Anybody not received Competition prize

Hi

I just wondered if anybody has not received a prize they have been notified they have won. Maybe I'm not being patient enough but I was notified I won a comp with PC Advisor back in the middle of June but haven't heard anything since. Just curious if this is a regular thing, companies getting lists of email addresses but don't send prizes out, or if I'm just unlucky. (It's not a scam I have checked contact details).Prize was an Archos player so it would have been a nice prize, and my first win!!

    The comp site sends your details on to the people who are providing prizes, and it is them who can be a bit long winded.
    Email them, and ask them if they have any idea how long it will before you get your prize ~ Have you still got your winning notice email, use that.
    I am waiting for a couple of things, one is a signed poster, and the other a pair of trainers. The poster I have emailed, but the trainers was phone call, and have yet have not done anything about them, as the last pair took nearly 2 months to arrive.

    I am currently having FUN with a prize I won via a Facebook comp,have spent the past couple weeks sending and recieving emails from someone insisting my prize has been sent,I have become so frustrated and have just got off the phone with my local sorting office to clarify the parcel isnt there.The prize is a body scrub so not a big win but I still feel its the principal and I am very suspicious due to my competition mention being removed from the Facebook page for a start.Any advice from anyone would be of great benefit-am I entitled to name and shame the company?
