I won but still waiting for prize

Options
Hi,
Am I being too impatient?
Had email 18 May;
"Congratulations your details were selected at random from over 12,000 entrants and as such, I'm delighted to confirm you are one of the lucky winners of the following Parfumes Christian Dior products...

Capture R60/80 Eye - 15ml £34.00
" " " " Serum Pump- 30ml £43.00
" " " " Light Creme - 30ml £36.00

Please confirm your details" - I emailed back to confirm.

Heard nothing back, so on 8 June emailed again. Waited a few days, still no reply, so rang the promo. co. that sent email - Skywire Ltd.
The girl apologised and said she would email Dior. She did say that Dior would send prize direct from Paris.

Still waiting - 6 weeks now.
If you were me, what would you do? Email or phone again?
Or just try to be more patient??!!!!!

    I won the stylefinder.com comp in may and it's not come. I emailed and she said it should have come by now and she'd chase it up. a week later i emailed her again and she hasn't replied! When i won cinema tickets they came a week later. It just depends on the company i guess. Keep chasing them - at the end of the day, it's yours, and they'll get that sick of you mihrng them they'll send it! Well, that's my philosophy anyways!!

    I think a general rule should be that the prizes are made available and ready in hand before creating a competition, therefore we wouldn't have to wait so long!

    I had to wait 6 weeks for my PS3 when they said it would be four - kept phoning and hassling and got it in the end :) Good luck
