PO BOX address for competitions

nelie

Does anyone think it's worthwhile having a PO box address for competitions and junk mail. I've thought about it in the past but I'm not too sure if competitions allow them. I remember years ago watching blue-peter say they wouldn't let anyone win with a PO BOX?

Just wanted other people's thoughts.

How would you sign for win if it's a PO Box or receive a large prize from a courier?

I know there are PO BOX's that are inside delivery offices - I was thinking those, as you can sign for your parcel when you go to collect them all

Cannot imagine a delivery office (I assume a royal mail one) would accept say a double door americian style fridge freezer, a 50" plasma tv etc (and there's still getting them home).

Never mind that Have you looked at the prices:eek:

if you collect
6 months £138.60
1 year £244.20

if it is delivered

6 months £165.00
1 year £303.60

Ugh... That's way more than when I last looked.

I see your point - I forgot the larger prizes

Thanks xx

And even moderate sized prizes often arrive in big boxes...
