/r/DVDCollection Gift Exchange FAQ's



1. Am I Supposed To Send A Movie To Someone? Who?

Short answer is yes. You can view the matches by visiting this link . The rules state that you are required to purchase at least one item off of their wishlist. It can be in either new or used shape, and cannot be a bootleg.



2. My match doesn’t have a wishlist link on the page, what do I do?

Their wishlist isn’t there because they either didn’t send us one or they sent us an incorrect link when attempting to share their wishlist on the registration form. Send them a PM, ask them for their wishlist URL (if they have one) to help you shop.



3. How Do I Get My Match’s Address?

We do not collect personal addresses to publish because this is a privacy concern and would violate Reddit’s content policy. If your match does not have a shipping address attributed to their wishlist, send them a PM so you can make sure you get the correct place to send to.



4. My Match Only Has Really Expensive Things In Their Wishlist!

While it sucks to put a strain on your wallet, you’re not required to buy off of Amazon. Hit up various second-hand stores in your area to see if you can find something from their list at a cheaper price.



5. When Is The Shipping Deadline?

This was noted in the header of the signup post when you signed up, but it is easy to have it slip your mind with life happening outside of the subreddit.

The deadline for this specific gift exchange is June 10, 2017.



6. What Do I Do When I Receive My Gift?

Make a new post here.

Take some pictures, upload them to imgur and do a new link post to your photo album and show off what you got!



7. I Messaged My Match A Few Days Ago And Haven't Heard Anything Back, What Do I Do?

Chances are we are still at the beginning of the Gift Exchange when you're thinking this. Not everybody logs into reddit on a daily basis. Keep on waiting. If you don't hear from them in a week, PM them again.



If we get closer to the shipping deadline that's displayed above, then shoot a PM over to the mods and we'll try and reach out to your gifter/giftee.



8. Is It Too Late To Get In On This?

If this is Round 1, no. Stay tuned for the Round 2 sign up post that we do for those who missed round 1.



If this is Round 2, yes. No new signups will be taken until the next exchange 6 months down the road.

9. I signed up but my name isn't on the list, what gives?!?

First, consider your activity here on the subreddit. If you haven't participated in the community in the past few months, you aren't permitted to participate - if you wish to participate in future exchanges, then we strongly advise that you actually participate in our community.
