Is shipping vinyl to the desert safe? I live in Las Vegas and the average summer temperature is near 110 degrees. Most USPS and UPS trucks don’t have AC in the cargo areas.
Living in Tucson, I have decided not to order any lps in the summer. Even if the trucks are air conditioned, if they leave the package on your porch, it's toast (literally). Wait until xmas!
Hello Vegasears! I've been wondering the same thing. Would like to round out my Led Zep Classic collection (love that super vinyl -as quiet as a CD!) but fear the searing 'Vegas sun. If you "gotta have it", call the seller and ask them for advice. If they give you a money back guarantee -you're in! I'd let the package sit unopened in the house a couple of days to make sure it has time to adjust. P.S. Will be 109 degrees Saturday & Sunday. Stop by McCarran curbside ckeck in and say "Hey!".
I live outside of Palm Springs. Temps are unreal. It is supposed to be 118 this weekend. I have had several LP shipmets arrive in summer months with no problem. The records are warm and toasty upon arrival but not a problem as my seller ships mutiple LPs packed tightly together in a box.
I call my daughter everyday at 11:30am, to remind her to get the mail. Then I wait on the phone while she goes out. That way she doesn't forget ( she is 14). Records have been packed as described above. So far, so good.
