- EXPRESS MAIL MEANS REGISTRED MAIL!!! When see the shipping price.
- FREE SHIPPING IS ONLY AN OFFER FOR NORMAL MAIL NON-REGISTRED !! If you want registred, you ask me and just need to pay the difference.
- SHIPPING DELAYS: please be patient, on some countrys sometimes the problem is with your post office because there was no phone number written on the
adress, as a result the package maybe be lost for one month and then finally appears. make sure your adress is complete

1- IF YOU ARE GOING TO PAY USING BANK TRANSFER, PLEASE WARN ME ABOUT IT USING THE NORMAL DISCOGS MESSAGE BOX. IF YOU DON'T WARN ME, I ASSUME YOU'RE GOING TO USE PAYPAL AND DON'T GO CHECK BANK . THAT'S GOING TO DELAY THE ORDER.

3- SHIPPING WORLDWIDE (OUT OF EUROPE) IN CASE OF DOUBT, ME BEFORE PAYING. AUTOMATIC SHIPPING CALCULATION SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK WELL

4- IF YOU CHOOSE NON-REGISTRED MAIL THE PACK GOES AT YOUR OWN RISK. BY PAYING AUTOMATICLY STANDARD MAIL IT MEENS YOU ACCEPT THE RISK AND RESPONSABILITY. - So, what warranty do you have that i really have sended the pack? My and the obvious seller needs: i'm here to sell and want you to come back and buy again! It's rare a pack get lost, but keep in mind that "cheaper" is the price you pay for the risk of a lost pack. If you ask i can send you a photo of the pack with our both adresses, but it's not legal to photograph after the oficial mail stamp is done at the post office, they just won't allow that. I am myself a buyer and a music collector, and i allways choose normal mail, non-registred, because i know that 99% of times the pack allways arrive. But i'm not giving a negative to anyone if the pack didn't arrive after choosing normal mail because it was my own resposibility to take that risk. I hope you do the same and accept this before you order.

MORE ABOUT NON-REGISTRED MAIL: WITHOUT REGISTRATION THE PACKAGE GOES WITH NO TRACKING NUMBER, SO IT’S NOT POSSIBLE TO FIND A LOST PACK, AND YOU CANNOT COMPLAIN AT THE POST OFFICE; PAYPAL OR TO Discogs. WITHOUT REGISTRED MAIL, I CAN’T HELP YOU, AND THE PACK GOES AT YOUR OWN RISK. NORMALY ARRIVES OK, BUT I MUST WARN HERE ABOUT IT.
AND MORE: Shipping packs non-registred (Normal airmail) usually stays more days at post office, which means that sometimes, other heavy packs are kept on top of it, causing damage on the bottom packs. Sometimes can happen the CDs plastic jewell case arrive broken. Besides that, i found out that it's also because sometimes post office mailmen put the postmark with a lot of strenght and brake the plastic jewell case (it's stupid, but I've saw that happen)

5 - INTERNATIONAL WORLDWIDE MAIL OUTSIDE EUROPE & TRACKING Nº: - Normal non-registred shipping have only a code number which CAN NOT be tracked on the website (only registred ones can be introduced on www.ctt.pt ). But the code generated (UB00.......PT) it's a proof that the pack was sended, because it's impossible to send any pack outside Europe without getting this oficial registration code number, which confirm that the pack was sented and can be detected through which correct day and hour was sent..

5 b) - WHY WORLDWIDE SHIPPING SOMETIMES FOR SOME FAR AWAY COUNTRYS SHOWS IS EXPENSIVE ( A text i wrote to an asian buyer as an exemple ): "Well, it's the same for 1 or 2 CDs...i know it's expensive (or not!?), but i never sold anything to UAE ( united arabs emirads , correct ?) , and my experience is that in the past i've made some errors selling to faraway countrys outside Europe, i explain what error: when i had to pay for the shipping at the local post office the total amount was a lot much expensive then what i've charge to the client...i end up giving for free the CDs. But the price increase is also because since 2 years from now, every shipping outside Europe requests from the seller that he must write lots of detail information on the shipping company website and that time costs money, because it's never less then half an hour, and that it's work!!. As you can see by now, the trouble and expenses i have just to sell a 6€ CD outside Europe reflects the price. My guess is the governement doesn't like people making business outside Europe. So, to avoid bad surprises i put an high value price. What i can do , if you trust me, is selling you the CD using the 16€ registred shipping you pay....and then, when i found out what was my real expensive costs in the end, i can refound you if the money you pay was too much. I would be doing this not just to win a client, but also to know by experience the real costs. Because i have try to simulate on my post office website this shipping to your country and the result was 134€ all the time, so something is wrong, and i realize i can only know the truth when i reach the post office and the mail man give me the price.
I will wait for your decision
kind regards

