Posting albums/LP's?

[gamezanstuf]

Just wondering if any of the members have any experience posting albums/lp's through aussie post. I have quite a few rare lp's I'd like to sell but have no idea how to post them. I would want to send registered post as well if that helps.

Cheers

individually posted records need card stiffeners.

If you want to list some as bulk lots, you could probably offer Local Pick-up for free and not worry about postage.

I just sold a 7" record and was able to send it as a 500g parcel rate ($6.60), adding Registered Post would be just another $3.20. Might be a good idea to buy a bulk lot of record mailers beforehand, if you plan to sell them individually.

Should have been able to send that as a large letter

Cardboard is the best thing, padded ebevlopes or LP's are too floppy. cardboard has more strength in it and can post it for same price

I put the record between two pieces of cardboard and then wrapped it in bubblewrap, so it was probably just outside the 20mm range. I actually send it Express and can't remember whether it was sent as a large letter or not so I shouldn't have said that. Memory is fading and I rarely post records anyway.

Cutting squares from cardboard is the cheaper option but can't go wrong by buying bulk lots of record mailers if you want a professional touch and expect the records to sell for a fair bit.
