Hi, can anyone help please? ive won a comp on facebook but only just found out i have to collect. I cant see any terms or anything in the comp status saying this but as its miles away i cant. They said it will be £10 to send..... any suggestions

is there any t&c's on any of their other posts? or links to t&c's if not you can either pay the postage if its worth it, or ask them to redraw if its something small and not worth the postage.. HTH

can you find the link to the original comp post, perhaps someone has posted the T&C's on it?

to be honest if the prize is really good and worth paying ,I would pay the postage because if the terms said collection only , posting is going to be the cheaper way

Theres no terms or mention of anything about collecting. Its only worth £30 and they want to charge £10 postage

Gambling commission view is charging a normal delivery charge is ok.

In the Commission’s view, that does not mean that prize winners cannot be required to pay normal delivery or other normal costs needed to obtain or use the prize. For instance, the Act’s provisions do not, in the Commission’s view, prevent the organiser of a competition in which a camera is a prize requiring the winner to pay normal delivery costs which might be charged if that same camera was bought from a retailer. Nor, clearly, does it prevent the winner of a car being required to pay road tax. But there can be no additional payment over what it would normally cost to pay for delivery or use
