As far as i know fedex doesnt have anything to notify you, though they did call my sil last weekend to let her know she had a package coming on Monday (a surprise dvd win). They've never called me though.

FedEx Home Delivery will call if they have a delivery that requires a signature.

Any idea why Good Housekeeping would need to verify my shipping info twice on a win--when I provided my info on the initial entry form? Each of last two notices says reply by or be disqualified. It is becoming less of a joy to win, and more like hey we will keep asking until we can DQ your win. If that is the case, why offer the contest in the first place?

I had a few companies do that before, they said it was to verify I still lived at that address and have not moved since I filled the form out to make sure the prize got to me.

Well I recieved winning notice one month after contest expired, filled out info...3-4 weeks pass they ask me again...

Because you were trading in the wrong area of the site, and it appeared you had fraudulent papa johns codes (it was limited to one code per person). Better suited to sell them on eBay or Craigslist.

Well I did play for the whole family and perhaps even every pet. Very aside the point really I could have very well acquired them from one of near hundred sweeps buddies I have.. i actually was offered a few but I turned them down. either way this place is known as slick deals I would have really thought 60% off pizza would be favorable!

Thank you for a response though- could you point me in the right direction? I'll trade them at $4 amazon a piece? Seems like a good deal and honestly it will buy my a months worth of toilet paper or diapers from amazon..

You are very brave to admit you play for your pets in the C&S forum

They like pizza too.

Im not going to lie, i typically dont cheat. Something like this sure will! I dont have a 13 yr old son, but when there is a lunchable or cartoon network sweep- i suddenly have a 13 yr old son. Otherwise im a straight shooter. I don't have time to care who hates me. I'm a real person with real problems. Guess what now I got real pizza who wants some lmao.

Seriously though.. I'm taking care of family here. A lot of misfortune both financially and health wise for my siblings last year(18/26).. I have a full plate(not pizza reference)

Hi, newbie here. I would like to know which is the best place to look for blog giveaways. Are they listed heron SD? I see a lot of ppl speaking about small blog giveaways and higher chances of winning, unable to figure out where.

No, they aren't listed here - you have to find them, yourself. I subscribe to lots of blogs, so I usually search through them for sweeps. There are various ways to find them: google and twitter searches are just a couple.
