PACKAGING & SHIPPING

We attempt to ensure that your goods are packaged in the best possible manner to ensure their safe arrival at their destination. We use materials supplied by Australia Post and record packaging companies.

CDs are usually packaged in their equivalent size cardboard box.

Vinyl is packaged in similar cardboard boxes for that size.

Where necessary, bubble wrap and newspaper are used to ensure the vinyl and jewel CD cases are not damaged in any way.

We take pride in our efforts to manage your goods properly.


Should you require insurance, please advise us at the time of ordering.



AIR MAIL SERVICE

UNsound Records uses the services of Australia Post for its Air Mail freight.

Postage rates within Australia are subject to 10% Goods and Service Tax.

Overseas customers do not pay Goods and Services Tax.

Unsound Records does not guarantee the delivery times of parcels and mail, and we have no contract with Australia Post to guarantee delivery times. As Australia Post utilises the services of other carriers in foreign countries, we also do not guarantee delivery times of other freight carriers or postal services in other countries.

Unsound Records does not have a fast service that guarantees delivery within 3-4 days outside of Australia, although the Air Mail service to the UK has been known to deliver normal Air Mail freight in this time.

Unsound Records will NOT refund monies paid for postal services because of slow delivery times by carriers as these circumstances are outside the control of our organisation.

Please allow for extra delivery times to cover new security measures being enforced around the world.

Note that all goods dispatched by UNsound Records are considered as parcels by Australia Post, and as such are subject to the relevant costs and services provided by that carrier.
