Competitions Discussion Thread Part 2

weaver

I signed for the one last week - DHL

my neighbour signed for the one today - DHL

Ill try the form tomorrow, as I feel a little guilty, but if I cant get them theres not a lot I can do unless they contact me.

funny last week the DHL guy said hed dlivered 2 parcels to another women - a cleaner and she couldnt understand why shes had 2.

Wonder if with the floods they have re sent the prizes thinking they hadnt arrived ( maybe the records were damaged - wonder when DHL main distribution is based )

the above is a link to a Free Ebay listing worth £2.50 found on Freebie board - thought Id pop it here as I know some people sell the unwanted prizes on Ebay

Hope Im not out of order on mentioning it here - 5000 available so dont hang about - register and its sent when they have all been allocated

Dont forget to tick the no contact boxes.

Welcome to MSE and the comping forum - its a friendly forum and am sure you will enjoy it here

I woudl start at the end - ie page one hundred and something and work backwards doing the competitions that you want to enter or win. It will probasbly take you quite a long while to get to the beginning but once you are there it will be easier to catch up

Good advice, I would just add the following.

Learn how to sort the competitions by thread start time, otherwise things will keep changing and you will lose track of where you are. You do this by doing the following (this is atthe lower end of the page)

I recently won a family holdiay to Australia with Virgin Radio. Part of the conditions are that I do not enter any competitions run by Virgin Radio for 12 months to give other people a chance of winning - but think that is quite fair really.

Not sure what the rules are with other companies.

Anyone else been PMed (yes lots of you), I would advise not to click on the link - just in case!

Kentavr can look over the website if he / she / it needs moneysaving ideas.
