Won - but no prize

Is there anyone else here that is still waiting for prizes, big or small?
I am waiting on a few little ones, some of them been waiting since June. Anyone else in the same boat?
I have emailed some of the runners of the competitions, but haven't had any luck/ replies so far.
It is always nice to get a win, but it looses some of the appeal when the prize doesn't ever arrive.
Trying my best to save where I can......

  • I won a dvd about 6 weeks ago and they said it has been posted out but never received it. I suppose it's also luck as to whether you receive the prize!

    I won an instant win teddy thing last year (there was loads of winners) but it never arrived.

    Also won a CD from Songpeople in July, despite many emails to them it's never arrived.

    This is so bad, I hadn't realised that this could happen, very naive of me. I suppose the moral is not to get too excited until the win arrives. How mean of them.

    I had an issue with my PS2 that I won in July; received it about two weeks ago! I took the advice on one of the pages on here by contacting an independant person and he chased it and sorted it out for me. In the beginning I was ringing them and getting nowhere so I took the advice on here and lo and behold I received it (they even put an additional game in for the 'inconvenience'!)

  • I'm a Bowtime winner from a while back and no sign of any prize!

    (Same with the Grolsch glass - a friend got 2 when he applied once, and I applied twce and got nothing!)
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
