Disappointed in prize

Options
I won with Tesco beauty on twitter it was the Colgate prize, After chasing the prize up (Took over 1 month to arrive) i get a knock at the door and have to sign for a package. It turns out to be a cheap tube of Colgate toothpaste, They had spent £4.60 on sending a prize i could have got 2 for a pound! The post to me was misleading as it said prizes! Sent them a DM. Guess i got my hopes up for a tube of cheap toothpaste :rotfl:

Got to laugh.

    I also won, I missed a package yesterday and started work early this morning so I sent the hubby to collect it from the post office before his headed off for work himself... He was NOT happy I sent to him to sign for a tube of toothpaste! I thought he was having me on at first as to what it was, I have to say I was a little disappointed too.

    Did you DM them on twitter?

    It would have been better to send a coupon for the tube.

    I don't really know what to say, I don't want to sound ungrateful. Think I'll just take it on the chin this time! At least its one less thing I need to buty while doing the weekly shop tonight! :rotfl:

    Similar situation with me. I won with Arm and Hammer on Twitter. Received a signed for package which turned out to be a tube of toothpaste and a trial size one at that!!!

    Just had to laugh it off but I really don't see the point in them going to the expense of sending it!!!
