Color variance cannot be confirmed and may vary from issue to issue. Cover images aren't images of the actual jacket. Minor details may vary.

All Vintage Katalog records have been carefully inspected before adding them to our stock. They have been loved but played carefully. You get a copy pressed at the time of the record release, but we can't ensure nor we will provide pressing details. Images reflect standard/common cover art and pressings. Minor details may vary. Images are for reference only.

Defective Exchange

In the event that a record has a manufacturer's defect, promptly contact us at [email protected] with details and photographic/video evidence of the product and the defect and we'll do what needs done. Please include your model of turntable and last time you changed your needle. We don't take returns if you have a Crosley, Victrola, or Audiotechnica LP60.

We do not provide return shipping labels. In the event that we do not have another copy, a refund will be issued upon receipt of the defective record. In order to be considered for a defective exchange, we must receive your defective product within 15 days of invoice. Shipping the item back to us is your responsibility, we will not cover return postage. You can always contact the manufacturer for refunds as well. Does not apply to in-store pickup orders.

 

Please note: minor surface noise, crackles, scuffing, and pops are not considered defective or damaged, as these are common on new vinyl. We are not responsible for what the quality control of a pressing plant deems acceptable. We recommend that all records are cleaned with a dry carbon fiber brush before each playback. In some cases a wet-cleaning may be required for best results. Many records handled on the playing surface won't be eligible for refund.

Damaged Items In Transport

Canada Post default insurance policy only covers up to CA$100 in value. If there is any damage to the packaging on delivery, contact us immediately at [email protected] and provide photographs/video evidence of the damage as we'll have to file a claim with Canada Post.

We do not pay for extra insurance, so if your order is over $100 and you want extra coverage in case of damaged or lost parcels email us beforehand, otherwise we can only reimburse you the $100.

All Kollectibles are shipped insured, at no extra cost.

Abandonded Orders

Pick-up orders not collected after 6 months will be considered abandoned and will be disposed of by the staff without refund due to costs associated with storage and reprocessing.
