Can I ask, has anyone won a set of the skullcandy headphones on the mpora daily comp site and received them? - I won a pair at beginning of November but nothing has arrived, not sure how long to wait.
Thanks

You could always send them an email and say you are not sure if you had to send details to get your prize you won at the end of November, even if you know they have got them.
That's what I do, and you usually get a good response ~ Start with a "sorry, to bother you but, grovelling always helps ~ b annoying, but it works, so who cares.
People feel good if they are helping, works in most situations ~ like taking stuff back, etc. If it doesn't, then you bring in the fact you know your rights.

Hi, I've never posted on this board before, so I hope this isn't too silly a question. I think comping looks like a lot of fun, but so many competitions seem to have "the winner may be required to take part in publicity" as part of the t&cs. Does this actually happen much? Fair enough that they have to publish the name and location of winners, to show that they actually dole out the prizes, but if I were lucky enough to win something I wouldn't fancy having to have my picture taken with Jim Davidson while he hands me an Oli prize, for example, lol!

I've never won anything big enough that's required publicity - my biggest win is a luxury stay in Brighton and no publicity req I don't think. The only publicity I've heard of on here is for massive prizes e.g. a car.

It is a really great stapler, I could even use it with my fractured elbow arm, if you know what I mean. Really gentle motion from the user but it staples out really hard with a satisfying *thunk*

Oh, ok, thanks! And congratulations on the Brighton win - wow! (Would have pressed the thanks button for you too, but it isn't working for me for some reason).
