    I usually leave it about 8 weeks before I enquire :D. This seems a long time to wait but I emailed someone today about a comp win from July. They replied to say the person dealing with it had left and that the new person hadn't got round to it yet!!

    But normally it's anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

    Which reminds me, the playtents from the August cheese comp should be arriving any time soon.

    I always wait 28 days before emailing. This has always worked for me and I usually get an apology and the prize delivered within a day or two.
