How should I ship two vinyl LPs?
Ah, a box question. I knew that if I waited long enough, somebody would ask something related to my life-work. From what I recall of the misty past, when I received records in the mail from the Columbia House record club, they were shipped in one-piece folders (a particular style of box) with little or no added padding. I’m not sure if that would still be possible now when records are a less-common thing to ship via mail. Still, if I were in the same position, I would look for a one-piece folder or a variable-depth folder of appropriate size (probably 12-1/2 x 12-1/2 x 1). A quick glance through a stock box catalog shows that these are still readily available, though if you purchase them from a box company, they’re probably going to want you to purchase at least a bundle (of 25 or 50). Your best bet is to find a store that specializes in shipping stuff: The Packaging Store; Mailboxes, Etc.; Postal
