Sending records....????

[Classikmetal]

Don't know if this question has been asked already. If it has, i'm sorry. I wanted to ask what would be the best size of envelope for sending an old 33 rpm vinyl sleeves and how much would postage cost? I was going to send to Ace Frehley (ex. KISS) a vinyl sleeve to see if he would sign it. Thanks.

you might get something i sent a cd sleve to bucky covington and got it sigend and the vinal sleeve soundes valuble.Your best bet is to see if the adress has any sucsesses latley but you never will know if you dont try.

ok.....not necessarily what i was asking. Was asking how much postage a 12" vinyl would cost to send and what size of envelope i should use. Thanks.

oh the way to do that is take it to your local post office when the part with people are open and ask them they would be able to tell you excatly

I send LPs out quite often and this is how I do it...

1. Make sure the address you are sending to is a valid working address.

2. Get an LP MAILER (made specifically for mailing LPs)

3. What i do is, write my OWN address on the "To" and "From" areas.
Then I take a Plain white paper and write the adress of who its going to and Tape it on top of my address. In my letter to the artist, I mention that they can use the same box to mail the record back to me. I tell them to "Peel" off their address from the box and my address will appear under theirs. As for having it mailed back, I also encluse a $5 bill and request it be sent back to me via Priority mail.

This is what i do ALL the Time when Mailing LPs out and this method has been very successful for me. I know it will work for you too.

Have Fun!
