Competitions Discussion Thread Part 2

Do it because you enjoy it, then it dosn't matter so much if you get a lean spell and the prizes are a bonus - but a lovely one.

Yesterday the postman came with

a pair of £100 shoes
a packet of plant food
a Goody bag of high tech desk accessories
four newly published paperbacks

Who but a comper can get post that good?

The "no correspondence" term doesn't apply to winners who don't get their prizes - they'd never be allowed to get away with that!

Allow 28 days for your prize to arrive (a bit more at the moment with the postal strikes) then contact the person who first emailed you and ask politely if there is a problem with delivery.

If they don't reply, look on the original website for contact details and contact them, again being as polite as you can.

If you get no response from them, try your local Trading Standards office, or the Advertising Standards suthority www.asa.org who have an online complaints form, or the Institute of Sales Promotions [EMAIL="complaints@isp.org.uk"]complaints@isp.org.uk[/EMAIL]

I agree with everthing that's been said, its addictive, its fun, it great coming home and looking to see what may have been delivered, its a nice feeling seeing what other people have won and its a great friendly forum, I love the banter that goes on and find myself lauging out loud sometimes, get a life....what's that?? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Happy comping and hope your first win comes soon.

Some people have more luck than others obviously. I only had to wait 6 weeks for my first win which came out of the blue, then they came dripping along Now I get loads of stuff

Well, bye for a few days peeps. Off on my freebie hol to Europa-Park. Really nervous, haven't been abroad in over 10 years and it all just feels too good to be true. Not used to winning biggies I guess :shocked: See you Thursday. Wishing you all lots of wins while I'm away!
