In order to calculate accurate shipping quotes for our customers this website links directly to software provided by the US Postal Service.

According to the USPS they have "continued to experience intermittent system interruptions" in their service and this has resulted in several of our customers experiencing "system errors" when attempting to checkout from our store.

The USPS is working to fix the bug in their shipping tools but in the meantime we have installed a back-up system for calculating postage if/when the USPS software fails in the future. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions about your order or continue to have difficulty please email us at orders[at]dischord.com or call 703-351-7507.

Please be advised if you are ordering items for the holiday season that our delivery estimations are based on the date your order is shipped and not necessarily the date it is ordered. The vast majority of our packages go out within 48 hours (and in may cases well before that) but once they are out the door a specific delivery date cannot be guaranteed.

Also, during the high-volume holiday season packages can sometimes take longer to arrive from the USPS than normal. While Media Mail packages generally arrive within 7-10 days of being shipped they can sometimes take up to 3 weeks to deliver. If you need your order to arrive by a certain date you may want to consider using First Class or Priority delivery options.

Gift Packaging for Vinyl: Please note that Basla routinely removes the records from their covers before shipping them to prevent the periodic tearing of covers from records moving inside the sleeve. If you're ordering vinyl as a gift and would prefer for the record to remain in its shrink-wrap please include a note and we'll keep it sealed for you.

Due to the renewed interest in vinyl LPs Dischord Records is remastering and re-cutting much of our vinyl catalog here in the United States. We will begin by re-pressing current titles, and later re-issuing others, all re-cut at Chicago Mastering Service and featuring complimentary MP3 album downloads. This move will coincide with a small but long overdue price increase (from $10 to $11 on Dischord 12" LPs and from $8 to $9 for 12" EPs) that will begin with newly pressed titles and extend to all titles in January 2009.

The following remastered vinyl titles are available NOW:
Minor Threat Out of Step 12" EP (now on 45 rpm, new cover from original drawings, black vinyl)
Minor Threat First 2 7 inches 12" EP (now on 45 rpm, new yellow cover, black vinyl)
Faith/Void Split LP (on purple vinyl)
One Last Wish 1986 (first time on LP!)

Many more remastered titles will be available on 12" LP in the next weeks and months so stay tuned.
