Additional Information

Stamper info:  Our rule of thumb for ordering extra stampers for regular weight records is; one set of stampers per 1,000 records, plus one extra set for all colored vinyl jobs. For HQ-180 records it is; one set of stampers per 500 records. At least one extra set of stampers will be made on colored vinyl jobs to minimize downtime when a stamper change is needed.

Finished product will ship to you via UPS Ground, or the carrier of your choice, FOB Camarillo, CA. All shipping charges are paid by the customer.

Drop Shipments

  • Each selection/order is limited to four drop shipments at our standard rate. If you combine multiple selections into one shipment, each selection is considered a drop shipment. Due to extreme limited space we will combine selections when we can, but it is not guaranteed. We do not have the space to store pallets of product while waiting on another title to complete.

     If a customer finds they must ask us to ship out to additional addresses, we will accommodate the request as best we can. For each order exceeding four drops, the fifth drop and greater fees will be doubled and there may be added labor costs for more complex shipments.

Once you confirm what mode we will be shipping, loose or on a pallet, we will send you the needed shipping specifications, so that you can setup your shipment. If shipping via a truck line you will need to supply the Bill of Lading.
