Our dedicated vault team carefully packages and ships all orders within 24 to 48 hours. You will receive a tracking link immediately upon shipment so you can trace your package journey to your sound system.
We ship every vinyl record in premium double walled heavy duty cardboard mailers with thick bubble inserts and extra corner protectors. LPs are placed behind the jacket during transit to completely eliminate seam splits ensuring your record arrives in pristine condition.
To maintain our uncompromising grading integrity and preserve the delicate nature of physical media all vinyl record sales are final. Because our curators double inspect every copy under high intensity light and play test rare releases to verify audio fidelity we guarantee the exact condition and authenticity described before it leaves our vault.
We recommend gently wiping the record with a carbon fiber anti static brush before and after every playback to remove surface dust. For deep cleaning always use specialized alcohol free record cleaning fluid and a microfiber cloth wiping in a gentle circular motion following the grooves.
We strictly adhere to the Goldmine Grading Standard. Every archive copy is meticulously inspected under high intensity light. Any pre owned or rare import pressings are professionally play tested to guarantee the exact audio fidelity and grade described.
A 180g record is significantly thicker and heavier than standard vintage pressings. This added weight provides superior physical stability on the turntable platter reducing wow and flutter during playback and protecting the record from warping over time under changing temperature conditions.
