This is the email reply i got back from prima:

I have spoken with the client and they have apologised for the mistake.
They sent out the Biodroga Golden Caviar sets to the first ten entries
they received and have since received about another 100+ entries.

In order to rectify the situation they have agreed to send out another
ten sets at the close of the competition on 31st March as stipulated.

Once again since apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

So looks like its still open, so its fine to enter that comp:D

I got an envelope from BCI (Beauty Concepts International) in the post this morning..... was thinking it was a comp win at first, but opened it to find a compliment slip from them about this competition that reads:
Thank you for your Prima Magazine Prize Draw Entry
We have received your entry to win a Biodroga Golden Caviar Gift Set. The Draw will take place on 1st April and the winners will be notified.

It then goes on to tell me about an offer for 15% off but its good to know they are going to the trouble of acknowledging the entries after their mess up!!
First time I have had confirmation of a postal entry being received!! But it confirms what Princess Pixiedust has told us.

I've had this problem in the past when i've handwritten my address on postcards. It's one of the reasons i gave up on postal comps for a while as it's so annoying esp if you have sent it so it will arrive in time for the comp ending. Has a lot of ppl had this problem?

Also it was more annoying as my ex-bf (he's moving out in a couple of weeks) who thinks my comping rather tragic thought it was hysterical when he gave me all my postcards back. I made him go out to repost them. I may have missed the deadline now but they are going to get there eventually. As i sit here drinking diet coke and eating snack a jacks because of comps he may have a point that I take this too far.

T&C say this was pubished in other Trinity Mirror titles (not sure if this means its just the same comp or that the winner picked from entrants combined from other comps?).

I had one sent back yesterday and was gutted. It is so annoying. I sent about 100 out last week, so I guess 1 back isn't so bad. I did labels on the next bunch of 100 I did, and I put my postcode on the same line as my town so we will see if any of those get sent back. If they do I think I might put the dot's back in, as I understand this confuses the maching as in I.L.7.

If your sad, so am I, very very..... i've even cut down on the supermarket shopping so I can buy 100 stamps a week :eek: ... don't fret we aren't starving.... although that might do my diet some good.

Hmmmm not happy just had five of my postcard delivered to me...Never had this problem before but i just started printing stickers and even though i used proper postcards put the stickers on facing the other way and put the answers about the address it seems like the machine must read the sticker rather than my dodgy writing. AHHHHh very annoying.
