:mad::mad::mad: I received a thick envelope today from one of the comps Ive entered, but it was in a Royal mail apology plastic bag as they claim it had been damaged. Well it had obviously been slit open. Possibly as it has 'winner' printed in small writing on a corner. My heart sunk as I knew any prize would be lost.:(. Well I imagine the horrid person who tampers with other peoples mail felt a bit miffed as well, when I looked inside it was the company offering me a % off if I place an order as I hadnt won the main prize. Never have I been more Happy to lose:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It makes you wonder how many unannounced prizes you may have won have ended up in someone else's hands, doesn't it? I once won a £50 Asda gift card that never turned up that 'someone' had signed for while I was out at work!
Naughty people, at least it wasn't anything worthwhile xx0 -
At the moment I'm quite suspicious of my new mail man... for the last month I've had a new mailman, and so far this month only had 6 wins, only 3 of those arriving via Royal Mail (feel free to compare to my "usual" win amount in my sig... apart from Jan, as I had just started comping).
Today I came home early, and was happy to see my "old" mailman doing his deliveries (he's lovely!)... and lo and behold, two little prizes had actually managed to find their way to my house via Royal Mail.
To Op - sorry to hear your mail had been tampered with.0 -

Hi I am a postman, I handle thousands of items of mail each day and I can assure you that myself and my co workers are an honest bunch of hard working peeps, but there's always a bad apple. I'm sorry you have had issues and I am saying sorry from the honest hardworking people at Stevenage Mail centre.Here's hoping we win what we want and want what we win!!!.
My Jan 2011 wins: £250 white stuff Fashion clothing vouchers. Thanks WALWIN
