Shipping Vinyl Records and CDs

Protect your music treasures during transit. Safely ship vinyl records and CDs, and trust FreightCenter for reliable and secure shipping solutions.

Shipping vinyl records and CDs requires special care. Whether you’re a music lover selling your collection or a retailer sending products to customers, it’s crucial to package vinyl records and CDs securely to ensure that they arrive at their destination in pristine condition. Here are some easy-to-follow tips on properly packaging and shipping vinyl records and CDs.

How to Ship Vinyl Records

 

When shipping vinyl records, follow these steps:

 

  • Remove the record from the outer sleeve and place it in a clean polyethylene bag.
  • Insert the record and any additional inserts, such as lyric sheets or posters, into the inner sleeve.
  • Close the inner sleeve and place it in a resealable polyethylene bag for protection.
  • Wrap the record in bubble wrap or use foam inserts to create a cushioning effect.
  • Place the wrapped record inside the record mailer or sturdy cardboard box, ensuring a snug fit.
  • Fill empty spaces in the box with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to prevent movement during transit.
  • Seal the box securely using packaging tape and label it as fragile.

 

How to Ship CDs

 

When shipping CDs, follow these steps:

 

  • Remove the CD from its jewel case and place it in a clean polyethylene bag.
  • Inspect the jewel case for any cracks or damage. Replace it if necessary.
  • Wrap the CD case in bubble wrap or use foam inserts for protection.
  • Place the wrapped CD case inside a padded envelope or small cardboard box.
  • Fill empty spaces in the box with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to prevent movement.
  • Seal the box securely using packaging tape and label it as fragile.

Cost of Shipping Vinyl Records and CDs

 

Shipping is relatively cheap when shipping vinyl records and CDs. Consider the cost of packing materials plus the cost of sending your vinyl records and CDs in the mail, and your cost should come out to be just a little over $6. Shipping costs can vary depending on the weight and dimensions of your vinyl records and CDs and the time it takes during transit. 

Finely-tailored freight solutions

To create value for our customers by delivering customized shipping solutions that meet their unique needs and to fulfill shipping demands from simple to complex with expertise, guidance and ingenuity.

LTL Shipping

LTL shipping involves combining multiple small shipments from different customers onto one truck, allowing each customer to share the shipment cost. Trust the experts at FreightCenter to give you the best prices and the most comprehensive options for all your LTL freight shipping needs.

Full Truckload

Truckload shipping, also known as full truckload (FTL), is a transportation option for freight that requires the entire trucks trailer space. Unlike LTL shipping, FTL shipping is reserved for larger commodities that exceed LTL weight and size limits, typically weighing more than 20,000 pounds or having dimensions that exceed 12 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8 feet in height. We deliver optimized solutions for full or partial truckloads and competitive dry van, flatbed, and refrigerated freight pricing. We can cover your full truckload shipping needs.

Expedited Services

Nationwide Expedited Trucking services move your freight securely and rapidly. Your freight requires fast delivery; our freight shipping experts can get your shipment fast, whether in one large box or a full truckload. Expedited shipping is a transportation option that prioritizes the speed of delivery for freight that needs to be shipped quickly. This can be especially important for urgent situations, such as engine repairs or replacements for critical machinery.

Specialized Freight Shipping

Specialized is a transportation option for items that require specialized handling, equipment, or shipping conditions. Specialized shipments may include high-value cargo, oversized cargo, or cargo that require temperature-controlled transportation. The most reliable Specialized Freight Services rates from all the top carriers are just a few steps away. From white glove service to international shipping, we've got you covered.
