    I know that he did say to me that I could pick a prize when I saw one I would like but it would have to be one where it wasn't a one off prize so he could order an extra one.

    I don't know if perhaps they are sometimes trying to give lower value prizes instead?

    When he offered me a different prize from another comp, the first thing I said to him was no not if it means another winner wouldn't get a prize as that wouldn't be fair, but he said no I would get an extra copy, seems he might be just trying to find out who I am in contact with and probably won't see this so called prize of the dvds!

    So frustrating for you both. I had a similar issue with Totz2teens. After about six months and various emails (with me becoming more cross with each one) I got the prize with an added extra as compensation. I hope you get it sorted really soon.

    A little bit trickier fighting so hard with a charity, though. I've always said if I win with The Big Issue I would make sure I bought a copy that week.

    I won the same competition - I only got the books as well. When I emailed, I was told that that the dvd boxset had been delivered by Royal Mail and must have been lost. I thought i was the only one who had not received it.

    I was also told to let them know about any other competition prizes that I would like as replacement. But, seeing none of us have received, and have all been told the same thing - would have appreciated if they were honest about it.

    I'm the same Vid, if they had been honest it wouldn't be so frustrating.... I just don't understand why, it's hardly a difficult prize to get hold of so if they do have them then just send them out???

    New email from him (well 2) -

    ( 1 ) I just called round our other offices by chance to see if by chance your parcel had been returned and it has!

    Apologies, i have asked for the dvd to be posted to me and i will post it to you next week.

    If you could let me know who the other person is who didnt receive the dvd then i will get in touch with them to help.


    ( I replyed, again mentioned no names just said the other person would be in touch)

    [FONT=&quot]( 2 ) More people than I thought had not received the DVD!, at least they were eventually returned to us so I can try again now and post them out. I posted your copy via registered delivery today and I can track the parcel to your front door so there should be no problems this time.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Please do let me know when it arrives.[/FONT]

    Surely if they have been returned he knows who hasn't got so why does he need us to get in touch?

    Maybe it has been a genuine mistake and maybe they havn't put enough postage on the parcels or something? Seems very strange that they all were returned as undeliverable
