Our service has no subscription fee, no obligations, and no purchase requirement. You don’t pay us a cent until you’re ready to buy a record. (Text message & data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan & carrier).

The first time you reply YES, we'll text you a secure link where you can provide your shipping address and credit card information. From then on, we'll use that info. You'll receive a receipt in an email, and shipping info in a text message. We will never ask for payment information in a text message. We use Stripe, a PCI Level 1 Service Provider, for payment processing.

At this time, our text-message recommendations and shopping features are only available to users in the United States.

The actual cost depends on the product, but our average shipping & handling fee on a vinyl record is $3.00. The shipping & handling cost will always be listed with the product in the text message.

Orders are usually delivered within 5 to 7 business days.

Of course. If something is wrong with the album, just reply with a picture and tell us some information about the problem. A helpful member of our Support team will reply with instructions for the return process.
