in I won! I won! I won!
Sorry I know this has been asked loads of times but how long do you wait for a prize to arrive? I got a WEM on June 30th saying I have won with now mag but still haven't recieved anything.... I don't mind waiting but not sure how long before I should contact them :confused:

I'm also awaiting a win from July 8th and one from way before then

Thanks

    Hi, i think you should send them an email because most prizes should be with you within a month/28 days. I won an ipod with Now mag a couple of months ago, it took about three weeks to arrive from a separate PR company.

    I think this is all covered in VelvetGlove's new comping guide sticky.

    Hope you get it sorted! :)

    I'm still waiting for 2 from Now mag and one from Pick me up mag, I know its not the magazines fault but it does make you cross.
