Frequently asked questions

Here is a list of some of the questions we are regularly asked. If these don't answer your question, please get in touch via our contact form and we will assist you.

Why do we have to buy our first puzzle from you?

Our goal is to provide a quality jigsaw exchange and when a puzzle is new, we know that all the pieces are there. If we accepted non-exchange jigsaws, we have no control over the quality and completedness of our puzzles without doing every puzzle ourselves (or counting all the pieces) and unfortunately, we don't have time to do that for every puzzle.

What does the membership fee cover?

Membership fees cover the costs of puzzle upkeep including replacing damaged puzzles. It also includes basic administration, website maintenance and our time.

Do you only exchange Ravensberger puzzles?

At this stage, we only have Ravensberger puzzles. This is because they are one of the best jigsaw puzzle brands for quality, piece size, puzzle variety and more. We may add other quality brands in the future but I'm sure you will find that the range we have will suit most people's preferences.

Why do you have an online membership option?

This is mainly because we keep getting calls and messages to ask if there is a similar exchange in Brisbane, Sydney, Tamworth, Townsville and other places. For this reason, we may offer an online postage based membership to the exchange if the need is there.

Help! I've lost a puzzle piece!

If you lose a puzzle piece, please let us know when you return the puzzle. We work on an honesty system but we do weigh (or labourisly count) each puzzle on return so that the next person who does it isn't disappointed. If you do lose a piece, keep an eye out for it as it may reappear after you return the puzzle. Once a puzzle piece is missing, we regretfully have to take the puzzle out of circulation. We have factored this into our membership fees however, we may charge a member for a replacement puzzle if it happens regularly.

What size puzzles do you have in the exchange?

We have a large selection of 500 and 1000 piece puzzles. These puzzles are all interchangeable as part of your membership. For puzzles that are 1500 - 2000 pieces, a deposit of $35 is required. This deposit will be returned to you once the puzzle is returned complete. If you are looking for bigger puzzles 2000+ pieces, please let us know as we may add some to our library if the need is there.

Membership Options

Our membership fees cover the costs of puzzle upkeep, basic administration, website maintenance and our time.
All members must purchase their first puzzle from us (though this is included in the annual membership) so we can maintain our puzzle quality.
We only stock A+ puzzle brands though there is a smaller variety of other puzzles available for swap based on your preferences. See our FAQ or Terms & Conditions for more information.

Our Team

We are a family owned and we love jigsaw puzzles. In 2018, we decided to help other jigsaw puzzle enthusiasts with their hobby by providing a cost effective jigsaw exchange right here on the Sunshine Coast. We are currently running the exchange from home but we may set up at local markets and libraries in the near future.
