What Happens on Our End?

As soon as we receive your order our in-house team gets to making your cover, stickers and downloading your music so they can lathe-cut them into your record. This process in itself is an art that demands precision, patience, and lots of craftsmanship - so please be patient throughout the process.

Is My Photo Good Enough?

If you follow these photo guidelines, then yes your photo is very likely good enough to use:

• The photo is taken in good lighting (outdoor daylight is best)
• The photo is high resolution and at least 300 DPI; otherwise the printed covers &/or center labels may be blurry.
• No important elements such as text or faces are out of frame.

Can I Change My Order?

After placing an order it is highly likely we have already sent it to our in-house team for review, so unless there are very specific circumstances we typically do not allow this.

Will You Add a Tracklist to the Cover?

We are unable to add any modifications to the photos you’ve uploaded.

How is the Sound Quality?

Our commitment to enhancing the sound quality of our lathe-cut records has been a top priority. While it's true that lathe cuts may exhibit some initial surface noise, pops, and cracks when played, these almost always disappear with time. Significant strides have been made in minimizing these crackles and pops and our relentless dedication to improving sound quality remains unwavering. In fact we're so confident in the audio fidelity of our custom vinyl records that we offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee!

What About the Playability?

These records do not play as well on cheap turntables without a weighted tonearm, such as the typical starter Crosley turntables. Lighter tonearm weight and neutral anti-skating works best. Sometimes the needle will get caught in between the grooves and sound awful. You can gently nudge the needle back into the bottom of the groove, which will fix the problem. If the album does not sound right, the needle is most likely not in the groove, please make sure to always double check this. 

Return Policy?

We offer free 60-day returns for our products, the return cost being $0 for all eligible items; however, it's important to note that any custom and/or digital items are exceptions and cannot be returned under any circumstances due to their personalized nature.

Do we cover duties and taxes for international shipping?

We do not cover duties and taxes for international shipping. These additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient, and they may vary depending on the destination country's regulations.

Does international processing & shipping?

Yes, due to the intricacies of having products such as these shipped overseas processing and shipping times for international orders are on average 20% longer than for U.S. based orders.
