Frequently Asked Questions

Thanks for supporting Full Time Hobby and independent music!
We have tried to cover all the general and shipping information you might be looking for on this page, but if you have any further questions please drop us a mail via the contact form here.
Where we ship to
Worldwide shipping is available for most products listed in our store, except where rights restrictions may limit us; i.e. where we only have rights to sell within the UK / EU.
Where we ship from
The vast majority of orders are packed and shipped by us, from our office in London, UK. We now also offer tracked shipping.
Where possible, titles are also available for local shipping in the US - these orders are fulfilled by our local partner out of their Arizona facility.
*Please note that currently we are not shipping from our US fulfilment centre due to internal changes. We are looking to have this resolved as soon as possible.
Product-specific shipping information is shown on each individual product page, for transparency on where each item can be shipped from and to. Please note that stock levels vary and so certain formats / vinyl colourways may only be available from one location.
When we ship
We endeavour to have orders shipped within three working days of being placed. Pre-order items are sent out a few days ahead of release, so they arrive as close to the release date as possible. We'll do everything we can to get your order to you as quickly as possible, but please remember that once it has left us we cannot be responsible for how the delivery service gets your order to you.
When we ship if you order multiple items
Please note that if you buy a pre-order item alongside an item which is already released, to save you spending more than you need to on shipping, both items will be sent together on the release date of the pre-order item.
Product likenesses
When we announce new titles / pre-orders, we most likely do not yet have the stock in hand, meaning that we will use 'mock-ups' for imagery, showing what we reasonably expect the final product to look like.
We are always careful to ensure that these mock-ups are created to represent the finished stock that we are due to receive as closely as possible; however the vagaries of vinyl production may mean that you occasionally see small differences.
When we do get stock delivered, we will take photos ourselves and replace these on the store and it's likely that you'll notice little to no difference!
