Shipping and return policies for Three Lobed Recordings

Shipping Info
US orders are shipped by USPS Media Mail (vinyl) or USPS First Class Mail (CDs, shirts, non-vinyl merchandise). All international orders are sent via USPS First Class International to the address entered into Bandcamp at the time of sale. International purchasers who desire some other sort of shipping need to inquire prior to placing orders. Packages returned to Three Lobed due to an incorrect or outdated shipping address or due to the recipient not claiming the package from their local postage facility will be resent pending receipt of a reshipment fee. Insurance and other services (signature requirements) are not included in the shipping prices assessed and are optional for buyers (domestic and international). We cannot serve as de facto insurance and replace non-insured packages for loss, damage, environmental conditions, etc.
Return Policy
We take shipping seriously, using mailers with added padding on the edges for vinyl records in addition to sufficient filler pads. (Styles used include Bags Unlimited Mighty Music Mailers, Whiplash mailers and similar models, the exact type selected depends on the size of the order and what makes the most sense for the titles purchased.) Titles that are in shrink are shipped sealed unless otherwise requested at the time of purchase. Pressing / manufacturing defect? Let us know and we can help. We cannot replace print elements (jackets, CD cases) on titles damaged in transit unless the packages have been insured.
