i've gotten from that guy before. that is terrible packaging. safer but similar, another guy (i think seller diorules in ohio) actually ships records is pizza delivery boxes turned inside out, I heard he actually owns a pizza chain.

Got one the other day chris from america, it was the front of an old album sleeve cut up, when it came through the door i thought well thats smashed, cut through the tape an out slid a 45 no sleeve or anything, not a mark on it how lucky was that, seriously i could have bent the lot in half the packaging was so flimsy

Have had records wrapped in newspaper then enveloped, normally from USA. Also had one mailed in a music from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers LP cover !!!

I have been lucky in that the records have always been well wrapped and protected whatever they are sent in.
