Wrong name on parcel (poss pepsi/walkers/doritos win?)

Has anyone received a prize from the Pepsi/Walkers/Doritos Perfect Match competition in the last couple of days. The main prizes were TVs but it had other prizes of a Crisp bowl & Pepsi glasses, or vouchers for pepsi/crisps etc.


I won a Walkers bowl plus Pepsi glasses 3-4 weeks ago but have not received it yet (email said to allow 60 days for delivery).
However, RM postie tried to deliver a parcel to us today which had the right address but wrong persons name (unknown to us) so OH handed it back to the postman.

I'm now wondering whether it was the Pepsi prize so would like to know if anyone else has received one recently ?
...and I'm hoping that it wasn't a better prize that we've just turned away!

Thanks.

    My Pepsi glasses and sharing bowl arrived yesterday but with an Indian person's name on the packet! The glasses are really nice.

    Thanks aspella - I didn't notice Sheil's comment.
    Looks like they mismatched the names and addresses when sending the parcels and I guess we have lost our prize now.
    At least it wasn't a bigger prize !

    Yes our postman knocked as it was an Indian name on the parcel and waited while I opened it to see if it was mine.
    Hope you can retrieve yours.

    Thanks sheils - I've just tried replying to the original winners email describing what happened so hopefully they will send another one.
    Haven't had many wins recently so its a shame to send one back !
