Items are stored in a smoke-free, pet-free environment, and we will not list anything with a noticeable odor; however, our items come from many sources and we are unable to guarantee that customers with allergies will not be sensitive to them.
Shipping Discount
Items purchased from The Dawn Treader Bookstore on the same day qualify for a combined shipping discount. 3 items can ship via USPS Media Mail for the price of one; for purchases with more than 3 items or which require Priority shipping, please contact us for a quote.
Record Grading
We carefully hand-clean all records (except sealed copies, which we assume are already clean), using RCA D4+ record cleaner solution, so that your record has a longer life. We also include a new, clear plastic protective sleeve for all 7" book and record sets.
We make every effort to grade our records conservatively, and to list any flaws we find. We use the Goldmine Grading Scale, primarily in regard to the vinyl itself. Extra flaws (i.e. writing on the label) will be noted in the listing description. Sleeves and books are graded separately from the record.
We do not play-test our records; they are all graded visually to avoid adding wear to the items.
Sealed records and cassettes arrive here sealed; we assume that they are factory-sealed, mint condition. We do not open sealed items, and we do not seal open items.
When we determine the value of an item, several factors are included: condition, availability (whether or not the item is scarce, or rare in its condition), and how much it cost us to obtain the item. Multiple copies of the same title may be available for various prices, depending on these factors.
If there is any problem at all, returns are always welcome. We want you to feel comfortable and confident with your purchase from us. Thank you!
