When we send out a DVD for a review the reviewer gets to keep it. We don't ask for it back. We've already spent $3.20+ to send it out Priority Mail. Why spend another $3.20+ to get it back? (I don't need that much porn. ) Besides, writing a good review takes a lot of time and effort. It would be rather unfair to ask for them back when we get them for free. When we pay for them we sometimes request that they be returned so we can send them out to another reviewer.
If the reviewers want to start swapping titles that's up to them. We would love to get more reviews for the DVDs we send out. (If you swap titles on your own dime please don't feel obligated to submit a review but would appreciate it if you have the time.) Shipping costs can be expensive though. It might be worth it for a disc you're really interested in and it's a helluva lot cheaper than buying it at a store. If you go this route please be conscious of giving out any personal information and/or shipping addresses. Most people are harmless but you can never be too cautious.
If you are interested in getting DVDs for review we ask that you submit a couple of reviews as writing samples for DVDs that you have previously purchased. If Steph likes your stuff then there's a chance that you'll get some DVDs. No guarantees.
