I've been recommending Snow Records for years to anyone who will listen long enough for me to tell them that they are the source of the cheapest anti-static inner sleeves I've ever come across. They also have a fantastic and huge range of used records. I needed some more inner sleeves, so I went to their website to order some up and was shocked at the price. I first bought sleeves from there in June 2009 and I paid £15.13 per 100, so £0.15p each (back then, postage was free as I bought a couple of hundred). Today, I've just paid £5.83 per hundred and postage for 3 packs was about £11, so a total of £29.39. This makes them just a gnat's nadger under £0.10p each. Compare that to other sources within the UK and you will see what a saving these are. (£21.84 for 50, on Amazon, for example - that's almost £0.44p each!!) They are identical to the D-shaped Nagaoka ones, so some people may not like them, preferring the lined paper type, but I put them inside the paper inner and they work fine. What a bargain! Buy, buy, buy!!! |

That is indeed a bargain, thanks for sharing.

I like Snow Records, as you know. I hadn't compared their anti-static inner sleeve prices, though, and steered away in case they were anything but the D-shaped Nagaoka style. These are the very best type, IMO. Thanks for that, I have about 50 left but will order my next batch from them. Together with a record or two...

Buy, buy, buy!!!Yep, initially I thought not for me because of there being no paper cover, but on reflection, utilising original cover material together they are as you say, a bargain. Like it and will order some  ? |

Nice. Please give us a link. They are the MA Recordings inner sleeves, Greg, which I spoke of in this thread here. Scott (contrary to the spirit of our rules) will be mentioning them because he sells them, as is often the case with his posts here. I've edited Scott's post accordingly. Maybe it's a good time to recall what our forum rules actually say about this: |

Ordering 4 packs I get
Subtotal £23.76
Shipping (SAL Parcel) £27.50
Grand Total £51.26
Should the shipping be that much ?

That's quite a lot. Maybe my three packs hits a sweet spot in the packaging costs and four puts it into a different category. I've always found Snow to be fair with their postal costs. You didn't choose a premium delivery service did you? I go for bog standard cheapest.

Wondered about the sweet spot
SAL Parcel is slightly less than the other

....but find they only work if slotted inside card index sleeves or paper inners as they are very thin & flexible That's exactly how they are intended to work though isn't it? It also means that you can continue to use picture inner sleeves as they were intended, rather than relegating them to being something extra stuffed into the outer sleeve. |

Maybe we should do a group buy on these from Snow?
I have used them myself and they are superb as per the OP's initial post.
As stated shipping kills it but if we buy enough that may come down pro rata.

300 seems to be the sweet spot in the postage price structure, but a gang of folks might command some proper discount, yes.

I like D-shaped inner sleeves and get through them, so happy to be part of a group buy. Don't forget that whoever does the buying will need to redistribute them in the UK, so the savings may not be much at all.

I would guess it's now up to everyone to make their own mind up, but if you have a valuble collection is any risk worth taking?
