How many prizes have you not received this year?

I was just wondering whether I am unlucky or maybe my postie is pinching lol!

A mug [REC]
Pets goodie bag from a facebook win
T-shirt & CD from Scott Mills
Signed Buried Poster cant remember who that was!
£20 Boots Vouchers from Blushbomb

But also i've not had a £5 amazon voucher from a survey on madeformums & I won a £10 voucher from Competition Resource which is a dud, but the site is nowhere to be found now :(

The pets goodie bag lady said she'd sent it, i've also had hair straightners resent because they got "lost in the post" the first time.


Theres probably some other teeny bits in there that havent turned up aswell but I cant think off the top of my head!

My second little girl entered the world 20/03/2010 - 11 days late! 8lbs 4oz

    All my prizes have eventually turned up (still waiting for a few from October but they aren't over the 28 days yet). If you want the prizes and haven't received them then you should contact the ISP or whatever they are called these days and see if they can help. Obviously first step would be to contact the promoter but it sounds like you have already done that.

    I do wonder about those prizes that just turn up though. I'd never know if i one got 'lost in the post'...
    2008: £783.12 - 2009: £6,401.15 - 2010: £4,230.61 - 2011: £8720 - 2012: £2,041.89
    2013: £134.96

    Still waiting for 3.

    2 mini footballs from Feb
    CD from Kiss since August
    Scarf from Everyday sale since May

    I am not holding out much hope for any of them.

    I have contacted Kiss via e-mail and Facebook loads of times but I am just getting ignored.
    BEST WIN LAST YEAR - MULBERRY HANDBAG

  • I've had a few prizes not turn up, one was a goody bag that was resent, never received it the second time. I also won a £50 Asda gift card that was sent recorded delivery that was signed for by someone, definitely not me! Luckily I was given a replacement cheque from the newspaper I won it from.
    Also things that are not prizes haven't turned up, replacement bank cards and so on.
    I sent myself an old Matalan card through the post just to check but it turned up safe and well
  • Still waiting for my cuddly Koala which i won on 3rd September:(
  • My Koala also never turned up :( - from waaaaaaaaay back when - one of my first wins of the year.

    Have had a couple that I needed to harrass the prizegivers by email before they arrived - :D - never give up! never surrender!
  • Still waiting for a signed indian cookbook that i won ages ago. Grr.
