Thank you for visiting Acme Wax.

*OUR SHIPPING WILL DEFAULT TO YOUR PAYPAL SHIPPING ADDRESS*

Please make sure your address is correct both on Discogs and in PayPal before placing an order.

Transparency in Grading
*****************************
Items are not “play-graded." All items are visually graded using Goldmine/Discogs standards. If a potential pop or skip needs to be investigated, that section of the item will be play-tested on a hi-fi turntable, with a high-quality, MM cartridge and conical stylus on a properly balanced tone-arm. If an item is play-tested, results will be reported in the item description. When the grade of an item is questionable the item will be given the lower grade. All sealed items are assumed to be mint and graded as such.

While browsing our inventory, you may notice that Acme Wax recycles some of its item descriptions. Please be assured that each and every item in Acme Wax's inventory has been thoroughly evaluated. Discogs provides a drop-down menu of the seller's previous item descriptions and often the same description is appropriate for more than one item. Using this feature makes listing multiple items significantly easier. You are encouraged to Acme Wax with any questions before ordering.

Transparency in Pricing
***************************
All prices are listed in US dollars (USD). Currently Acme Wax uses Popsike.com, Discogs sales history and Discogs price suggestion feature to determine pricing. If you are interested in an item and the price is listed in a round dollar amount (eg. $30.00), Popsike and/or Discogs sales history was used to help to determine it's value. If the item is offered in anything other than a round dollar amount (eg. $12.16), Discogs' price suggestion feature was used.

Transparency in Temporary Store Closures
**************************************************
If you visit Acme Wax and find all the items unavailable for purchase, please be assured that we will reopen soon. Acme Wax will sometimes close randomly and without notice. If you have recently placed an order at Acme Wax and notice that the store has closed before you have received the item, please be assured that your item has been shipped. Acme Wax will not close without shipping all current orders.
