SET SALE sold!!!

GENE VINCENT Bird-Doggin' / Ain't That Too Much Challenge 59337 $100 Styrene Near Mint (Grading is for the vinyl. You can grade the labels by looking at the pics. With just some tiny hairlines in the dead wax none on the grooves. Plays awesome with no distortion! This came out of that big load I picked up out of a storage unit in Northern California a few years ago. The entire load came out of a tiny radio station in Louisiana. A lot of the labels had a radio station filing sticker/tape on one side. This is one of those.

$5 1st class shipping in the U.S. (Media mail is too messed up and slow right now) $14.50 for 1st class international. Paypal using the Sending To Friend Link. I just signed up with Venmo if you want to use that also.

Nobody should send or request any 45 to be sent by media mail.
Media mail parcels are sorted / processed last if volume is running above normal (like now)
Media mail parcels are not routed direct to their destintion most of the time- depending on 1st class and priority mail volume, media parcels are loaded and offloaded onto trailer trucks that have room at the time of departure, no matter what destination.
Media parcels are tossed into large corrugated boxes with other media mail parcels regardless of size and weight.
The corrugated boxes are driven by fork lift into a large lift that raises the box in order to dump the contents onto a conveyor belt.
Thus, a 50 pound box is likely to come in contact with a 45rpm package and do damage. Doesn't matter if a media mail package is marked "fragile" or not. Media mail parcel maximum allowable weight is 70 pounds. All media parcels are sorted and processed together.

I live in Sacramento, Ca. and a while back I sent a cd by media mail to a buyer who also lived in Sacramento, It went to San Francisco then L.A. and then back to Sacramento and it took a week. A 1st class package would have got to his house in a day.

I'm not finding Media Mail that slow right now compared to some of the other packages I've been mailing.
A Priority package going 20 miles took 30 day to be delivered. A First Class package going about 35 miles took a detour from Pa to Florida for 3 weeks. And a Priority package from PA to NY mailed the 24th is currently vacationing in Kansas.

The speed of delivery all depends on what city it's being sent from and what city it's going to to.

I had a media mail package mailed from Valley Stream in Nassau County to my place in Queens. It took less than a week.
Two weeks ago, I ordered a CD from Discogs whose tracking showed a label was created in Malden, MA. Nothing for two weeks until today, I get a tracking email that the USPS regional facility in Oakland, CA.

I'm considering the first one to fall into the category of minor miracle.

I like the way you marked the record as SOLD at the top of the Thread. This is a much better idea than deleting the thread once the record is sold.
