Everything you might want
to know.
General
I'm in Europe or elsewhere and my tracking isn't working
Please check https://parcelsapp.com/en/tracking with the provided tracking number after it was shipped.
I can't find a product that was listed before!
This website sometimes hides items that are sold out for organization purposes. If you would like to see our full catalogue of music check Discogs or our Bandcamp.
How limited is XXXX release?
Unless a number is specified on the product page, then please assume that we have chosen not to advertise the quantity at this time.
Can I buy multiple copies of XXXX release?
Unless stated otherwise of course you can. In fact, please.
Which edition should I buy?
Any edition you like. The only difference is the color variant you are choosing.
Do I need to buy this so and so 'limited edition' to get the extra items?
Generally all editions contain the same extra items.
What's the best way to find out about your new releases?
Please join our mailing list located on the home page. You can also follow our page on Facebook and Instagram.
Do you offer digital downloads with your releases?
You can actually generate FREE download Bandcamp codes by visiting the code generator. No purchase necessary. Some albums do not contain download codes because they are from other labels and / or from partners in small certain circumstances.
Do your releases come in shrink wrap?
In almost all cases they do not, we ship all records outside of their jackets to prevent damages from happening. On very rare occasions they come in shrink wrap but it will be stated on the product page.
What speed are your records?
In almost all cases they run at 33.3rpm unless stated otherwise on the label of the vinyl.
Ordering
What payment methods do you accept?
Currently only PayPal, which in turn also accepts most forms of credit cards.
Do you do pre-orders?
Sometimes we take pre-orders for our releases (but not all the time). In these cases, the lacquer has already been cut to speed up the process.
How long will it take for my order to ship?
We use a reshipper to lower shipping costs. Generally speaking it can take 2-3 weeks to arrive in Canada and the United States. In many cases it takes longer to arrive overseas, please email us if you need tracking information.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes.
Why do I have to enter my phone number during checkout?
Your phone number is important in case your local postal service has any problems finding your address.
Shipping
Where will my order ship from?
All orders to USA will ship from USA and every other international order will ship from our warehouse in Italy.
How will I know when my order has shipped?
You will receive a shipping confirmation email.
Are your orders tracked?
Yes most of them are and you are also able to choose from shipping methods. Basic media mail orders for US are tracked.
Where is my tracking number?
You will receive a tracking number in your email after we ship your item. At times the tracking link doesn't work in the email so please check https://parcelsapp.com/en/tracking and other relevant websites.
How long until my order ships?
Unless otherwise stated on the product page, all orders usually ship within 2-3 weeks. Pre-order items are excluded from this, of course.
Can you remove the record(s) from the outer sleeve to avoid seam splits during shipping?
We do this automatically.
My records have damages. What should I do?
Please email [email protected] and we will get back to you ASAP.
How long do I have to report a damaged record?
Please report it ASAP by emailing [email protected] and be considerate — if it's been over half a year we won't be able to help you.
What about customs / import charges?
For international orders, please be aware that you will be responsible for any customs / import charges incurred by your package.
I live in the US and it's been a couple of days. My package should be here, right?
Please be patient and make sure it's not a pre-order, in which case it can take longer. If it's been a while send us an email.
My order still hasn't arrived. What should I do?
Please wait until a reasonable amount of time has passed and then get in touch with us.
My order was returned to you. What are my options?
{em}Updated as of Oct 2022:{/em} if for any reason your parcel is returned to us (due to an incorrect shipping address, or you failed to collect it from your post office) then we will be happy to resend it — if we get it back. However you will have to cover the costs of re-shipping it.
Artists, Labels, Record Stores
Are you accepting demos?
We are currently not accepting demos because our schedule is filled.
I am a label and am interested in selling our records on MTHRBORD
Send us an email at [email protected] with information about your label and other details, we may be interested.
I run a record store and would like to sell your products
We provide distribution to small record shops. We want to keep distribution to a minimum (avoiding large chain-stores entirely) but if you run a small independent shop we are happy to work with you. Email us at [email protected] with information about your store including social media info, etc. We do NOT want to work with people who just resell on eBay and Discogs — we do in-depth searches to prevent this.
