Any news about the Gameboys from the Koala Bros competition?

[BettySpaghetti]

...anyone received them yet?
I know they said they were out of stock but its been nearly 5 months

[OliviaMumsnet]

Apologies again all. I spoke to them on Friday explaining my disappointment and should have got back to you. They're "conducting an investigation". I'll chase again later this week.

[BettySpaghetti]

Thanks Olivia -its not your fault, I appreciate that.

[OliviaMumsnet]

Hello
I've had a message from the competition host: -
"We apologise that the winners have not yet received these and hope to receive the two missing prizes later this week to send out asap."
Here's hoping. Pls keep me posted on whether they arrive ; olivia at mumsnet dot com

[BettySpaghetti]

Well...still no prize.......

Thanks Olivia.

Postmans been and gone today, no parcel.Might come by courier though so still a chance it could come later.

I'll get our neighbour to keep her eyes open in case it arrives this weekend as we're away.

[BettySpaghetti]

Well they either told a porky and it didn't get sent out last week or they're using the slowest couriers on this planet as it still has not arrived.

No notes from postmen etc either , I check everytime I get in as I know that when it does arrive I won't be in, Sods Law and all that

[MrsApron]

Well....I received a parcel this am.

With a Koala Bros gameboy advance game in it. Not a gameboy. According to the original comp here It was actually a gameboy.

I feel like a total moaner but it is not what I was expecting. Oh na there was a note saying the corgi toy will arrive shortly.

[BettySpaghetti]

Same here Mrs Apron!

I thought it was my mistake and that I'd misread the original competition page but no, you're right, it did say Gameboy.

I emailed Olivia earlier and shes going to contact Spellbound and keep us up-dated -I think shes as frustrated by the delay and problems as we are.

[MrsApron]

Well Hi there!

I was confused but yep we are right.

Wait and see I suppose.

[BettySpaghetti]

Hooray!!

Gameboy arrived this morning. Thank-you so much MN, especially Olivia for all the chasing up you did.

Its perfect timing especially as DD has been a star this week despite being pretty much housebound due to potty training DS , shes really helped out, making his star chart and generally helping and encouraging him. A great thank-you present for her!

ditto Betty - thank you v v much.

[OliviaMumsnet]

Yes, hooray hooray hooray!
So pleased it's all sorted now.
