@toxicgherkin has...dramas!!

Oh.....the patience of the long-running marathon comper!

Thankfully *touch wood* I've not had any MAJOR dramas. I have had stuff not turn up or the date I was promised it would arrive has been and gone, but again, thankfully, I've chased up the promoter, and said prizes have turned up pretty quickly after that. Usually the bigger the company, the more they DON'T want bad publicity. I have heard some horror stories though, which I hope never happen to me. I would hound them until the cows (or prizes) come home

@Trevsta, true 'dat!

Recently I won something through a FB comp and as requested I PM'd my details. They replied that the prize would be sent in a few days. About 2 weeks later I messaged to see if there had been a delay because I hadn't received it yet but they have not replied. That was a week ago and still nothing. I think I'll let this one go because I'm not that fussed on the prize but I won't bother with them again.

ss to hear that ... nothing worse than getting excited that you've won a prize and then have something like this happen, I hope you eventually get your prize, sooner rather than later.

I would keep at them Jrob. That's not good enough, and technically, ILLEGAL. If they don't want to give things away, they shouldn't offer. I'm sure they got many many new 'likes' due to the competition, so it's the least they can do to pay up

I got asked for my details for a Jason Statham competition, which I assumed meant I'd won, since details weren't required as part of the entry, but heard nothing back. Emailing them produced no response either. I rarely chase wins up, and just put missing wins down to karma, expecting an even bigger win next time!
