Help Center - How do I direct my request for a CD to a specific member?

Search Terms:

Requests at SwapaCD are submitted in FIFO order, unless the button on the member's CD Tower is used to order the CD. 

To direct your request to a specific member:

 

  • Go to the member's CD Tower
    • Locate the CD on her CD Tower.
  • Click the ON HER CD Tower (and nowhere else) in order to be sure the request goes to that member.
    • Tip: Before you click the button, look at the page you are on. If "[member]'s CD Tower" does NOT appear at the top of this page, you are ordering from the CD Details page, and your request may go to someone else.
    • If you have clicked the CD cover/title on the CD Tower to read more about the CD:
      • you will be on the CD Details page (which also has an "Order this CD" button on it). GO BACK to the member's CD Tower to click the "Order this CD" button there--use your browser's "back" button.
    • You can confirm from whom you have requested the CD after completing the request process:
      • by clicking   on the transaction on your account page, and seeing whose name "pops up" in the To: field of the empty PM. If it is not the intended member's name, cancel this request and try again.  Don't send a Personal Message unless it is the correct sender, though--if a requestor sends a PM to a sender during the one hour "waiting period" after a request  is submitted, the waiting period will be terminated, and the request will be submitted to the sender immediately.
      • You can cancel at any point up until the wrapper is printed by the sender. Once that has happened, the requestor can no longer cancel, and should not ask the sender to cancel either.
