Where do orders ship from?
Our record orders ship either from Be With HQ here in Manchester in the UK or from our distributor Word And Sound in Hamburg in Germany.
Our posters ship separately, from Manchester in the UK.
How are orders shipped?
If your record order weighs less than 2kg it will be shipped by Royal Mail here in the UK. All UK poster orders are also shipped by Royal Mail. For poster orders outside the UK we use either DPD or Royal Mail, depending on the country. If you are outside the UK, Royal Mail will hand your parcel over to your local postal service for the final delivery
If your record order weighs more than 2kg we will ship your order using a courier service of our choice. We usually use UPS, but we also use FedEx, DHL and DPD.
We can normally do this at no extra cost to you, but the high courier fees to some countries can sometimes make this impossible. In those rare situations we will get in touch with you to work out a solution.
Customers in the UK can choose to pay extra to have their order shipped by courier. Just pick the courier option when you check out.
If you are outside the UK and want us to use a courier service to ship your order then email webshop@bewithrecords.com before you order and we will get an exact quote for you.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping costs will vary depending on where in the world you are and which shipping method you choose. We have to ship posters separately from records when they are ordered together. We therefore charge extra shipping for these mixed orders.
We charge a flat shipping price for record orders, which means you pay the same for shipping no matter how many records you order or how much they weigh.
Customers in the UK get standard shipping for free if they spend £60 or more.
If you are ordering just 7"s or CDs we will charge you a reduced “small order” rate. This rate applies to orders of up to five 7"s or two CDs. It’s based on how many of these we can fit into what Royal Mail calls a “large letter”. If you order more than this, or your order also includes larger records or anything else then you will be charged our regular shipping rates.
UK customers will be given the option to ship their order with a courier service at the check out. If you are outside the UK and want your order to be shipped by courier then email webshop@bewithrecords.com before you order and we will get an exact quote for you.

Will I get a tracking number for my order?
If you have paid for your order to be sent using a tracked service or a courier service then yes, you will get a tracking code. This will be in your shipping confirmation email.
If you choose standard shipping then we will not have any tracking information for your parcel.
Do pre-orders ship separately from anything else in your order?
We ship everything in your order together in one parcel as soon as everything is available. This means that if your order includes a mixture of pre-orders and current releases we will wait until the pre-orders are ready before we ship your whole order.
If you don’t want to wait you’ll need to order your pre-orders separately.
“Where are my records?”
Should your order have arrived by now? We have a whole page dedicated to working out what might have happened.
