# Why did my record arrive pre-opened?
## We routinely open record sleeves to ensure it is the correct color vinyl and to test the pressing for quality assurance.
- LPs are handled with care. Opened records are re-sealed in plastic outer sleeves before shipping.
- OBI strips, hype stickers and original shrink wrap are still included where applicable.
