    Looking at the Ts&Cs it seems you have to collect if you are the winner so you may want to make sure there is a branch near you!

    6. The winners will be notified how they can collect their prize. In the event of non-acceptance within the specified period, or if the person is not contactable, Skipton reserves the right to reallocate the prize awarded to the next randomly drawn valid entry.

    Well my thoughts are that whoever compiled those terms have not really thought it out properly.

    Surely with hampers the best way to have them delivered would be directly to the six winners' addresses.

    What would be the point in having them delivered to the six different branches involved? For example would those branches ensure that the products are kept refrigerated?

    Also I'm trying to imagine collecting my hamper ( wishful thinking) from my local branch. It is in the city centre in the middle of the pedestrianised area. Could be a long struggle getting it back to the multi-story car park.

    Think again Skipton!

    It may, of course, be collection from John Lewis???

    Or Head Office in Skipton?

    I'm fairly near Skipton itself so head office possible for me - parking is always a nightmare outside any branch!!!
