Won a prize but company won't/reluctant to send it

I won a prize from a fairly big company in the week before Christmas. Prize is related to a hobby I have and is worth around £100. I was really happy to win and excitedly waited for the prize to turn up. The website I won through asked for my contact and delivery details and I had sent these promptly and received confirmation these had these.
I hadn't received anything by the end of January so contacted the company to check it hadn't been lost in the post...no answer. Left it a week and tried again and got an answer apologising that they had "lost my details" so I resent these. Agaij they confirmed they had them. Nothing had arrived mid February, so I messaged to check again it hadn't been lost in the post. No answer for a week and then they sent an email saying they were waiting for material to come in and would send when it did. My friend has ordered the same item from them recently and received in a week.
They just don't want to send it do they? Should I ask again or just give up and accept it isn't coming? My name was announced on their website so I definitely won!

@WillowKnicks

This happened to me with a Mumsnet prize, believe it or not! Grin

It was when The Duchess of Cambridge was pg with Prince George & Mumsnet ran a competition to guess the names of the royal baby.

I got the correct names (wrong order) & was contacted by Mumsnet for my address to send the prize (set of books). Unfortunately, I was on holiday at the time with no internet, so it was a couple of weeks before I replied but never heard anymore & never got the books.

Hi there WillowKnicks

Sorry to hear you never received your books! We're afraid this was quite a few years ago and so the folks in charge of the competition have now left, but please feel free to mail [email protected] and we can see what we can do Flowers
