Shipping Vinyl

[bobman1235]

I have a bunch of records I'm going to ship to a friend of mine who just got a turntable (I don't plan on getting one anytime soon, if ever, so why not send the stuff to someone who will use it?).

There's about 12-14 records that are going from Boston to Texas.

Anyone have any good "guides to shipping vinyl", or tips? I don't even know where to start.

I ended up using some of the 20 lp shipping boxes from Bags Unlimited for a dozen records or so. I wrapped the lp's in small bubble wrap to take up the remaining room in the box to keep them from moving. When I taped up the box I did it so it was as tight as possible. Far as I know they got to their destination with no issues.

Thanks guys, I bought some boxes from Bags Unlimited. Too bad they'll only ship ten or more; I only needed 2 or 3.

The bags unlimited boxes are the best mailers I've come across.
