I entered this comp a month ago & from Royal Mail the address doesn’t exist. Anyone else get these back?

Does this mean my itv entries don’t get entered?

I have never entered with this company before. Although according to their postal entry conditions you have not entered correctly by post.

based on this it looks like your entries were returned to you because you didn’t enter via a postcard, although not sure why you would want to enter via post when the competitions are free to enter anyway using your social media accounts, https://www.prize-draw.com/draws/

I would have used a postcard, not an envelope, I was thinking that maybe because you sent an envelope with the address on one side and details on the other they might not have included your entries in to the competitions you entered for.

However, as indicated by danny and mjm above maybe at some stage between you sending off your entries the company ceased operations, if you check their facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/prizedrawukcompetitions, the most recent post was in March. I wonder what would happen if you called their telephone number?
