E: 30/09 5000 Play tents to be won (draws every 2 weeks)

  • Please help me!!!!! Having received an email last week saying that I should destroy my tent (which I had not yet received) I then got a letter saying that they had stopped the killer tents in transit and would be sending new ones.

    Today I received a tent in the post (it is red with a cow and a rabbit on). Does anyone know how I'm supposed to tell if its a lovely-happy-playtent on an evil tent of death (short of throwing my niece in it and seeing if she survives)?

    I have emailed the company who helpfully sent an automatic response saying it would take them a week to reply. I will post here if and when I hear back - provided the killer tent has not claimed my soul by then.

  • I read on facebook that the new tents haven't been sent out yet, perhaps post on there you might get a quicker answer?

    I also received the letter and my tent came today, I emailed them to say thank you and had an automated reply, then later had a reply to say it is from the faulty batch and not to use it and they will send a replacement.

  • Thanks guys. Judging by your experiences, I think I'm gonna bin my tent too...or give it to a child I dislike;).

    You're right about the bag though, how did they ever get the tent in there in the first place?!? It defies physics I tell you.
