There was a Reddit post where the pic seems to have been taken down that would verify that ignorance is bliss on this one. It was really bad. Like bad enough that this was the second worst PR FedEx got yesterday

Oh yeah. They’re fairly unapologetic. Just “how it works.”

Some of these are outrageously priced even if it were on discogs. That said, someone here better pick this one up, best price you'll probably ever see

Will one of you please buy this. I keep putting it in a basket, rationalising thst tyr postage and customs will be too high, taking it out and then adding it again. Please put me out of my misery 😂

I was trying to check out there but it would not let me enter my address pal address correctly. Kept trying to take the box number out and only have the street address which wa sobvioauly no good

Delighted i didn’t get it perversely as the potential customs price was haunting me!

If it was that price in the EU, or even a bit more, it’d have been gone before you’d heard of it. It’s the customs and shipping that’s the killer from there! One day they’ll repress this, one day...

Most of the damage I have had has been from records being able to move in the mailer and not its quality. Unless it’s abused the ones in flimsy are usually fine once they’re tightly packed. I got one in a whiplash last week that was fucked because it was a thin single LP and it hadn’t been packed out enough to stop it moving inside.

That's really the key to successfully mailing records. Just keep them from moving around in the mailer. If you take two pieces of cardboard and make a vinyl record sandwich and tape the corners of the cardboard tight, then place in mailer, wah-lah, no damage. That's how I do it at least. I also always give the mailer a little shake after it is taped up and before I send it, just to listen and make sure there isn't even the slightest bit of movement inside. Haven't had a single complaint yet. Then again, I don't work at a label and am not responsible for mailing out 1000 records a day. So I can spend a few more minutes packing it properly.

They're selling $500 to $700 records, but they wouldn't accept my $2 below list offer on their $20 copy of Coltrane Plays the Blues. Stingy bastards.
