ORDERING -
E-MAIL, FAX, CALL, OR WRITE TO RESERVE. RECORD LABELS AND NUMBERS ARE PROVIDED FOR POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION USAGE, ESPECIALLY DANCE AND DISCO LPS.
IF YOU RESERVE BY TELEPHONE AND YOU ARE GREETED BY MY ANSWERING RECORDER, PLEASE BE SURE TO STATE THE ITEMS THAT YOU WISH TO RESERVE IN ADDITION TO YOUR NAME AND TELEPHONE NUMBER.
IF YOU RESERVE BY MAIL PLEASE INCLUDE ALTERNATES AND CONSIDER INCLUDING PAYMENT WITH YOUR ORDER (OVERSEAS SURFACE POSTAGE $6 PLUS $2 EACH ADDITIONAL LP).
ALL UNUSED MONEY WILL BE PROMPTLY REFUNDED DOMESTICALLY, OR CREDITED TO NEXT LIST, IF OVERSEAS. ALL U.S. ORDERS WILL BE INSURED. OVERSEAS ORDERS WILL BE INSURED ONLY IF YOU REQUEST AND PAY FOR IT,
BUT PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I MUST DECLARE FOR CUSTOMS THE SAME AMOUNT AS INSURED VALUE. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE RECORDS RESERVED FROM A PRIOR LIST BUT HAVE NOT YET PAID FOR THEM,
PLEASE INCLUDE FULL PAYMENT FOR SUCH PAST ORDER WITH ANY NEW RESERVATIONS. ALSO, PLEASE INCLUDE ANY PERTINENT INFORMATION ON INSURANCE AND CUSTOMS.
IF YOU WISH YOUR OVERSEAS ORDER TO BE SHIPPED VIA FEDERAL EXPRESS, UPS, DHL, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL CARRIER,
I WILL NEED EITHER PAYMENT OR YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER BEFORE RECORDS ARE POSTED. NO "COLLECT " OR C.O.D. SHIPMENTS, PLEASE. IF I HAVE NONE OF THE RECORDS AVAILABLE THAT YOU ORDER,
WORKLOAD PERMITTING, I WILL ATTEMPT TO NOTIFY YOU OF SUCH REGRETS. BUT IF YOU DON'T HEAR FROM ME PLEASE KNOW THAT I AM NOT BEING INCONSIDERATE OR UNAPPRECIATIVE OF YOUR BUSINESS,
BUT RATHER, OVERWHELMED WITH WORK. THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. IF I AM CONFIRMING YOUR ORDER BY FAX,
PLEASE INSTRUCT YOUR SPOUSE OR PARTNER TO SIMPLY PUSH THE FAX MACHINE GREEN START BUTTON WHEN I SAY THE WORDS “FAX PLEASE” (AND NOT HANG UP).
I WILL APPRECIATE NOT HAVING TO MAKE 2 TELEPHONE CALLS TO SEND ONE FAX MESSAGE - THANKS! BOOK RATE NO LONGER AVAILABLE! AS OF FEBRUARY 2001, POSTAL RATES INCREASED,
ESPECIALLY FOR SMALLER (6-16 LP ORDER) OVERSEAS SURFACE SHIPMENTS - AIR MAY BE ONLY 25-30% MORE - THINK ABOUT IT!
OVERBIDS -
AS ANY CUSTOMER SHOULD KNOW, I HAVE NEVER SOLICITED OVERBIDS. BUT I AM NOW IN THE EXPERIENCED POSITION WHERE DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME APPROPRIATE.
ON EACH LIST I AM NOW RECEIVING A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF UNSOLICITED OVERBIDS, PRIMARILY ON THE MORE "COLLECTABLE" ITEMS.
ACCORDINGLY, IF YOU SEE AN ITEM ON MY LIST THAT YOU FEEL ESPECIALLY STRONG ABOUT, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSIDER OFFERING MORE THAN MY LIST PRICE,
ESPECIALLY IF YOU FEEL THAT THE RECORD IS NOTABLY UNDERPRICED.
IF YOU IDENTIFY AN ITEM THAT IS UNDERPRICED, YOU CAN BE SURE THAT AT LEAST SEVERAL OTHER CUSTOMERS DID ALSO. ALTHOUGH THIS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN AUCTION,
I WILL SERIOUSLY TAKE ANY OVERBIDS INTO CONSIDERATION, ESPECIALLY DURING THE 1ST WEEK AFTER (E) MAILING, THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED WITH THE THEME OF FAIRNESS IN MIND.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY -
BECAUSE IT TAKES ME FULLY THREE TIMES AS LONG TO PACK, THERE WILL BE AN EXTRA FEE ($2 PER LP) ASSESSED TO ORDERS
WHERE RECORDS ARE PACKED IN A FASHION WHERE THEY ARE PULLED OUT OF THEIR COVERS AND PLACED TOGETHER, WITH COVER, INSIDE A POLY SLEEVE.
