Greetings!

Maybe, you can help me.
Bought 4 LPs an ebay. They are in UK. I´m based in Berlin. How much is shipping as a small packet - non registered?
Thx.

It depends on various factors. But I would assume approx. £9. £5 for the first LP and then +£1-£2 for each other. Some sellers take extra for the packaging (£1 or so).

Funnily enough, I just sent 4LPs to someone in mainland Europe last week.

The weight, when packaged was just under 1KG and it cost £7.82. Add £1-2 to that for packaging.

Depending on the weight of the sleeves and liner notes/lyric sheets etc., it could conceivably end up weighing more than 1KG, so just take that as a rough estimate...

Give thx, kalcidis and Funky Punk.
Seller charged GBP 15, so that´s too much.

That depends. If seller sent via "regsitered mail" which is insured plus you can track it, it's 4-5 pound on top. In that case price would be ok..

Thx Nilo.
We now figured out 11 pounds.

Have a peaceful, relaxed time!

Sounds reasonable. As soon as the shipping for one records goes over £7 I'm very suspicious ... but then I realise that sending one 12" from Sweden to the rest of Europe is at least £9 (one disco!). It is often cheaper shipping from UK -> SWE rather than SWE -> SWE. I've even had cheaper flight tickets to London from Stockholm than it has been to send one record. :D
