Do you bother with postal entries?

I've never done postal entries for comps where you usually have to pay was wondering if people here tend to bother with them and if you've had any luck?? Thanks xxx

I always use the postal ‘free’ entry if that is alternative to a £2 text. Only won a prize under £100 that way but live in hope.

I don't think I have ever sent a postal entry, but now would be a good time if people have stamps to use up and haven't/don't want to exchange them.

I do the TNS Royal Mail surveys which send out first-class stamps each month, and use those to enter some postal competitions.  The surveys finish this month though, and not prepared to spend money on buying them to send postcard entries.  

While I've been entering them never won a thing

The surveys are continuing with a different company and they said they'll still give 1st class stamps each month.

I used to enter a lot more, but just a few each week, newspaper crosswords mostly.

@LizB62 I have been asked to sign up to Spectos, the new company, but not sure whether I will continue.  The stamps do come in handy though.

I figure I'll see how it works out.
The initial comms from them look like it might be more complicated - if it ends up being too much of a faff, I'll drop out
And yes, the stamps are very handy !!

I have moved to Spectos from Kantar for stamps but since signing up and having some welcome stamps in Dec, not heard anything from them. I miss my monthly stamps for comps.

I used to enter by post many years ago and stopped due to the cost, however, I have some stamps which I want to use up since I don't write many letters and have searched my home and found quite a few booklets of Christmas stamps and some first and second.
