Competition wins that never arrive

General moan so apologies but I won a fabulous prize and it has never arrived. Some lovely perfumes that were apparently delivered before Xmas. Now having to find out where it went if I ever will. Frustrating to know of a win and never receive. Had this happen previously with another prize win but thought it was such a small prize was not too bothered. Anyone else share the frustration 😁

  • Not quite the same but I won £200 worth  of whisky which was delivered when I was out and stolen by someone else in my apartment block :( 
    Newbie as of 31st December 2015 - here's to beginners luck!:DBest wins so far, won £1000 on two occasions:)
  • Trouble is with these, if you've never paid to enter and entry was free, they don't have much obligation to send through prompt delivery.

    I've never been fortunate enough to win any competitions I've entered.

    If they use Evri it could still be in the system - they have severe  backlogs and apparently concentrate on delivering the most recent stuff