CDs : Since most jewel cases are replaceable I only rate the inserts (front and back) if the jewel case has shelf wear, price sticker residue, etc it will not be listed here. The exception will be non standard jewel cases such as colored cases, digipaks and doubles.
About grading covers of CDs with extra slipcase (Cardbox-Package/ cartoon slipback): I don't consider that the real cover, because when I grade a CD cover/Sleeve I give VG+ (exemple) to the art cover sleeve (front and back art cover, and front usualy opens as a little booklet), and that's what i consider the real Sleeve/Covers of the CDs. The outside extra Cardbox-Package is something not usual in CDs, only few editions made that extra protection around-outside the real CDs covers/Sleeves, which means it's something outside the plastic jewell case....so i think "why should I use the Discogs Sleeve Condition option on grading an extra Cardbox-Package wich can be only like Good Plus (G+); G or Fair if both real CD covers-sleeves are almost new?. Because there's no 3th grading option for grading extra Cardbox-Package on Discogs, i don't grade Slpcovers/External Cardboard sleeves, but i will mention in the comment "with extra Cardbox-Package".

CDs :VERY RARE THIS SITUATION:To keep the shipping costs lower, Very rarely and if necessary, When I send your 1 CD only pack-order, maybe it's possible that CD goes in a slim jewell case plastic insted of the normal jewell case, it depends how heavy is the CD in its normal jewell case. Sometimes I change the normal CD jewell plastic case for a slim jewell plastic case box to avoid situations of lonely CDs over the 100g weight scale, because one CD 102g heavy pays almost twice the shipping cost price of a 99g heavy CD (which is ridiculous!). I do that but only if it's not sealed, otherway I ask u first if you dont mind that i open the sealed CD, if you still wanted sealed I must charge you the price calculated by its normal heavy...probably more then the up to 99gm heavy pack CD. So, the CD goes in a slim case for CD (like the computer CDs cases), the front art work is on the slim case, back cover goes separate, inside a proper plastic well care and safety protected
..........But only if it's not sealed, otherway I ask u first. If you dont agree, please warn me and i'll do whatever you ask for, like the registred pack option. Or If you dont like the slim jewell case, you can buy a new normal jewell case with 0.5€ and i'll refound you that amount if u ask.
But Why do i bother having all this work,insted of pack the full CD without any trouble and just charge you whatever it costs? because i'm also a buyer, and I hate to buy a 6€ CD and then they charge me 12€ only for shipping costs...many times i give up buying because of that, so i don't want you to give up buying from me when i can reduce the shipping price with a little work.
I just want to make it clear to you that shipping only 1 CD with normal jewell case + package sometimes goes weight around 115g heavy, but with the slim case is 90g heavy....and this ridiculous diference becomes a lot when you know that if the pack weight is over 99g you pay more 5€(+-) or 6(+-) for shipping costs.

ADVISE: PLEASE BE GENTLE WHEN SOME PROBLEM OR DOUBT HAPPENS. THERE'S NO NEED TO MAKE COMPLAINS OR OPEN DISPUTES WHEN BOTH SELLER AND BUYER DIALOGUE FRIENDLY. SOMETIMES SHIPPING IS SLOW FOR SPECIFIC COUNTRY'S MATTERS; SOMETIMES IT CAN HAPPEN ITEMS MEETS THE LABEL CODE NUMBER BUT NOT THE LABEL COLOR; SOMETIMES THE INTERPRETATION OF GRADING IS SUBJECTIV, THAT DISCOGS DOESN'T USE THE "EX" ; "EX+"; "EX-"; "VG++"; "VG-" OR "G++" GRADING , AND BETWEEN A "VG+" AND A "NM" THERE'S ALL THE "EX" ; "EX+"; "EX-"; "VG++" MISSING ; .
IN CASE OF DISPUTE BETWEEN SELLER AND BUYER BECAUSE DIFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT GRADING, WE BOTH CAN REACH AN AGREEMENT ABOUT A PARCIAL OR A TOTAL REFOUND OF THE ITEM, BUT THAT DON'T INCLUDES THE SHIPPING COST. IF YOU ALSO WANT TO BE REFOUND FROM THE SHIPPING COST, YOU NEED TO PACK AND SEND BACK THE RECORD AT YOUR OWN COST, AND ONLY AFTER I RECEIVE THE RECORD I WILL REFOUND YOU FOR THE SHIPPING AND FOR THE ALBUM. BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT ALL MY RECORDS AND CDS HAVE A VERY SMALL MARK WHICH ONLY ME KNOWS HOW TO IDENTIFY IF THAT IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME ITEM I HAVE SHIPPED AND SOLD YOU BEFORE.
IN CASE I DON'T RECOGNIZE IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME ITEM RETURNED, I REPORT THAT TRICK TO THE DISCOGS FRAUDE DEPARTMENT, ACUSING OF CHANGING THE COPYS AND TRYING TO KEEP A BETTER COPY AND THE REFOUND MONEY WITH YOU.

NICE REGARDS AND THANK YOU FOR READING THIS LINES...
