    I've been lucky with wins I think as I've only ever had 2-3 things not turn up and after an email they've resent the item so it's been fine.

    That one comp with Brother's cider where their game broke I won a few things but 2 of them never turned up. I didn't chase those wins up because I'd already won 3 other small prizes from it and I was happy with that :)

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx

    The only thing I won that I didn't bother with was a Pringles speaker during Advent 2012, they were kind enough to give me a number to contact though so I cant blame the promoter, just me being lazy :)

    Maybe there should be a name and shame thread on here

    Something like if the prize hasn't arrived after two months -post.

    It'd be useful to know which comps to avoid -and might spur some into sending the prizes

    I won a tin of biscuits and sent a follow up message about it but the company (OK Magazine) never replied and i never did get my prize.

    Probably a good thing tbh lol.

    But, it was the principle - they happily announced that i was a winner on their fb page, but never sent out the prize.
