Shipping & Refund Information
**VINYL RECORD DAMAGE NOTICE**
All records are securely packaged with appropriate packing materials. Items that are shipped Media Mail spend the most amount of time in transit, which increases the risk of damage, including warps. Additionally, Media Mail offers little to no recourse if a package is damaged or lost. We cannot be held responsible for the mishandling of packages during transit.
Please consider spending a little extra on a non-Media Mail shipping option.
Occasionally, seam splits will happen during transit. If you would like to avoid it, please email us immediately after placing an order with the instruction to unseal and remove the record from the jacket. Please note we are unable to offer a refund for any sealed album that arrives with seam splits.
Please note, skipping records can often be a result of the turntable or cartridge/needle quality — not the record. Minor sleeve scuffs and slight warps are sadly very normal with new records and as a result, we are not able to warranty for small defects.
REFUND POLICY
We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it. Records must still be sealed and without damage. Clothing must be unworn and unwashed. You’ll also need to provide a receipt or proof of purchase.
To start a return, you can contact us at info@intheqrecords.com. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted. Shipping charges for all returns must be prepaid and paid by you.
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method. Please note that shipping and handling charges are not refundable. Any amounts refunded will not include the cost of shipping.
You can always contact us for any return question at info@intheqrecords.com.
DOMESTIC SHIPPING
Media Mail is the cheapest way to ship records but remember it is also the slowest delivery method. We securely pack all items with appropriate materials, however, if a package is damaged or lost, there is little to no recourse. Please consider spending a little extra on a non-Media Mail option, to avoid any potential issues.
Estimated delivery time for USPS Media Mail is 3-14 businesses days to US addresses. Estimated delivery time for USPS First Class mail is 3-7 business days to US addresses.
Expedited delivery via USPS Priority Mail is available for an additional fee at checkout. We do not offer overnight shipping at this time.
We do not provide a refund or replacement for items that have been scanned as delivered by USPS. If your package tracks as delivered, but you have not received it, please inquire with your mail carrier or at your local post office branch.
Shipments returned to us by USPS due to incorrect/unclaimed/undeliverable address information will be charged a $5.00 fee for re-shipment.
