Hermes Delivery- Advice please

tipsychick86 · 1 August 2013 at 11:01AM

After the postie completely skipped my house this morning, I'd written today off as a no-win day, until half an hour ago when I received a message on the house phone from Hermes Europe informing me that my parcel would be delivered today. It was one of those text messages that the robotic BT lady reads out, so I couldn't make out who the sender was.

Anyways, the interesting thing is that I enter very few comps using the house phone, and only do so on the bigger prizes, where I enter both my partner and I on separate phone numbers. Having a quick look on the 'How you are informed of wins...' thread, I'm struggling to match up any of the 'just turn up' comps with those that I would have entered his details into.

Anybody ever received the Hermes delivery message in error? Or know of any comps that would just turn up, delivered by hermes?

Thanks in advance!

Never mind. Just found a way to get the message back after hanging up to try and make out who the sender is. My guess is Wyndsor's Shoes, which I've neither purchased from, nor entered a competition with. Looks like they must have sent the message to the wrong number.

For future reference, if anybody finds themselves in a similar situation, a BT text message can be retrieved by calling 0845 602 1111 within 24hours.

Still a no-win day for me then
