Prize hasn't turned up yet

Hi just wanted some advice i was e mailed on the 20th of september saying i have won a 25 pounds i tunes voucher in the chew to win competition run by chewits. I haven't recieved my prize yet i emailed the sender of the email a few days back asking if it had been dispatched but no response and also e mailed chewits and no response. Am i been impatient do i just need to wait? The last online comp i won the prize arrived within days of receiving the email. What are your experiences?

    I would have thought you would have got it by now. If you've had no response from the person who emailed you, That's a pretty poor show. I recently got a prize that I won back inAugust, so they probably haven't forgotten about you, they just need a hefty nudge in the right direction.

    Send them a slightly stronger email than the last one you sent and see if that has any effect.

    Thanks for the advice i think i'll try another e-mail tommorrow i think its just plain rude for them not to reply to e-mail. I don't know whether its been sent and got lost or not been sent at all. I wonder if anyone else on here won anything in the same competition and recieved there's.

  • I have had this same problem with UKTV style after a competition i won back at the start of october. They were ignoring my emails for ages, until i sent quite a strong one saying how poor of them it was not even to acknowledge me or give a token effort of chasing it up for me.

    I got a phonecall message last friday saying I would have my prize within two weeks. So my advice is, keep on their back!
    never knowingly underwhelmed.
