Applestump Records offer a number of delivery and collection options, you can choose your preferred delivery/collection method at the checkout.

​

In stock items

​

Orders placed before 2pm will usually be shipped the same day, provided all items are in stock. 
Orders placed after 2pm will usually be shipped the following day, provided all items are in stock.
Orders placed after 2pm on a Friday, or over the weekend, will be shipped on Monday, provided all items are in stock.

We do our best to keep our stock levels up to date but there may be times when items sell out between you placing your order and us picking it. We will let you know as soon as we can if this is the case.

 

We also offer local pickup from our premises and free delivery in the CW1 and CW5 postcodes.
 

Out of stock items

 

Some items listed on our website are not kept in stock all the time and need to be ordered in from our suppliers, such as in the case of records marked 'online only', 'website exclusive' or 'online exclusive'. Although most of our distributors ship to us very quickly, they can take a little longer than the estimated time in busy periods (around Record Store Day, Christmas etc).

Your order will be shipped once all items are in stock. If you'd like one of your items shipped before the others please let us know in the comments, this will incur an additional delivery charge.

​

Pre-orders

​

New records are usually released on a Friday. Where we can we'll ship pre-orders on Thursday, so you have your order on the day of release, although this may not be possible in some circumstances. 
If you use the local pick up option, your order will be ready to collect on the day of release ie Friday.

As much as we'd like to, we're not allowed to let you pick up items before the release date.

Release dates can be subject to change. We'll update release dates on the site as soon as we know of any changes.

Pre-orders are shipped as and when they arrive.

​

Turntables and HiFi Equipment

Turntables and HiFi equipment are shipped directly from the supplier and, in most cases, can be ordered either for collection from store or delivered to your home address. If you have any issues with your purchase please contact us on shop@applestumprecords.com.

​

International Shipping

​

Due to the headache of import and export taxation and the added complications introduced with Brexit, alas it is not as simple as hitting a switch and turning on international shipping.

 

Therefore we use our Discogs platform to fulfil these orders. This is great as Discogs take away all the pain of taxation by taking this from the buyer and passing it on to the relevant authority. What's not so great, is that Discogs (and Paypal who administer the payment) do not provide this service for free which means that items shipped internationally via Discogs are approximately 10% higher than those shipped within the UK.

​

We use Royal Mail's International Tracked service for all overseas orders. These vary depending on the size of order and where in the world they are being sent which is automatically calculated, along with any taxation, on the Discogs platform.

​

We do not list all of our stock on Discogs so please contact us here for a private sales link and any more information you require.

​

Please note: We do not ship turntables or hi-fi accessories overseas.
