LP shipping

I'm not going to name any names, yet, but I just gotta get this off my chest.....

I ordered the HIFI News test LP along with the DB protractor from a well known source. These people just placed the LP in a box with some foam peanuts and their shipping label trash along with the protractor. No media mail packaging, nothing. Shipped it via USPS to Texas. It's over 100 frickin' degrees here. USPS put the box in a mail box in our apt complex, and it sat in there until I got home from work. Needless to say, the LP ain't mirror flat as it should be..... WTF?????

Perhaps you should ask for some Pepperoni as packing material??

Crud, I feel like an idiot. I just ordered a dozen 180 gram special editions and had them shipped ground...to Phoenix Arizona.

At least I had the foresight to have them delivered to my office instead of my home. Here's hoping for the best.

The "pizza box" type of box is hopefully the kind specifically for LPs. That should give you better results.

Hi folks, i haven't had any warpage issues as much as getting the LP's with corner damages. Countless of them. The more you order at once (10-12), the heavier the box and if same, God forbid, is dropped the increased likelyhood of getting your precious vinyls corner damaged. Winter/Summer, it does not matter. Ordering vinyls mail order is like ordering a box of chocolate......
