  • Hiya Create Beauty,

    Just thought I would check ( although I am expecting it will be no unfortunately ) whether it turned up yesterday like they said it would?

  • Hiya Create Beauty,

    That is very kind of you to check. Unfortunately I did not receive the iPad yesterday. I did, however, receive this e-mail from hello(at)missgym.com (didn't want a live link):

    Hi Caroline

    Hope you are well
    I have had your ipad delivery confirmation through
    It actually came through a few days back but i will explain why i havent been able to action it till today

    I have the delivery as 21st for you
    Its on a before 10am delivery slot so you dont have to wait in all day
    Sorry i couldnt get it for today

    So you are aware why we have had delays and why i have had to park missgym for a while
    i was diagnosed with testicular cancer and have been under treatment for this
    so along with a house move we've had a bit of a stressful time to say the least
    hence the reason whilst we both have had to stop working for a bit

    sorry youve had delays getting your prize
    but im sure you'll get a lot of joy out of it

    Your ipad is all paid for now and delivery confirmed

    Please do drop me an email once in your hands
    if i am slow replying do bear with me as i have a whole host of emails to reply to and also a couple more days at the hospital over the coming days
    thank you
    Best wishes to you and your family
    Chris

    If I receive nothing on the 21st, I guess I will just have to e-mail the ASA and request them to look into it again now that I have an e-mail address for correspondence.
    :(
  • Hiya,

    What I would personally do in this situation is email back being understanding but asking for the delivery company and tracking number, that way you will know that something is being sent to you

    He has put that he has arranged the delivery for the 21st and it will be before 10am so he will either have a conformation of delivery booking or tracking number for it

    Best of luck with it, hopefully it will come this time!

  • i agree with tranmere-just seems odd that they said they were sending it like they had it perviously but have now only just said theyve recived it
    What goes around-comes around
  • Thanks for the replies.

    I have just sent a short reply sympathizing with his situation but also politely requesting the tracking number and delivery company. I'm not very hopeful.

    Thank you very much to those who have offered their advice. It is appreciated so very much.
  • any news-have they replied with the tracking number?
    What goes around-comes around
  • Nope, I have not had a reply. Not really surprised! Guess we'll see what happens on Wednesday... :-/
