SEALED? Overrated!

Are new records always sealed?

Yes, usually. However, exceptions include those that are shipped from the record label or the distributor in open polyethylene record sleeves and the records I take images of to provide you with seeing the color and art instead of the just you telling you what color it is. In either case, the actual record and the cover will be placed inside a soft 3mm record sleeve when shipped to you. And that's how you should store your vinyl anyway. And it's better for shipping because it eliminates seam splits.

NOTE: To preserve the integrity of the packaging and to those of you like me who want the hype stickers and original stickers, I will include each sticker on the new outer sleeve 99% of the time in the exact place and position it was originally located. (A few stickers can be impossible to remove without tearing. In those rare cases, I'll still include it, just with the shrink stuck on the back and placed inside the cover’s pocket.)

Some labels ship their records without shrink but inside an outer open sleeve for protection. So please don't think it isn't new because of that. It's just how some of the indie labels ship their records, which again is much better than “sealed” shrink.

IMPORTANT NOTE HERE:

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SEAM SPLITS.

I will gladly open your sealed record upon your request and carefully place the actual record in a soft 3mm sleeve and ship both the empty cover and the record inside the sleeve but separate. Ta da… no seam splits! You should store your records that way.

QUALITY CONCERNS...

Please note that NOT all NEW and SEALED records come from the pressing plant totally flawless. While it's extremely rare, some newly pressed vinyl can be damaged: scratched, warped, cracked, mislabeled, dirty, dusty, etc. PLEASE do not assume I sent you a bad record intentionally. Just shoot me a message and we can replace it if I have one in stock. And if I tell you an open record is unplayed, then it is, regardless of any damage that occurred before the label shipped it to me. BUT IF YOU HAVE DAMGE OR SCRATCHES after buying an unplayed record, PLEASE contact me immediately and we will find a solution to your satisfaction. Just realize that not all records come out of the factory perfect.

SHIPPING...

I am dealing with cancer, and NINEVOLT is just me. Therefore, I have put a little longer shipping times on my records to counter those days when it's hard to even get out of bed. The timeframe doesn't mean I will always take those few extra days to ship your record, but instead, it gives me a bit of a reprieve if I get weak on occasion and find it hard to get out of bed one day. So I TOTALLY APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING and SUPPORT.

IT'S JUST ME.

I do this on my own and selling records (especially new ones) isn't as profitable as you might think. So why do I do it? Because like you, I love music. I live for it. I write songs and play guitar so this is natural stuff to me. It's my vibe and a love affair and my life. I love turning people on to new bands, new songs, new sounds. And I hope I have bands and artists you might not see everywhere. Although she's amazing, I won't be selling Taylor Swift records as it's just too competitive to make a even a dollar.

PRICING... Arrrggghhh.

I know some records are expensive. Well, most of them are. But the profit margins on new ones are silly bad. So, to keep my water warm and my microwave working, I've got to turn a profit. Right? And not being some behemoth monster record store or a big box retailer like Target, I don't get those deep discounts or markdowns on my wholesale costs. And darn it, everything is just expensive. So bear with me. I'll do the best I can.

I KNOW IT TOTALLY BLOWS WHEN YOUR RECORD ARRIVES DAMAGED...

Again, I can't be responsible for seam splits... BUT you have the option to have me carefully and delicately open any sealed record and re-packaged with the cover and record shipped in a soft 3mm sleeve together but separate. (Used records are open so they obviously ship that way.) And you'll have any hype sticker and any other labels reapplied.

JUST SAY SO IN A MESSAGE WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER if you want me to open your sealed record

Also, if you are ordering an expensive record (around $75 or more), I'll ALWAYS put extra cardboard flats inside the package to keep the shipping box firm and the record protected. And in the case of box sets or a multiple records order that has some weight to it, I will ALWAYS enforce the corners of the outside with cardboard strips for further protection. My packaging is superb.

IS IT COLORED VINYL...

If I know the record is a color variant, it will always say COLOR in the listing. The image will almost always feature the color and be listed in in the description.

If it's BLACK, there usually no mention of the word COLOR. Maybe I'll change that practice and just put BLACK in the listing.

ALSO NOTE THAT some labels make so many variant colors for the same title. And believe it or not, if I order multiple colors of the same title, sometimes they aren't even marked giving me no idea which variants I received. So at times I have to split the seal.

PLEASE shoot me a message with any questions. OR any specifics in shipping your records.

And thanks for the support!
