FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is RCRC?
A quarterly vinyl exchange where music lovers send and receive records in the mail. Think Secret Santa, but with vinyl and good vibes. No algorithms, no sponsors, just real people sharing what they love.
How do exchanges work?
- Join the club and sign up for the next quarterly exchange
- Get matched with someone to send a record to
- Pick a record from their wishlist in our shop
- We ship it for you – all personal info stays private
- Include a note or optional extras if you like
- Receive a surprise from your wishlist in the mail
Do I have to send a record?
Yes! Participating is how the magic works. If you miss the cutoff date, RCRC staff will send a record for you, and a $9.99 Santa’s little helper fee will be charged.
Can I include a personal note?
Absolutely. Optional notes are welcome and you can add extras if you’re feeling generous.
Can I join with friends/private groups?
Yes… soon! We’re building the option for private and genre specific groups, so you can connect with friends or fellow fans of a style you love.
How do I know the record I send is appreciated?
We can’t guarantee reactions, but every exchange is tracked, and the thrill of good mail is the point. Your secret santa will be given the option to send a thank you note or even gift in return. Most members love discovering the surprises that show up in their mailbox.
What if I want to send extra records?
You can purchase additional records to include in the exchange if you’re feeling generous – because fun surprises are always better.
Will my personal info be shared?
Never. We handle all shipping, tracking, and payment, so your info stays secure.
Will my secret santa see my address?
No, your group partner will not see or receive your address. Nor will you see their payment information. All purchases are secure and private.
