Hello everyone,
Could anyone on here tell me if they are still waiting more than a month later for their prizes to be sent to them, or still waiting to be contacted by the company? I am waiting for three items, one is for a baby show, where I won a pair of tickets. If it has been cancelled, which seems highly likely, due to Covid19, I thought at least they would inform me by email of that fact, but nothing. I wondered if others on here are in the same predicament? Thanks for reading, keep safe. Mel.

    I'm still waiting to hear from a company I've won a prize with. I received an email a month ago now from Vouchercloud saying I had won a hotel stay and the company would be in touch. Obviously the hotels shut at the moment but I do worry that this prize is not going to happen. 
  • Yes everything seems to be taking twice as long at the moment.  I think just be patient, the two ladies I have spoken to regarding competition wins seem very stressed, and I am more than happy to wait longer given the current situation.  After all, you can't use most of the prizes at the moment anyway like you said.

    I've been told by two prize providers that I won't get them until after lockdown, they are books though so completely different.

    I'm waiting for a company to send me 2xKodak Cameras, 2x Chocolate Hampers, 2 x Tables & 2x hair straighteners. Part of a Mothers Day bundle I won back in March. I received half but have been told all these are locked up in their offices. I really hope I still get these.

    I had an email yesterday to ask if I'd be happy to receive a digital copy of a book I won, then the actual copy when the warehouse went back.  Sadly I have no e-reader, but at least they let me know.
