It wasnt a comp, it was more of a raffle:

Due to unprecedented demand we have moved this promotion online to make it easier for everyone to take part.
We apologise to everyone who was unable to swap their electric toothbrush at London Waterloo and Victoria stations.
We have made this promotion even bigger and will swap 7,000 electric toothbrushes. Registration opens 12 noon Wednesday 10th and ends midnight Saturday 20th July to UK residents (excluding N Ireland). Registrations will be selected randomly and advised by email on 24th July 2013.
Here are the steps to take part:

1. Complete the on-line registration form on this page
2. Successful registrations will receive an email on 24th July with instructions on the option to swap your old electric brush in the mail using a freepost address.
3. Once we receive your old electric brush in the mail, you can expect to receive your brand new Colgate® ProClinical® A1500 within 28 days

I (like most of the others) hadn't realised that this event was sponsored by MSE.

I got mine at 11.29. :j Not got my toothbrush on me and not going to send it either. Hubby can have that one and bin his scraggy old one.

If anyone is interested you can get it or any of the Colgate range for half price until the 10th August. Its a good price and got mostly good reviews.

Check out the Colgate website.

Didn't get an email..

Oh well will have to go out and replace me slowly dying Oral B when they go half price at boots!

Well no sign of an e-mail, so I have just checked the junk mail folder, and guess what ........ no e-mail from Colgate :mad:

cjno - I will give you £5 for your Colgate one, so you will have the magazine and the toothbrush that you ordered for nothing

I got my email today :j

DD received an email for a toothbrush at 11.25 this morning. Sadly I did not, so she is the lucky one this time!

Got mine at 10:23, but didn't see it until 16:00.
Sent it before post collection at 17:30.

Funny address, no PO Box number, no FREEPOST, just some code in the first line.

28 days. Bound to turn up when I go on holiday.

Why do they bother sending an e-mail?

If they have the address, just send it, since sending in the old tooth brush is not mandatory anyway. If they really are that masochistic, include a FREEPOST address label for those strange people who insist on sending the old toothbrush.

Maybe they hoped some people will have lost the will to live, so not all the 7,000 tooth brushes will be claimed?
