  • Yes they are, I collected an Urban Outfitters giftcard from them in their offices. I've also won a massage and sunglasses with them, all fine and arrived/redeemed :)

  • That reminds me it would be VERY helpful to have 'must collect from...' in the header.

    I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday. I was also going to ask on here if anyone has won a prize from them so thanks SherlockFan85 for posting that :)
  • The lady at the offices actually said to me that she thinks folks assume it's a con as they're giving away so many prizes! Technically I didn't actually "win" the giftcard, it was a gift for retweeting so many of their comps on my Twitter (as I have 1200+ followers) which was blooming nice of them :)

    I won a case of Ernie bars from them when they were Indigo Memoirs - definitely legit :)

    Wow! That's really nice of them to do that. I did feel it may have been a con because the amount of competitions that they have, but I'm glad to know it's not now! Although yesterday I was having trouble on the website as it wouldn't allow me to go to the 2nd or 3rd page etc. Does anyone else have this problem as I tried on both IE and Firefox?
  • I don't like it that they change the closing dates and rarely announce winners given how many comps there are. The same netaporter comp has been re offered for months. If they are picking people for prizes based on having lots of followers then that should be clear. Personally I think comps should be picked as randomly as possible or else clearly stipulate the means by which you are choosing and honor closing dates and have a winners list.

    I won a purse & some coconut oil when they were Indigo Memoirs and received both very quickly. Shame now nearly all their comps are collect from Hackney - little bit too far for me. I understand with big bulky things but giftcards? Wouldn't hurt to post out.

    I didn't know that ALL of the prizes had to be collected from their Head Office in Hackney, I just thought some of them were?
