Anyone receive their prizes?

[Aj Collins]

I got a letter a month ago saying I won forth prize. It said I should receive my games shortly. Anyone receive their prizes yet?

[GPW]

Haven't recieved a thing. Marden-Kane sure is taking their time in getting these prizes distributed.

[Boifido]

Haha i got second prize i think or maby it was first.

[Nightz]

i got a second letter from marden kane about 2 weeks ago, and they said it was going to be another 6-8 weeks before my prizes will come. here's the link to my post with a copy of that letter in the prizes thread:

Received nothing yet, won 4th prize, 3 games I believe. Said 6-8 weeks that was from a letter dated early Feb.

Any day now???? :|

Any day now???? :|

well from the date of last letter i received, it's been 5 weeks and 1 day. so hopefully the prizes will be coming within the next week or two, if they stick to the 6-8 weeks that they mentioned.

be kinda ironic if the amount of time we wait to get our prizes is more then the length of the actual contest.

i think it already is ;)

Well over 8 weeks for me.

[GPW]

it's been over 10 weeks now for me. So frustrating.

2nd place- still no prize (California, U.S.). But after having found this discussion, I'm happy to know I'm not the only one! (I was starting to think the prize may have been lost in the main).

Anyone heard anything lately? I sent [email protected] an email last Wednesday and resent it again today because she hasn't replied. Tomorrow will be 9 weeks since the date on the letter for me.

i've given up all hope on receiving a reply to my e-mail to erica :crazy:

[plaguebeast]

I emailed her a couple of weeks ago and again late last week, called her yesterday, left a voice mail. No response to any......I wonder if there is anyway we can get ANY kind of feedback from Marden-Kane, this is getting silly.

Erica responded to my email finally, 6-8 weeks more, she said.

That's ridiculous. I still haven't gotten a reply and I've sent her 3 emails now. I think I'm going to file a report with the BBB.

Good news, got this from Erica today,

Hi xxxx,

Unfortunately the fulfillment process becomes a little more complicated and lengthy when you have a large quantity of prizes to fulfill and the need to fulfill both domestically and internationally.

Regardless, this does not excuse the right to the prize you are owed in a timely fashion, which is why of course we offer our apologies for the delay. That being said, we've followed up with those who are fulfilling the prize to you and they have confirmed that US Second Prize winners will be getting their prizes within the next 4 weeks.

Sincerely,

Erica Valdellon

Marden-Kane Inc

I got a similar email yesterday:

Hi xxxx,

We've followed up on shipping for you and it seems that they should

begin shipping within 2 weeks. Your prize will ship out either by DHL or

UPS Ground.

Delivery can take up to 2 weeks after the day that it ships. I've put in

a request for the tracking #, so that you may follow delivery. I will

let you know if this shipping timeline changes further. Thank you again

for your patience.

Sincerely,

Erica Valdellon

Marden-Kane Inc.

I chased them up for you guys. Glad to hear they're sending you some e-mails.

[EcPercy]

I got my 4th prize a week or so ago. 4th was 3 games for windows games.

I got:

Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition

Zoo Tycoon 2 Zookeeper Collection

Age of Empires 3

Not too bad for working some puzzles and having a bit of fun in the process!

[robjkay]

That's ridiculous. I still haven't gotten a reply and I've sent her 3 emails now. I think I'm going to file a report with the BBB.

Keep the immaturity out

Do you have a problem? Prize or not, if a company promises you something in 6 to 8 weeks and they just ignore you until 9 weeks later, that's not good business.
