Giveaway FAQ

Why are your giveaways only open to U.S. residents?

Due to the significantly high international shipping costs and the complex variations in international laws and regulations regarding giveaways, our giveaways are currently limited to U.S. residents only (who constitute the vast majority of our readership). Please be aware that shipping for giveaways is handled differently than normal product shipping.

Will your giveaways ever be open to other countries?

While currently our giveaways are limited to the United States, we are always evaluating ways to potentially expand our reach in the future. Thank you for your patience — we hope to serve all of our readers the best we can, wherever they live.

Why are your giveaways only open to adults, age 18 or older?

Entering a giveaway implies acceptance of our giveaway terms and conditions by an adult, who can legally agree to those terms. To ensure responsible participation, minors who wish to enter our giveaways are required to ask a parent or legal guardian to enter for them.

How are winners selected?

Winners are randomly selected from among all valid entries.

How are winners notified?

The winner(s) of our giveaways are notified by email, if available, or via social media.

How long do winners have to claim their prize?

The winner(s) of our giveaways have 72 hours to respond to our notification.

What happens if a winner doesn't claim their prize?

We work diligently to follow-up with winners who don't respond. However, if we are unsuccessful after the 72-hour window, the winner is voided and a new winner is randomly selected.
