I have purchased a lot of vinyl over the internet the last five years. And yes, I have had to send some back due to defects. I have had some severe defects which make me wonder if any human being is even in the manufacturing process loop. Yes, you have to return the vinyl on your dime, and it can be a hassle. One time a "Internet Vendor" called me at home to complain that I had taped the glob of vinyl waste to the destroyed record. We "exchanged words" and that was the last order I ever placed with them. So it goes with this hobby!
