    Hi,dontone.The same happened to me a few years back.I had to pay about £3.
    I sent the promotor a piccy of the PO slip & the envelope via a polite email.In return they said I could choose another prize as compensation.The second prize was worth £35.

    Ta for the advice WO :T. You'd think that the company sending the item would check the cost before sending, but tbf RM keep messing about with the prices so it may just be a daft mistake. Never mind. Still annoying though :(
    I have a cold too so it's not helped my mood, and just now my mobile rung for the first time in a month, and it was the doctors, phoning to change an appointment, MEH!! One day, I will get a WTC :rotfl:

    He should be delivering your prizes, not comping himself wingo :D

    Oops! Got comping on the brain! :D
    I know there was a comp a few yrs ago dontone where people had to pay postage to receive their prize. I can't remember which comp it was. Very frustrating for all those waiting.
    Postie hasn't brought anything today, I don't think he likes Mondays!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

  • Hello. You know ILC introduced me to Photo Bucket not long ago... well, I have posted photos with no problem, but I now wanted to post a short video clip from my mobile, but when I paste it, it just comes up looking like a still. Is there a way I can paste this so it can be viewed as a video?

    Thanks!
