I've only had a few things turn up unannounced, 'biggest' being a Game of Thrones boxset.0

A cheque for £200 from take a break and I once received £100 and a note saying congratulations on the win but no company name so I still no idea where it came from0

Well I knew I had won an iPod Nano but the comp or the WEM didn't state the winner also won a hamper of cereal too, so that was a nice surprise when that turned up unexpectedly!0

two weeks ago, A Loxley England Windermere Wallet in Navy (£135) and a Loxley England mini Devonshire tote in colour block(£425) just showed up. Turned out it was from Harpers Bazzar. Only started comping towards the end of Christmas so it was a huge surprise to win something so expensive (and pretty!) so quickly2018 wins-12wins0

I had a courier turn up and hand me a box which contained a youview box, and he said "the TV is in the van" and went off and came back with the biggest box containing a massive 3D TV! Now that would take some beating for me! It was amazing, the sort of comping daydream that keeps me plodding along ;-)Many thanks to everyone who posts competitions and works so hard to provide all the answers!
Best wins this year so far: £100 Hobbycraft Voucher, £50 cash, GoPro Camera0 -
A 55inch HD 3D smart TV. Home theatre surround system and blueray box. No prior notification or covering letter just a delivery note which had a clue to its origin on so I was able to trace the competition.
Big van just arrived outside and a bloke lifted it off on a pallet with a fork lift.0 -
