Thankyou to everybody that has made comments on this matter.
Below are the 2 e-mails that i have recieved from battery force,i have not sent any other e-mails to them,other than the e-mails that i have put on the forum.
I would like to say that anybody that has taken offence from anything that has happened between myself and battery force,i do apologize and please do not make any harsh decisions/judgements towards battery force due to what has happened,at the end of the day,battery force have many satisfied customers.The reason i did not recieve the batteries is my own fault,i may have been over the top with my second e-mail to them but to be honest,i am not that petty and would not have taken this matter any further anyway.The only thing that i am annoyed about is the comment that was put on their website about myself,which i believe was unfair to me and the fact that the promotion has been stopped due to me,i believe this was unfair to everybody.:((i have ommitted any names and personal details from the e-mails)
Many thanks to everybody on the forum and many thanks for the great competitions that you share with everybody.:beer:

Thank you for getting back in touch. We've passed your email for investigation.

You should expect to hear back from Battery Force within 7 working days.

Kind Regards,
Battery Force Customer Care.


Thank you for bearing with us while we investigate what happened with your winning promotional batteries.

Our investigations show you entered the daily draw and were notified that you had won on 30th November 2009. As promised, your winning pack of batteries was despatched via order number SBF0261903 also on 30th November 2009 to the address given by you when entering the competition. We notified you via email to confirm the despatch of the batteries as planned.

We have found the address you gave for delivery didn't include a house number.
We suspect Royal Mail returned the item to us because they didn't know where to deliver the parcel and not due to the recent adverse weather conditions which did not start until around the 17th December 2009.

Our competition was started in April 2005 and was aimed to be fun for entrants while allowing potential customers to try out our service. Of course, Battery Force has costs associated with the promotion and thus also aimed for it to be run as efficiently as possible. In view of the value of the prize, one way we can do this is to only ship the item once to the address given by the entrant and refrain from entering into correspondence relating to the promotion.

We've thought long about how this issue has been dealt with and are sorry you felt so strongly about our conduct. Taking into account the aims of the draw and the spirit of the draw we are happy to re-despatch a pack of batteries to you and hope that this will close the matter on a positive note. We have also decided to end the promotion.

For us to resend a pack of batteries, you will of course need to provide us with your house number.

We look forward to hearing back from you.

Yours sincerely,

Thanks for posting this, it is good to hear there will (hopefully)be a better outcome for you:T

This one is a daily - Gu Puds chocolates. I have won from this so can confirm its worth trying, along with many other MSE winners. HTH

It seems to be marked as EXPIRED though... when it definitely isn't - I entered today.

This is also an instant win:

Best thing is to have a look through the dailys thread in the Regular Competitions board - these are the ones I know of cos I enter them; ther may well be several others though

I think Darren the BG is just showing you that the place for conversations/discussions is here, in the the Comps Discussion Thread (called a sticky because it is 'stuck' at the top of the board) it doesn't disappear down into other pages. If you look at all of the posts on the main board they are individual competitions, you can't post a discussion in the middle of those HTH
