It sucks they won’t ship to the UK, Shipito is expensive, would anybody mind stockpiling 3-4 CDs or vinyls and shipping to the UK??

I Use Stackry to Ship from the US to UK - they are cheap! about £11.00 for one LP, £16.00 for 2 and a bit cheaper for CDs!

Stackrys re-packing isn't great anymore though, i used to bundle several into the same package and they used to arrive fine until a month ago, they have just started to use slightly oversize boxes and the last 3 orders of several LPs arrived slightly damged, due to zero protection, so i have just reverted to shipping 1 parcel at a time, that way the items stay in the original packaging and normally arrive without any damage!

You can also pay $5 more and they bubble wrap every item in repacking

They now use oversize Boxes for LPs with the LPs rattling around loosely inside - my last shipment that came I had them re-pack 4 single LPs that came from Newbury - but didn't pay the Extra $5.00 for extra bubble wrap - they put them in a 13" x 13" x 10" tall box - when it would have been better to re pack them using one of the Newbury Record Mailers - Like they used to.

Hi nick, if you email them there customer service is good re repacking, I asked them to cut boxes down as they started just putting items in the biggest box, it’s when I started using the $5 bubble wrap too, last box had three lps, cds and signed stuff all wrapped well and whole thing was about $25-$30, you can also fill out your own customs values too if you know what I mean

Hi Steve, yes thank you i'll have to e mail the customer service, i don't know why they don't just leave everything in the original mailers, then place in the larger box as they are cheap even with the extra weight, one of my last 3 parcels that arrived with a couple of LPs corner dinked slightly had 2 CDs and Signed Booklets floating around, luckily they were fine!

I may have to stop being so tight and pay the extra $5.00....

Yes i like filling out my own customs forms!
