Please feel free to move this if it is in the wrong area :confused:

Is it me or have we not had many mse winners of the month end comps (31st July), or do most comps take a while to get in touch with the winners?

    They vary enormously. Some draw it straight away and others clearly state they won't draw it for a couple of weeks.

    In addition, some companies don't let you know you've won but just send the prize. I won a prize from Baby Expert last week and it just turned up out of the blue two weeks after the end of the comp.

    I agree with above - thanks to lauraland I had a pair of remington curling tongs turn up last friday - I'd never won from a fabulous mag competition so was thrilled. Checking the date on the original comp it ended on the 24/05 so took over two months to receive them! Lovely surprise though as didn't get a WEM.

    So hopefully we've all got loads more presents winging their way to us (slowly)

    I've noticed there hasn't been as many wins on here lately actually :confused: my wins have definately slowed down loads. Hopefully there will be plenty of mse wins over the month

    Yep it really varies. Some send prizes out within a few days, and some take months.
