Competition Prizes

Don't want to fall out with anyone but wondering who to contact regarding the Vuelta Pais Vasco overall prize. Do the prizes just take a while to be sent out? Have used the game contact email address and tweeted Dave, but still no answer.

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Exactly!

I don't see why, at the end of a competition, the winners details are not sent straight to Wiggle, who then treat it like any other order. That get's dispatched straight away, and the winner's receive their prizes within a couple of days! Easy!??

It is a joke! The excitement of actually being able to win some prizes from a well respected brand are one of the driving forces behind trying to win a comp or a stage.

And to have all of the members who have or have not paid entry money, to still be waiting months after they legitimately won a prize is taking the piss!

I'm only waiting for a pair of Glasses, but imagine if you are like PolishDave who has managed to win a grand tour, and is expecting a brand new Bike. Only to be still waiting 3 months later!

What is going on??????

I believe Wiggle send them out rather than sending to Dave. They are probably not automated like customer orders...  39

They were sent to me direct from Wiggle.
Fingers crossed that everyone waiting for their prizes will be getting them very soon!!

a carbon mini pump, i think

spoke to wiggle today and they told me that everything up to the tour de france has now been sent out, and that they're working through that and subsequent races. so if,in a week's time, you still don't have your prize from the giro/dauphine/whatever, say so on this thread

My pump from winning the purist Tour de Suisse arrived today (though Royal Mail failed to leave a card to say left with neighbour  14 and noticed that Wiggle didn't include the normal Haribo extra  2 ). Thanks for your chasing Dave.

Anyone know if there are any prizes for the Autumn Classics ? I managed to finish 2nd overall  1

Also, how do I claim my prize for the World Championships ? I'm sure when I've won a prize in the past a 'claim prize option' has appeared on my page a few days after the finish of that race.

I see they have just revealed the Giro 2015 route. That reminds me, I still haven't received the promised prize for winning a stage in the 2014 version.
Any news or should I just give it up?

I find the silence on this to be remarkable to be honest. Somebody has our prizes if Wiggle sent them?

I'm third in the Tour of Britain game at the moment but is the bike going to go missing too if I win?

Tens of thousands in entry cash have been paid to the folks running the game. This is no way to treat paying customers.

there's no silence: i am chasing them, and i keep saying so. but i can't send them.

I don't know how true that is, even though they told you, but im guessing Dave hasn't had the prizes off wiggle if that is the case, or else he would know if he had sent them...
