What actually takes so long for the companies to get the prizes to people?  I won an IW on August 2 from Quick and Simple and got an e-mail from them saying if I hadn't received the prize within 10-12 weeks to contact with them.  Well, after more than 13 weeks I e-mailed them and didn't get a response so I called them.  It went directly to a voicemail so I left a message.  I finally got an e-mail 2 days later from them saying they had the prize in their warehouse and wanted me to verify my shipping addy again.  I did and haven't heard from them again.  Do you think that some of these companies are just waiting for people to ask about their prizes before they send them hoping they'll forget about them so they can keep them themselves?  I just don't understand what would take so long to send a prize to someone after everything's verified.

I'm still waiting on a couple of prizes from Quick and Simple one going back to July 10. Wow didn't realize that it had been so long. Just send them a email using their form as it was for a case of Sani-hands.   I did notice on their site that they will no longer be listing winners after Oct. 6. I guess that means they don't want people asking where their prizes are!!
  I'm sure if we knew what really goes on at most of these places we would wonder how we get our prizes at all. LOL Luckily I am patient.

"warehouse" probably translates as "its somewhere here in the closet" (sound of things being tossed around)"Bob! What happened to the case of Sani-Hands?" "Uh, we used it all in the lunchroom last month, why?"

Hopefully they send Bob to get a new box sunny

Finally got it today!  YEAH!!!  sunny It was the Emeril deep fryer and Baguette & bread maker.  I've really been wanting to make some eggrolls & this is such a cool fryer!  It wouldn't have been such a big deal if I hadn't *really* been looking forward to getting this.  I've had such dry streaks lately that I was just so anxious to get this in!

I peeled off the label on the box & it said they received it at their office back in July.  So... still makes me wonder why it takes 15 weeks to send it to a person.  scratch

I've gotten all three of my prizes from them, but it took along time to get two of them.

And once again the "whining hypothesis" is proven!  Enjoy your prize.
