I won but can't collect :(

Options
Just had a WEM from this comp https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3153966 to say I've won a stainless steel gardening set but I have to pick up my prize from one of the Mole Valley branches which are all down South so emailed back asking if there's any chance of it being mailed to me but reckon I'll have to forfeit this one :(

Thanks to Lakshmi 7 anyway, though :)

    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    Congratulations, I can see that there is a Mole Valley branch near Bristol, would it not be possible for you to travel there and pick the prize up as £1000 of goods is a lot to lose.

    I skimmed through, looks like you'd receive £25 in vouchers every month for a year... pop onto the Green Fingers board and see if any MSE regs can use them/are willing to pay halves or something.

    I wish! It's not £1000 worth, it's just a runner up prize. I'd be on the train right now if it was the main prize :rotfl:

    It's not the main prize, just a runner up prize of a stainless steel garden hand tool set

    Ah. Not very exciting then.

    I try to stay away from Mole Valley ... I seem to always pick up a pasty to eat when I'm in there :(

    Maybe arrange for a cheap courrier company to collect if they won't deliver? Not sure how much it will cost though and if it would be worth it.

    Congrats on the win never-the-less! :j
    October Wins: £100 photobook voucher, sippy cup and booster seat.
