Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Hum: You'd Prefer an Astronaut is a great album. I like this one a lot. I give it 4½ stars.

I ordered Hum: You'd Prefer an Astronaut from Polyvinyl. It arrived very quickly. The order was accepted, packaged, processed, and delivered within a week. I've never had any issues with them. It is a great 1990's record. I've listened to this album since way back in the day. It's great to have it on the clear green vinyl at 45 rpm.
Thank you Polyvinyl,
Justin P.

Paying taxe

Well good production, came from far away so a bit long to receive. But what I didn't like is that they didn't tell me when I entered the shipping adress that i would have to pay a taxe because of the travel. I paid 16€ when it arrived and had to pay it or else they would have to take it back. Yes maybe they don't know how much it will be depending on the area or country, but just letting people know that they could pay a tax in case they're far away would have been appreciated.

Slow shipping but airheads 😍😍

Shipping was slow since it was thanksgiving, but you get an airhead and points towards free stuff which is neat. The records came in a box and were slightly injured in the corner but that’s what you get for ordering online ig. Would recommend for the airhead alone!.

Really Bad LP's, Regret Purchasing

I am very frustrated with the quality of the records I've gotten from this company. I got Alvvvays and Strfkr brand-new from them, both dreamy kinds of music, and both albums are plagued by static and pops no matter how thoroughly I've washed them. These defects completely tear down the songs and break there immersion. The next time i want a record and Polyvinyl is producing it, I am definitely going for the CD version.

Really good site

I ordered some records from the US to Denmark, and already got them within a week! They had a nice selektion of music by Of Montreal that I wasn't able to find anywhere else. Really good site, I will definitely shop there again.
