    I have been comping properly for nearly two months now and am a bit confused. I won a couple of things early on that still haven't been delivered, yet a digital camera arrived at my house out of the blue today!!! I know it was a comp win as I add an initial to my name to make it easier when sorting the post! Is it okay to chase up prizes by email after a month or so?

    Was there anything written in the T&Cs of the competitions that state a prize would be delivered within 'x' amount of days? If so, and that length of time has passed, then it's worth sending a polite enquiry.

    Ah, I didn't think of that. I've got to go out but I'll do some checking later - thanks:)

    Doesn't look good redbull, if you type the number in Google, who calls me comes up with Consumer Credit Services (debt collectors). Definitely not one to call back :sad:
