Yep - completely agree with Ginjim. Sounds like a scam to me!
My wins have always come in the form of a letter or email.

Good luck comping & welcome to the forum! :beer:

Hiya all,

I received my wicker picnic hamper prize today and it was absolutely lovely.

Thing is, the courier bought two of them - each labelled box 1 of 1 - addressed to me - but with different order numbers and different courier consignment numbers.

I signed the courier's electronic thing-a-me-wotsit just the once, so don't know whether I was signing for just one box or both at the same time.

Do you think I should keep quiet and enjoy double the prize? I'm just a bit worried that they might try to charge me for the extra one when they find out that I've kept it.

Has anybody any advice???

Both addressed to you? Keep 'em! If you are worried, you could leave one untouched for 14 days or something, but it does sound like you have no worries.

I got a case with my Apple Macbook win in Jan which was worth £485 - the original Samsonite bag the comp specified was worth a lot less.

You think I told 'em?? :rotfl:

There have been a few double deliveries in the I Won! section, as well, and I don't often get the time to go there, so I wouldn't worry too much. Well done!! :beer:

personally I'd tell them cos id feel guilty otherwise. and chances are they might say you can keep it anyway
