I would likely have to surmise that this would indeed infur that only one entry by post was the limit…. Bulk entries are where separate entries are posted together to arrive as one batch — so postage is only paid once. Just wondering as I read the other day about entries not being entered and wondered whether more stringent methods had been adopted since then thanks…. Hi Di, It says that postal entries are not available for Windsday Draws. That includes the prize draws you listed above. Winsday is a confusing part of the ITV wins page!
All prize draws listed above can be entered by post! So there is hope that postal entries work…!! When using postcodes , I make sure that I cross out any postcodes, other than mine or the one you are sending to.
I would argue that a little sticker with your name and address typed on it is more an indication of a comper than writing sideways! I really meant that the machine at the sorting office picks the postcode that is lowest on the card, for delivery — my Postie told me that, years back.
Of course, things change and technology is updated. Annoyingly though, every so often, I will get a boomerang postcard. Only yesterday, I received two home made cards, returned to me. I toddled off to my local sorting office and politely asked if they could put them through again, which the helpful guy on the desk agreed to do. I have a suspicion that many of the postal entries for the raffle-type websites never make it into the draws though, those are the ones I would be more concerned about!
This is a brilliant article Di, thank you. My prizes often go to the school or football club raffle and my neighbours, family and friends! And thanks for taking part in FoodbankAdvent! I have noticed when I enter free competitions expecially spin to win I get lots of spam messages and phishing phone calls.
All it takes is entering one dodgy prize draw, and your contact information sold on to a company, and unfortunately that can lead to hundreds of people getting your details!
I tend to block any callers like that straight away. Hi Su. The chance of winning a prize albeit a much smaller prize! Thanks Di really useful, obviously the more times you enter the more likely you are to win but how many times roughly do you enter the same competition by sending a postcard? Just once or more? I think most people only send one per competition, otherwise it could end up getting quite expensive. As far as I know though, you can send as many as you like!
Yes, absolutely! The front of greetings cards, bits of cardboard or the back of product packaging are all fine to use and might even get you Brownie points with some promoters for recycling! I would try and keep them to around A6 — regular postcard sixe — though! It came just after I started applying online instead of by phone text and at the time I wondered if this was co-incidence.
I wonder what the incidence of BIG prize winners is online as opposed to phone entries?? Hi Di — I write well type all mine on one A4 piece of paper, then fold it in half so as the address fits in the window of the envelope — is this Ok? ITV said it has put in place plans to improve its postal entry procedures and it intended to donate a sum of money to charity as a "mark of its sincere regret". An Ofcom spokeswoman said: "Our investigation found that people who entered these competitions by post were excluded from the draw, with no chance of winning.
The broadcaster said the problem was a result of "human error by ITV staff" putting information on to a spreadsheet. Competitions on ITV usually invite viewers to enter by phone, text message, the channel's website or by post. Please pay particular attention to the closing dates of the competitions, which you'll find in the 'At A Glance' box at the top of each page. This will tell you whether the draw is still open, especially important to think about for postal entry options, as these will take a day or two to be delivered, and we don't want you to waste the cost of a stamp when there's no chance of winning!
For each competition, there are a set of terms and conditions that govern how the draw win run. It's not a particularly exciting read, but it does include details of when the winning entry will be drawn so that the winner can be contacted.
Typically, winners are drawn within a week of the final entry method closing, which is almost always postal entry. You'll find the postal address and postal closing date in the 'At A Glance' section on the page for each show.