I MAKE A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO ALWAYS PACK EACH RECORD BOX FOR SHIPMENT AS STURDILY AND TIGHTLY AS FEASIBLE, AND I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED COMPLAINTS
ABOUT LOOSELY PACKED RECORDS BEING DAMAGED INSIDE A SHIPPING BOX,
HENCE THE EXTRA FEE. ALSO PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT FOR ORDERS OF 20 LPS OR LESS, THE PRICE OF POSTAGE QUOTED IS ALWAYS FOR ONE BOX.
IF THIS OR LESSER SIZE ORDER IS SPLIT INTO TWO 10 LP BOXES, FOR EXAMPLE, THE TOTAL POSTAGE WILL INCREASE AS MUCH AS 25%.
ACCORDINGLY, MULTI- BOXED 20 LP+ ORDERS WILL BE ASSESSED EXTRA POSTAGE FEES. INSTEAD OF INCURRING EXTRA POSTAGE FEES, WHY NOT JUST ASK ME FOR A “SPECIAL” INVOICE?!
ATTENTION - WARNING - ALERT!
I HAVE ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM RECEIVING CASH PAYMENT THROUGH THE MAIL.
ACCORDINGLY, MAY I SUGGEST AMERICAN EXPRESS INTERNATIONAL MONEY ORDER OR TRAVELERS CHEQUES MADE PAYABLE TO ME, WESTERN UNION OR BIDPAY.COM.
IF YOU STILL PREFER TO SEND CASH , PLEASE REMEMBER THAT REGISTERED LETTERS PROVIDE NO GUARANTEE, BUT THEY DO ATTRACT ATTENTION! CASH CAN BE AND IS STOLEN IN THE POSTAL SYSTEM.
STRANGELY ENOUGH, REGULAR UNREGISTERED MAIL MAY BE PREFERABLE - YOU DECIDE - PAYORS BEWARE!
PAYMENT-
UPON RESERVATION CONFIRMATION, FULL PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 14 DAYS DOMESTIC, OR 30 DAYS INTERNATIONAL, UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE.
MONEY ORDERS PREFERRED FROM U.S. CUSTOMERS. FOREIGN CUSTOMERS PLEASE CONSIDER AMERICAN EXPRESS MONEY ORDERS OR TRAVELLER'S CHEQUES IN DOLLARS,
WESTERN UNION/MONEY GRAM, OR CASH IN REGISTERED LETTER, OTHERWISE IPMO OR CHECK DRAWN AGAINST U.S. BANK IN DOLLARS.
CREDIT CARD PAYMENT ($700 LIMIT) NOW OK, BUT ONLY ON-LINE THROUGH BIDPAY.COM. IDENTIFY ME AS “PAUL MOCHINAL RECORDS” UNDER “OTHER”.
YOUR ORDER (ITEM) NUMBER AND CUSTOMER (USER ID) NUMBER ARE TO THE RIGHT OF INVOICE DATE. JUST MENTION RECORDS UNDER THE ITEM DESCRIPTION .
PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT CREDIT CARD INFORMATION TO ME. IN ANY EVENT, SHIPMENT WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL FULL PAYMENT IS RECEIVED FOR ALL RECORDS RESERVED. NO "PARTIAL" SHIPMENTS WILL BE AUTHORIZED.
ALSO, NO ELECTRONIC BANK TRANSFERS. U.S. SHIPPING $3 1ST LP, $.50 EACH ADDT'L LP, OR $2 1ST 45, $.25 EACH ADDT'L 45. U.S. CUSTOMERS ALLOW 2 WEEKS FOR PERSONAL CHECKS TO CLEAR BEFORE SHIPPING.
VIRGINIA CUSTOMERS PLEASE ADD 4.5 % SALES TAX. ALL RECORDS WILL BE SHIPPED WITHIN 14 DAYS AFTER PAYMENT RECEIPT, BUT USUALLY MUCH SOONER!
SPECIAL REQUEST -
WHILE I DO SINCERELY APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS, A SITUATION IS EVOLVING WHERE I MUST ASK FOR, AND REQUIRE A SPECIAL FAVOR.
I AM AWARE THAT PERSONAL SITUATIONS CAN CHANGE AND SOMETIMES REQUIRE US TO ALTER OUR PLANS. ACCORDINGLY,
IF YOU HAVE RESERVED RECORDS FROM MY LIST AND DISCOVER THAT YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO HONOR MAKING PAYMENT FOR THESE RECORDS,
PLEASE EXTEND TO ME THE SIMPLE COURTESY OF NOTIFICATION. THIS ENSURES "GOOD STANDING" AND CONTINUED OFFERINGS IN THE FUTURE.
I UNDERSTAND THAT SITUATIONS CAN CHANGE, BUT I DO NOT AND WILL NOT UNDERSTAND OR ACCEPT SILENCE AND INDOLENCE! VIOLATORS WILL BE BANNED FROM MY OFFERING LIST!
IN ADDITION, THIS DEADBEAT NON-PAYMENT INFORMATION WILL BE SHARED WITH THE GROWING NETWORK OF OTHER DEALERS WITH WHOM I COMMUNE.
THANKS FOR YOUR BUSINESS.
