The interior package was a little smashed, but mostly arrived intact. At that price, should have been immaculate.

I am never using this service again
I am never using this service again. I made two orders that were to ship at the same time. Both records were released on the same day. One was sent to me without issue. The other was sent, much later, without explanation, though a different shipping company and was returned. It never even left the shipping facility. The only notification I received was an email that stated I got a refund. There was no explanation as to why. When I contacted customer service, they were incredibly unhelpful. I would think the least that could be done was to have it reordered and resent through a different shipper (i.e., the same they used for my other order), but the customer service agent would not and did not offer anything of use. Couldn't even give me an explanation for the canceled shipping. I ordered from The Sound of Vinyl to get the limited edition version of a record and now that window has closed, the record is sold out, and I'm left with this bad experience. I'll use any other UK service - Rough Trade, etc. than go back to The Sound of Vinyl. Should be the sound of disappointment and regret.
