Update : Smile

I waited patiently and quietly all week, and today I gave them a call, they called me about about 20 minutes later and told me it was mailed out on Wednesday. The mail just came and there it was! Dancing

So all's well that ends well!
Giving you all a bracha that all your frustrating 'stories' end well too!

Well. Somebody in the store reads imamother! Good for you.

Lol!

On another similar note to OP,

I once won an Instagram giveaway and was sooo excited. It was supposed to be a 250 gift card to a popular store in my city...

When I tried to check out online it said the card was for $25 (not the 250).

I dm'd the influencer and she just responded with some of these emojies

πŸ˜³πŸ˜πŸ˜¬πŸ€”πŸ™

I unfollowed her.

She makes her money off her influencing and probably that's all that matters to her. Corrupt it is.

I know influencers who don’t even give any prize, they ask a friend to pretend they are the winners

I would honestly call her out on it publicly- like comment on the giveaway post and any future ones

I think it’s actually stealing. She gets monetary value from these giveaways and is not giving it as promised

That's why raffles in Israel always have an accounant firm or law firm involved to oversee the whole thing.


Someone who's lost out in the past could use this approach for the next year's event:

"Sure, I'd love to buy tickets to your event, but who does your auditing to make sure the prizes are as advertised?"

I never win anything, so I'd rather just give a donation anyhow lol

I also have heard my share of such stories.

I wonder if that's why chinese auctions haven't come back in a big way post covid.
