  1. Honestly, I don't think you will need too much horror stories to fill up 5 minutes. If you simply state how to package a record step-by-step, and explain why those steps are necessary, 5 minutes should fly by.

    Agreed. Mentioning something quick about insurance with a package couldn't hurt. All packages I ship within North American are insured.

    Last year I ordered myself a copy of sigh no more, and the package arrived with a large tire-mark across the front of the package. The record inside was completely destroyed. You could tell the package was originally packed quite carefully but Canadapost or USPS completely dropped the ball. The seller didn't insure the package and I was out of luck. I called both companies, filed a dispute for negligence and am still waiting for a callback....

  3. shit. didn't know about this. always skeptical about the quality of these things though.

    This NXNE show should be pretty legit.

    Some shows in Toronto are alright, the broadview show & mount pleasant are on/off. The Mount Pleasant one just passed a few weeks ago and KOPs was promoting this show pretty crazy. I think it's going to have a high turnout of customers & vendor quality.

    I'm going to be setup as a vendor if anybody wants to trade or a decent discount.

  4. I've had a hit/miss experience with Interpunk.

    The first time I ordered a it took several weeks to arrive and when it did it was missing a motorhead LP, this was a few years ago.

    Last year I placed another order and ended up having to move before I received the package (mostly my fault, something came up). They sent me a message about the package being returned to sender, they forwarded the package to me at no extra cost.
