When I bought vinyl on mail order it was packaged in a "cardboard sleeve". This was the standard way of sending vinyl through the post system and it worked fine, so that's what I suggest you try.


If you are not happy with that then you can do as Amazon do and use the cardboard sleeve method and put that in a box and send it, but it will be more expensive and you'll be paying to send a lot of empty space through the post.


Preferred method is the first.

Cut four large squares out of a sturdy cardboard box (slightly larger than the record). Sandwich the LP with two cardboard squares either side and stick together with parcel tape. Write "fragile" / "do not bend" / etc in large letters. And hope for the best.

Being a regular receiver of records in the post, I can't state enough how much better a proper mailer with card stiffeners are compared to some make it yourself ones. Use 'Fragile' tape too, and write all over it that it's not to bent!


I have lots of record mailers that you are welcome to and am just off of bellenden road if that's near you?

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
