Yes. RareVinyl.com ships worldwide to over 100 countries using trusted carriers. Delivery times vary by destination—typically 3–5 working days within Europe and around 6–7 working days for many international destinations. We use Royal Mail, Parcelforce, UPS, FedEx, and other reliable shipping partners. For many European customers, local tax-paid delivery options are available where applicable.

RareVinyl.com follows the Record Collector Magazine grading system. Most items are graded between Mint (brand new) and Excellent, and the product description will clearly explain the exact condition you can expect for both the vinyl and the sleeve.

Record collectors care about condition—and so does RareVinyl.com. Delivery charges cover specialist record packaging, careful handling, and tracked services designed to protect sleeves, corners, inserts, and the vinyl itself in transit. Instead of hiding shipping costs inside product prices, RareVinyl.com keeps pricing clear and transparent.
