    Talking Question; Winning a HEXUS draw

    Hi, first and foremost I'm new to the Hexus.net community but everyone seems very helpful from what I've read so far.

    My question is; if you have won something from Hexus.net and they have mailed you and asked for confirmation/info (address etc...) will they e-mail back to say that they have received your info (a confirmation e-mail) or should i simply sit tight and wait for that special something when the postal-service shows up at my door?

    Thanks a ton and I hope that someone can help answer my question, cheers!

    EDIT: I apologize in advance if I'm in the wrong forum-thread!

    Hi Maboof,

    I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, not my department, but I'll make sure someone who does gets back to you ASAP and congratulations.

    Re: Question; Winning a HEXUS draw

    well, first of all. conrgats maboof

    the compo i won a few weeks ago, DR emailed me, i mailed back my address and stuff.

    within a day or so, prizes had arrived,

    i fired off another email saying it had arrived.

    thats it.

    DR's a busy guy. theres no knowing what he and his minions do in the confines of the hexus building, to get all these wonderful prizes. he may be a bit 'tied up' so cant reply to each and every email.

    but if its not turned up by the weekend, send another email on monday and let him know.

    (although, posting to ON Canada could take a bit longer )

    No confirmation no but usually speedy postage.

    As a winner previously I can certainly say to cynics that prizes are real

    I'm not a cynic but a realist in that I think my chances of winning are small. I still thinks it's fun to enter though, so I don't mind the small chances, it's not like I have to pay to take part like I would with the lottery (where my chances are significantly smaller and playing costs money too).

    Forumite only comps seem to be the best odds

    That's true, I forgot about those. I did win a game on one of those.
