Hi all! I'd like to host a little Lumi giveaway, but before I start it I've got a quick question:
I'd like to do a giveaway for a custom made resin ornament (an RL item). Is this type of giveaway still allowed? I didn't see any giveaways for RL items and I couldn't find an answer anywhere to if these types are okay. I'm super sorry if that's answered somewhere and I missed it!! I assume they're alright as we can sell real world items on the art market, but I wanted to double check to be sure.
Thank you so much for your time, everyone!!
After a quick overview of the rules I didn't see anything suggesting it wasn't allowed. The main problem I see is the time limit - depending on the shape/size of the item, if an international user wins there may be some issues with meeting the deadline. (Once completed, all prizes or rewards must be distributed within one month;)
However, when it comes to rules/interpretation/etc its usually best to submit a ticket and ask.
We can give all the advice we want, but in the end you're the one who would get in trouble if we're wrong.

Thank you for the answer! I suppose it'd be best to not do it then since the item would be out of my hands after it went to the post office and I couldn't control how long it takes to reach the recipient if they're international. The ornaments themselves only take me 3 days to make, but I don't want to get in any sort of trouble with shipping.
Thank you again for helping me out :D
This giveaway occurred recently -- while the initial post has been wiped, I recall the giveaway was limited to US only addresses to get around excess postage fees/times. Limiting your giveaway may suit you better. c:
