Had a WEMN for an iPod Touch :D But, needs collecting from Sheffield :(( **UPDATED**

Jokey

Just received this email:

Hi
Back in September/October you entered Travel South Yorkshire's free Grin up North prize draw.
The competition has now closed and I am delighted to confirm that you have been selected as the winner.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
You have won a brand new Apple iPod Touch.
Please respond to this email by 19 December 2010 to confirm you are able to collect your prize from the address below. Please suggest a time/date that will be best for you. If we have not heard from you by this time we will draw another winner.
Congratulations again and thank you for taking the time to enter our competition.

I live in Wirral so no way of getting it. I've asked if they will send it if I pay postage & she said she ideally needs a photo with the winner.

Do you think I should just ask her to redraw?

You could ask them to post it and then email a picture of you with prize, if thats what they want?

maybe some kind soul on here could pick it up for you and post it ( i live in Aberdeen so unable to)

Well done on your win

Did it say collection only when you entered? If not, kick up a stink.

But surely it's worth crossing the Pennines for an iPod Touch, isn't it? I assume you don't drive, but you must know _someone_ who does?
Or even a train / coach ticket has got to be less than what you'd get for this on eBay, isn't it?

Jokey

No, it didn't mention it when I entered or I would have left it.

No, I don't drive & don't know anyone that would be willing to make that journey. It's quite a way from here.

I agree this sounds like a good option becuase then they are still getting their picture I hope you manage to get it

Jokey

I asked them a while ago but they haven't got back to me. I'll just have to wait now

Thanks everyone x

OMG, that's so kind of you, are you sure? I don't want to put anyone out

I would, of course, reimburse the costs & petrol costs etc! If you are sure & you have no problem picking it up then I will PM you, thank you, you're an angel. Never fails to surprise me at how kind people can be on here :A xx
