4. Packaging
	•	We personally ensure each vinyl record is securely packaged to minimize the risk of damage during transit. However, we cannot be held responsible for damage caused by the carrier during delivery.

5. Cosmetic Defects on Vinyl
	•	Vinyl records are unique, and slight cosmetic imperfections (e.g., small scuffs, minor warping, or slight seam splits in the jacket) may occur during manufacturing or shipping. These imperfections do not affect playability and are not covered under our return policy.
