The fine print

Free pickup in Vancouver. Everywhere else in Canada ships by weight.

Shipping & pickup

Pickup in Vancouver is free at any size, and it gets you at the new arrivals first.

Everywhere else in Canada ships by weight, worked out at checkout. Records are heavy, so the shop works in boxes. A box holds 12. A full box ships free anywhere in Canada. So does $250, whichever comes first.

Returns

If a record arrives worse than I graded it, tell me within 14 days. I'll email a Canada Post return label as a QR code. Take the package to any post office. No printer, no cost to you. Store credit for the full amount once it's back.

Otherwise sales are final.

The ritual, before it reaches you

Played first

Every record gets a needle test before it's listed. If it doesn't play clean, it doesn't get posted.

Matrix-matched

The dead-wax runouts are read character by character and matched to the exact Discogs pressing. This one, not one like it.

Graded Goldmine

Record and sleeve graded separately to the Goldmine standard, as honestly as my ears and eyes allow. The grade sets the price.

Washed

Every record runs through the HumminGuru washer. Goat-hair brushes, alcohol-free fluid. It dries on the rack before it's shelved. Dust is not a genre.

Fresh outer

Slipped into a brand-new outer sleeve, so the jacket you get stays the jacket I graded.

Packed apart

Before boxing, the record comes out of the jacket and rides beside it. The old mailer trick that stops seam splits in transit.
