A Biggish Win but Advice Please

Hi All,

Please could you advise me. I got an email last week from Brighton Fashion Week saying I won their top prize of £200 Warehouse vouchers, as you can imagine I was chuffed to bits. It is only a week on but they haven't arrived. I know usually you would expect to wait for prizes but it said in the e-mail can you confirm details so we can get it out to you. Now on their website they have my name as the winner but it also says 'goodnight but not goodbye, thanks etc etc' . There is only e-mail addresses which I have e-mailed with no response and I have even tried e-mailing Warehouse enquiries no response.
What do you think???

:(

    the prizes are normally sent out by the sponsor pa team and can take up to 28 days, as its only a week id give it another week or 2 before emailing again, just my opinion x

    Congrats on a great win!

    I tend to wait 28 working days before chasing, I had a win turn up from over two months ago last week so I wouldn't start worrying for a while yet. Also bare in mind that with fashion week not long ending they will be very busy, as batgirl said you will get your prize in the end you just need a little patience.

    Congratulations.

    Wins that come within a couple of weeks are a rarity - I'd allow at least 28 days.
