yeah you have to tell them how to pack them cause they will warp, i got a few records sent to me and one was warpt and another the cover was jacked , and another i got fromthe UK and the the cover was water logged along wiith the packag on the outside pull dude charged me hell money to send it , THATS WHY I DONT BUY OVER SEAS ANYMORE... to much hassle plus i just been having bad luck with flowers on Ebay ...NOMORE..inless i want it or need it bad enough, if you wait long enough you can find it sooner or later, then again i run a record store so records just come at me from everywhere.

I only buy records from the internet once the weather has cooled down. With cooler weather the records are less likely to warp. So far I have had no problems.

yeah i've bought plenty of vinyl off the net but during the summer if the delivery man leaves them on your porch all day they'll be warped. other than that i've had more good results than bad

i dont buy as much records from the net anymore. it has to be something i can't find or something i have been wanting for some time now,plus it has too be from a dealer that i have dealt with before, i got some dealers i deal with all the time.

as far as once the weather has cooled down, i dont know about that,water get to the package and your screwed you realy have a warped cover inless you buy new , but i dont buy any neew records.
basicaly you just have to tell them to pack them realy good is all, they give you a place to add comments when you purchase just write it there :PLEASPACK RECORD WELL SO IT WONT WARP OR GET WET IF LEFT OUT SIDE,USE DOUBLE CARDBOARD.
my post man is great at delivering my records i get them in great shape except if they get fuct from the other end.

i think these were f-ed from the other end cause both sets they sent me were warped pretty much the same way. its sucks but oh well.

I been coppin bundles of rec's off of ebay... cheap as bro.. found some ish i never woulda picked up, pierre exciting when they start arriving... i got boxes i aint opened yet cus i got so many.. none warped so much that the needle jumps esp when they come in a thick bundle.

When i do gets to openin em i jus pick thru the most appealing records with a lil suttin to smoke til i find what im lookin for & get to work.. i got a bunch of stickers with me too so i can label up if they have or havent got anythin i can use cus i got so many il forget which ones ive already checked, praps thas the smoke again haha but still... organisation is the key!
