| Grading | Ordering and Payment | Shipping | Returns| Grading | I use the following gradings:
SS (still sealed - hopefully no comment needed!)
NEW (never used, looks like "just manufactured")
M (the same as NEW if a record was manufactured in 1970s-1980s - it would be very strange to grade 'new' a LP from 1970, even if unplayed!)
M- (record is almost perfect, cover shows only slightest signs of being used)
EX+ (too good for EX but not deserves M-)
EX (cover with signs of use, for example, with initial ring wear or bent corners, record has liner scuffs or maybe some inaudible marks but plays fine)
EX- (cover with more evident signs of use - I usually give details in item descritpions; record has some superficial marks and plays a bit noisy but still OK)
VG+ (cover with ring wear and/or slightly worn edges etc., record is visibly used and plays with dozens of superficial noises but still no scratches or skips)
VG (cover visibly used and worn, record may have light scratches and play noisy but still with no skips; I also usually grade warped records as VG)
If the above policy leaves any doubts, please refer to GEMM's generally accepted Grading Standard | | | | Breakdown by condition | | | |
| Ordering and Payment | GEMM ordering available
You may order this seller's items using GEMM's convenient & secure shopping cart.GEMM Processes Payment
GEMM processes your payment and forwards it to seller. Seller ships directly to you. No surcharge
The seller has reduced prices to completely offset GEMM's 15% surcharge. You pay nothing above the seller's normal pricing for the convenience and security of ordering from this seller and paying through GEMM. (No 'free text' ordering)
This seller does not allow the option of typing text descriptions of items instead of clicking on individual 'order' buttons. This is probably because they are a high-volume seller that needs orders to be in a standard format. Forms of payment accepted:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Cash, Personal Check, Certified Check, Postal Money Order, International Money Order |
| Shipping | | All dispatches are made by registered airmail (surface is too slow and may be recommended only for Germany, Finland and Poland). Please be patient, even airmail from Russia overseas usually takes 2-3 weeks, and do not worry - losses are very rare, the worst thing possible is delay. Please contact me if you have any questions. 1-2 7" singles or 1 10" single - $10, 1-2 LPs - $15, 3-5 LPs - $25, 6 LPs and more - please wait for invoice; 1-2 CDs - $6, 3-4 CDs - $10, 5-7 CDs - $15, 8-11 CDs - $25, 12 CDs and more - please wait for invoice. If you prefer surface shipping, please specify it in your order and wait for invoice (or contact me before ordering). |
| Returns | | Refund is guaranteed if you find a record and/or a cover not in accurate condition or incomplete (for example, if a poster was announced but appeared to be missing). Please be accurate and return me the items you're not satisfied with in the same condition as you got them. Please be so kind as ask for refund & process return not later than 10 days after you received the item(s); if you hold it for longer period, no claims would be accepted, sorry. And please don't ask for refund if you simply didn't like the music, all requests of this sort will be ignored, very sorry. If an item was damaged in the post due to inaccurate packaging, you may return the item and I'll refund your losses (including re-shipping charges of course!) - you just have to enclose a document from your post office certifying that the dispatch arrived damaged. |
