Hi
just venting my frustration of being told on the 14th Dec that I had won a chocolate hamper on the QUIDCO Christmas Book competition. I was sent an email at 14:52 and replied at 15:07 with my details as requested. I have just got in from work to find an email saying as I hadn't replied they are picking a new winner!!!
How unfair is that. I have emailed them and forwarded the email that I replied with. Don't know how I stand. Jane

    That's disgusting, there's got to be a mistake surely.

    :( hope you can sort it out, seems very unfair xx
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png




  • Do you still have the e-mail that you sent in the specified time period in your sent items? Surely if you forward that on as proof that you replied they would then have to give you the prize otherwise that's not fair!

    I hope you get it sorted :(

    I would hope that because you have forwarded them the e-mail then they will honour the win.

    Good Luck, hope you get it sorted. :)

    Hi purpleshoes
    yes I still have the notification of win email and an email of my reply in my sent items folder. I have sent a reply to the email tonight and I have also forwarded the email in my sent items folder. I will wait to see if I get any reply tomorrow. It could have been worse as the other prizes have been phones, laptops, ipods and an ipad!!!!!
