Default Re: Couriers/Post Office - Prohibited/Restricted items

About 15 years ago I bought some LP's the packaging for those included some other "free" lps used to stiffen / protect the whole nicely engineered package up. In the end I think I got more enjoyment from the packing material than the original record

The original was Beethoven's 7th which ended up with an annoying scratch so got little play. The two stand out packaging LPs were Klaus Wunderlich's Hammond Pops 8 and Limousine by Limousine (Dutch band). Probably worth a few pounds now vinyl is back in!

There has been no change in all those years.
My mail test now would involve spearing a box with a fork truck tine. If it can resist that, the radio within will likely be fine.
