The New Birth* ‎– Comin' From All Ends

I do NOT send photos for low value items. If it is less than $15 please do NOT bother about asking for photos of the item. Additionally, I do NOT send photos for NEW items.

Please read my profile at http://discogs.sitiosdesbloqueados.info//stickfiguredistro to learn more about my grading philosophy.

I do NOT accept offers for items that you are NOT allowed to place offers for through Discogs. THIS is NON negotiable. Buyers who refuse to ACCEPT this policy will be BLOCKED. I do NOT have time to haggle over a dollar for a $5 item. And here is some food for thought, if I was willing to accept offers on items I would raise my prices 20-25%. Sellers who accept offers for items are already charging more than they want. You're not "getting ahead" by trying to convince sellers to lower their prices.

Stickfigure is NOT a large Mailorder company like Amazon etc. etc. What you are charged for shipping really is the best I can offer since I do not qualify for commercial shipping rates. Please do not waste my time trying to get me to lower my shipping rates for your order, you WILL be blocked.

FOR US customers: Unfortunately I am not able to offer last minute Priority Mail shipping. My local Post Office has delayed Priority Mail parcels by a business day in the past so I am not able to offer the service of shipping items that need to arrive with in 2 - 3 business days since chances are very good that it will sit at my local Post Office for a business day before it ships. :-(

Unfortunately the US Postal Service likes to take it's time with scanning Media Mail parcels. It can take upwards of 2 weeks before Media Mail parcels are scanned during transit to you. :-(

INTERNATIONAL shipping:

It now appears that international mail is mostly back to normal, however it can still take 1 - 5 months before your order arrives, because that is how slow international mail could be before the pandemic. Small orders, less than 1.8 kg, are shipped via Asendia USA - https://www.asendiausa.com/ - (except for Canada) who are very good. A LOT of the parcels shipped to Europe via Asendia USA are delivered in less than 2 weeks.

Discogs is requiring that ALL sellers now have a shipping policy as of November 2020, so that you the potential buyer know the price for shipping in advance. For large orders if it turns out that your order can be shipped for less I will refund you the difference.

If you're order is really big and the Discogs shipping policies tell you that the shipping price is $1000 than please message me about this problem. Please tell me how many items you are ordering, what kind of items and where you are located so that I can quote you the correct shipping rate.
A lot of times, but not all the time UPS is cheaper than the US Postal Service. I will tell you which service is cheaper and what the price is for that shipping service. If you choose UPS to have your order shipped, customs & duties are almost ALWAYS higher uS versus the USPS, unless you are already paying VAT (UK & EU) or GST (Australia & New Zealand) in which case I don't think there is a different in customs for either shipping service. However Discogs does NOT collect the VAT (UK & EU) for orders over 150 EUR and 135 GPB so customs will be higher uS for those orders. For GST (Australia) if your order is over 1000 AUD Discogs will not collect the GST, for orders that size customs will be more for UPS than USPS. UPS parcels have a brokerage fee. It's been my experience that customs do pay more attention to parcels shipped vis UPS.

I am still willing to ship CDs with OUT the jewel cases for International customers to save money on shipping but you are going to have to place the order first, do NOT send payment right away, send me a message stating NO jewel cases and then wait for me to charge you the correct amount for shipping with OUT the jewel cases before sending payment. However, this is only valid for orders of 5 or more cds. For smaller orders of fewer cds there isn't a difference in price.

And lastly for International customers. I do NOT ship parcels via ed mail. If you want a shipping service that is just as reliable as ed mail ask for Priority Mail shipping rates. Priority mail is insured with confirmed tracking and will arrive anywhere in the world within 5 to 10 business days. ed mail is just too much work. It requires special packaging (paper tape) AND I have to stand in line at the Post Office to ship the parcel.

Attention Brazilian customers: Starting in 2020 you have to provide your tax identification number (company or personal) for me to ship your order to Brazil.

All orders are usually shipped within 3 business days of receiving payment. Most orders are shipped within 1-2 business days of payment being received.
