If you’ve ever tried buying records online from overseas, you may notice that shipping is often prohibitively expensive. I’ve compiled a list of record stores with cheap international shipping on vinyl records. Allowing you to buy vinyl from the UK or the USA without it costing you an arm and a leg.
grooves.land
Grooves.land offers free international shipping on orders over $22.40

ImportCDs
ImportCDs offers international shipping to most countries for $5 per record. It’s a good deal if you’re buying one specific deal from them but it can quickly add up if you buy multiple records. They have a huge range of vinyl records and CDs and often have 10% – 20% off sales.
Warner Music Store
Warner Music Store has a fixed shipping cost for all international orders and charges $9.99 to ship as many records as you want, as far away as you live.

Juno Records
Juno Records is another UK based store. They charge just £3.60 per record sent via the Royal Mail’s First-Class Airmail. Not bad.
LPs cost a very low £3.60 to ship internationally.

I haven’t tried any of the above record stores (except Amazon UK, which was very good) but after testing their checkout systems with a bunch of exotic countries it seems that these are the best places to buy vinyl with the lowest international shipping prices for vinyl records.
I’ll keep updating this post to add stores with cheap vinyl record shipping as I find them.

When buying vinyl overseas, have you ever been charged with extra fees upon delivery, like customs, VAT, taxes, courier, or brokerage fees?

I have bought from vinylminerecords.com a couple of times, considering the price of shipping that other record stores have, I think the website should be included in this list because not only is the shipping cost reasonable, the price of the used records in NM is also very cheap. Plus the package is fantastic, A+. They give you proper sleeves for your lp and the cover. Highly recommended.
