a subjective issue, and opinions
can occasionally differ. However, please buy with confidence, we have sold over 50,000 records through
the mail, and always do our best to resolve any differences in opinion.
