FAQ
Are these releases officially licensed?
Absolutely! All the music from our distribution partners comes with official licensing. Royalty from each your purchase on our website goes directly to the right owners, because we support the artists and their hard work. And we stand firmly against bootlegging and counterfeiting.
Is the vinyl color guaranteed?
Due to the nature of vinyl production, only releases with black vinyl can be guaranteed. As for colored or splatter releases actual vinyl record color may look a bit different since we use mock ups on the website. However, on the other hand, each of these records is unique and one of a kind.
What is a "pre-orders"?
When a product is labeled as "Pre-Order," it indicates that the item is currently in production and will be shipped at a later date. You can always find the estimated shipping timelines in the product description, just below the "Preorder" button. Keep in mind that some records may have limited Pre-Order availability and could sell out before they officially arrive in stock.
If your order includes one or more Pre-Order items, the entire order will be held until all Pre-Order items are ready to ship.
Why there only "estimated shipping date"?
We usually receiving "estimated shipping date" from various suppliers and labels, because sometimes there is delays which beyond our or our partners control. We strive to keep these estimated dates as current as possible, but please remember that they are always approximations and not guaranteed delivery timelines.
What does Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 mean?
Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 refer to different quarters of the year. We use quarterly format to indicate the timeframe for upcoming releases because the production of vinyl records can be quite complex. Factors such as manufacturing schedules, shipping logistics, and quality control can impact timelines. By providing a quarterly estimate, we can give you a better idea of when to expect your order, while still accounting for any potential delays that may arise during the production process.
Can I return a vinyl record if I don’t like it?
We got you covered in this one! If you’re not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, provided it’s in its original condition.
