This last week I have noticed several other blog owners complaining about not receiving prizes they won via giveaways hosted on other blogs.
I have to add MY RANT too.
I want to say right off the bat, Thank Goodness the majority of Blog Owners are very concerned about keeping their readers happy.
I have won several products via giveaways from around the blogging world that I have never received.
It is so frustrating, it takes time to enter giveaways and some of the responses I have received from the blog owners that hosted the giveaway have given me the impression that their time is so much more important than mine.
My entries help boost their blog site stats and help them get more products to review!
I am fully aware at just how much time posting reviews and giveaways can be. I have found myself in front of this computer 8 to 10 hours on most days posting, contacting sponsors, answering emails, etc.
It is a full time job.
I'm dealing with a blog owner now that claims she never received the emails I sent her about a prize I won back in November, November 7th ! I sent her several!!! They all got lost????
Why are there so many owners that don't feel any responsibility for making sure prizes are sent? Or at least keep the winner informed with a email that says "I haven't heard anything yet, I'll send another email to the sponsors".
That doesn't take too much time and it shows the winner you care.
I sent her a strong email yesterday questioning her about why she hasn't responded to my emails, which, humm, she answered right away? She sends me a email claiming I never sent her any emails to let her know I didn't get the prize!!!!!
The sponsor was a "big name" company, so I'm going to try to find out today how to get a hold of the company.
I know bloggers are not responsible for the delivery of prizes, but the least bloggers can do is continue to contact their sponsor until the problem is solved.
If a blog owner is too busy to do follow up "Customer Service", maybe they shouldn't be hosting giveaways, just stick to doing reviews.
If you won a prize on my blog and haven't received it within 4-6 weeks, CONTACT ME!!!!!!
I will do everything I can to get the sponsor to fulfill their end of the deal AND I WILL ANSWER YOUR EMAILS.
My Rant....
