"What if the estimated delivery date has passed and I still don't have my order?"

All packages shipped have tracking information which we send with the shipping confirmation E-mail.  Please check this tracking information and read through the following options:

  • If the tracking information indicates the package is being returned to us, or if the address is incorrect, it may have been undeliverable.

Gift Certificates

When an adjustment needs to be made for your order because of an item being sold out or for other reasons we will offer you a store credit as an option.  You can get a refund to the payment method you used if you prefer.  The store credit is issued in the form of a Thursday's Golden Goodies gift certificate.  We send the gift certificate by E-mail along with instructions on how to redeem.  The gift certificate does not expire.  You may use the multiple gift certificate volume and special mailing list member discounts.  

Gift certificates bought through our site or redeemed with bonus points can only be used on a future order with Thursday's Golden Goodies.  There are no refunds on gift certificates.  Once issued they can only be used as payment for an order with Thursday's Golden Goodies.  Gift certificates don't expire.  They can be used with volume and special mailing list member discounts.   

The system does not know if you have an open gift certificate when you place the order.  It is up to you to enter the code at checkout.  The gift certificate can't be retroactively applied to a completed order.  We do send reminders out to those who have open gift certificates.  


Gradings

 


WE USE A 1 (worst) to 10 (best) GRADING SYSTEM! For records WITH sleeves/covers, the vinyl is graded first, the sleeve/cover second. Example: NM9/VG7 means NM9 vinyl/VG7 sleeve. 

VINYL RECORDS ARE GRADED AS FOLLOWS:

M10 = mint. The record appears new, as though never played. If it has indeed been played, the record shows no wear at all.

 

NM9 = near mint. The record appears new at first glace, but a closer look reveals that it may have been played. It shows minimal wear, if any.

 

EX8 = excellent. Better than VG but below NM. Although this record seems to have been played, it is in great condition. It is likely that this record has had only one previous owner who took good care of it.  May have writing or sticker.  May have minor wear.

 

VG7 = very good. This record sounds good. Expect to see moderate wear.  May have writing or sticker.  Should play nicely for a long, time.

 

VG6 = Slightly better than G. This record has visibly seen some play. Expect it to have heavy scratches as well as writing on the label. Still this record plays, assuring listening pleasure for years to come.

 

G5 = good. This record still plays.  It shows considerable wear, likely from years of play and perhaps changing hands. There may be writing and/or stickers on the label, as well as visible scratches on the vinyl.  We only would list a record with condition if it is rare and collectible.  

 

G4 = Better than POOR but Below G. This is the lowest grading we will list. This record shows a lot of wear and may have markings/sticker on label. It plays rough, but has visibly seen a lot of handling. We only would list a record with condition if it is rare and collectible.

 

wol = has writing on label. Although this flaw has been considered in the overall grading, the "wol" notation allows for a more accurate grading.

 

sol = has sticker on label. Although this flaw has been considered in the overall grading, the "sol" notation allows for a more accurate grading.

 

PICTURE SLEEVES & ALBUM COVERS

 

M10 = mint. A sleeve/cover in this condition appears as though it was just picked off a shelf at a retail store. It shows no marks or damage at all.

 

NM9 = This sleeve/cover is flawless at first glance. Any wear at all would be minimal.

 

EX8 = excellent. Better than VG but below NM. This sleeve looks great. It may have some minor wear, but no real damage of any kind.

 

VG7 = very good. Although it looks great at first sight, a closer look at this sleeve/cover may reveal some minor damage such as wear, some writing, minor tears.

 

VG6 = Better than G but below VG. This sleeve looks very good, but a closer look may show some wear and markings.

 

G5 = good. This sleeve looks good, but may show some flaws such as considerable wear, writing and scribbles, fading of colors and tears.

 

G4 = This is our lowest listed grading. Barely good, yet slightly better than poor. This sleeve looks ok, but may have major wear, slight tears, markings, etc.

 

woc = has writing on cover/sleeve. Although this flaw has been considered in the overall grading, the "woc" notation allows for more accurate grading.

 

soc = has sticker on cover/sleeve. Although this flaw has been considered in the overall grading, the "soc" notation allows for more accurate grading.

 

We are unable to send additional picture scans or fetch individual items for more details.  The condition of this item is listed under item details and/or in the description.

 

Most records are only visually graded.  We are unable to play most before listing due to volume.

 

Not all minor flaws of an item may be spelled out in the description. All 45s shipped with a paper sleeve or picture sleeve (cover). 

 

Only if the description (and picture) shows a company sleeve and/or juke box label should you expect these to be included. Juke box label styles may vary. If a company sleeve is included, described and pictured, it will be exactly as pictured. All LPs have a cover and at least a plain inner sleeve; we do not guarantee original company sleeves unless stated in item description and/or shown in the picture. 

 

Please ask all other questions before buying.
