- t***c (27)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaOne vinyl LP was purchased. The seller described the item accurately. It was shipped promptly. The record was kept inside the record jacket during shipping. The box used to ship the record was just a used piece of folded cardboard with no additional padding on the inside to protect the vinyl. Luckily, it made it without any damage.
