Competitions Discussion Thread Part 3

clareybear

Hi,

I enter a lot of postal comps and use loads of envelopes. I have started to use the ones that get sent through to me with bank statements, credit cards etc and put a stamp on them.

I wondered what the legal status was of using postage paid envelopes to send to someone other than the original company eg replacing barclaycards address with another address, but not putting another stamp on?

It's not legal, the returns licences are to one post code and one address.

Agreed. It's basically a form of fraud or theft.

Since you enter lots of competitions I'll move you across to our competitions board...

..have fun and good luck

Have you registed the iPod with Apple to activate the warranty? if not do so and just send it back to them, they will either fix it or send you another, so you don't have to bother the comp people again

have just come off the phone from apple support and they were very helpful. they are sending a courier within the next 3 working days to bring returns label and envleope to send the ipod back in. I then send it back and apple will be in touch

thankfully wont have to bother the comp folk again!

You should have moved it to the discussion thread;)

Help fellow compers,

Is there any way I can set/search the forum so that it lists threads by the date they were started (with the most recent at the top) rather than by the date/time of the most recent post. As the same comps keep being bumped up by "thanks, I want to win" type posts.

I've looked over the help stickys and techie board and can't find the answer, sorry if I'm being thick or have missed it somewhere. I figured that by posting it here it will attract the attention of someone who already does this.

I have found you cant use the search function to look for close by dates. You can us the sort function to sort by start date which is at the bottom of the page.

great service

my ipod was picked up by ups this morning, the guy waited while i put it in the envelope and he boxed it up etc. then hopefully it will be delivered back in working order - til i wreck it again!
