What's the longest you've had to wait for a prize

Just received a prize yesterday from an advent competition win in December!

Comments

  • I "won" and OC goodie bag back in 2004 which never arrived from MyKindaPlace, I don't think they are even running anymore ! Have also given up on Itchy after winning a comp last February for Peep Show series 7. Currently waiting for a win back in April but there are apparently supplier issues!
    Wins 2012: £50 Love2Shop voucher, Lets Dance tickets, Juan Zelades CD, bluetooth speaker, Blackberry 9360 with £30 credit a month, Chocolate, Maybelline Goodie Bag, Hunter wellies!

    I am still waiting on my Rizzla advent win
    other than that 93 days is the longest wait but it was worth it:j
    and the shortest was one day as in notified on the Tuesday and it turned up Wednesday. which is pretty darn good:)
    63 mortgage payments to go.

    Like Fiona T - Advent prize - but mine still has not arrived.
    Wilkinsons prize - Pet hamper worth £200 NEVER ARRIVED despite me chasing it up -Don't think I will ever get it - maybe because I am in Northern Ireland.
    Another company from same Advent win only sent part of the prize.:(

    About 8 years ago I won £50 via Samsung Mobile Phone Advent Calendar competition.
    It took a fair few months to come through despite me chasing.
    I think it was just one p/t person processing the winners.


    I am still waiting a month on for the Tesco Charades Clubcard 1000 points (£10 unless I can double up etc.)
