Unexpected Wins / Deliveries

Idol_Eyes

Morning everyone

I'm recently back into comping after 5 or 6 years away!  I just wondered if people still get unexpected wins in the post?  I remember my first ever win was an X Box and it just turned up, no prior WEM or WTC and no notification either with the prize as to where it had come from!  Back then I did get a few prizes that I didn't get any prior notification and just wondered if that was still happening, I used to find it so exciting!

I had a TV just turn up once. Never did find out where it came from.

I used to get sample bottles of perfume 'just turn up', but I'm not sure if that was just that I'd forgotten I'd applied for them.

Ah, the good old days! I've had a few mag daily prizes that have just arrived without prior notification, and once a hamper of baby food that had a £250 Asda voucher tucked in the bottom! 

LemonSocks

I know I've had a couple, but the only one I can remember was one of those subscription type boxes for cats. Luckily I do have cats so everyone was happy!

Unrelated, but I did have a Chinese takeaway turn up a month ago with no receipt, phone number or menu in it. I'm pretty sure I didn't enter a competition for that.

Just this week I received a 2 Meal PetSafe Automatic pet feeder worth £20.99 in the post and it was sent via UPS - I think I traced it back to a UK Mums TV Competition, but it didn't come with anything to say who or where it came from.

Last month I also received a package which included: a Weleda Canvas Bag (£4.95) Hydrating Eye Gel (£14.95) 24hr Hydrating Facial Lotion (£14.95) 24hr Hydrating Facial Cream (£14.95) Hydrating Facial Mist (£16.95) and Catalog. Total: £66.75
No warning of it coming, absolutely lovely surprise.

I haven't had that for a while (because I stopped comping seriously for a few years), but I def had some in the past. I remember getting a £50 Hobbycraft voucher from one of the puzzle mags once, with no prior notification. It just arrived. That was a nice surprise

I've had a few, I love an unexpected win! 
Last one was Harry Potter & Disney Lex Go Games. I assume from a MD as they already have your address.
But also had some Wool show up from Gathered, A Sanitiser bundle from Natural Health Mag, Cat Litter Hamper which I think was from YourCat and a Cricut Craft Bundle from a craft magazine, I traced that back to a comp that was months old! 
These are all from the last year.

That's hilarious, I'm intrigued to know what it was and whether you ate it LOL

Not so many now...............

Odd DVD or Blu-ray might turn-up with no prior warning. Little pet food win turned-up the other day unannounced.

In the past £200 vouchers turned-up before the LWE LOL 

Arla (dairy co.) used to send out prizes randomly.

Once received some stationery beautifully wrapped in brown paper. A wicker hamper was a mystery too.
