when do you get WEMs?

A bit of a trivial question from a comping newbie, but do WEMs tend to come Monday to Friday during working hours, or do they ever get sent in the evenings/weekends?

    Hi, I've not long started so dont really know, but I did get one at 3am, was up with baby when it arrived! Lol

    I'm gueesing most would be in working hours, but I suppose it depends who the comp is by? The other few I've had have been weekdays.

    Cant wait to start winning some more and find out!

  • Thanks both!
    So I can continue to have a (teeny tiny) little bit of excitement every time I check my email, just in case, even if it's not during the working day :)
    Excellent!

    I had one at 6:43am. Obviously on someone's commute to work! Came as bit of a shock really!

    But mostly, Monday-Friday.

    Weekends are usually Goodreads or Blogger comps. Other than instant wins I don't think I've had an email on the weekend from a 'company' :) x

    Think I've only ever had one on a weekend and that was from a blog.

    None of the main companies are probably working much outside the main 9-5 ish type hours - so therefore I find weekends a bit disappointing as there's always that bit of hope in checking the emails once it goes past 9am on a Monday!

    Although they can come at weekends its not usual. Mostly they come Mon to Fri during working hours. Not impossible for a Sat/Sun but not very often.
    August-September 2017: Lots of stuff :)

  • I've had one on a Sunday - it was from Beauty Bible.
