TIPS FOR A GOOD SWAP

Puzzle Etiquette.

Puzzle quality should be in GOOD CONDITION. No trashy boxes, delaminated pieces, bug-ridden, water-damaged, strong-smelling (e.g., cigarette, musty/moldy, pets, etc), no excessive dust or hair. Trust me, this has all happened.

Ensure your puzzle is COMPLETE. All pieces should be accounted for.

(some people do not mind if there are 1 or 2 missing pieces. If you do have a puzzle with 1-2 missing pieces, label it on the OUTSIDE of the box on a small piece of tape or small sticker.)

Puzzles should be submitted in their original box. No bagged puzzles will be accepted. You may swap bagged puzzles directly with other people - just no leave-behinds for swaps.

Secure the Puzzle. Pieces can slip out with handing of if stored on end, so please secure your puzzle in some way. Bagging the pieces with a ziploc or taping the box closed are some options. Personally I prefer a bagged puzzle - you can open the box and look at the size, thickness and cut of the puzzle pieces.

Make it fun! See where the puzzle has traveled - write your name in the box cover, or on your last placed puzzle piece.

MAHALO!
