Hi Brandon, The only difference that I recommend to those who ship records for transfer is to put a square of cardboard between each record and then two layers on the outside (as shown in the link). If the records are without sleeves or the sleeves are in bad condition, I recommend a wrap of tissue paper for each record. I also recommend that the sender use Styrofoam "peanuts" because they are collectively superior at absorbing the shocks of shipping (PITA to unpack though) and, provide at least 4 inches of peanuts on each side of the record bundle. Cheers!
