So I’ll admit when I messed up. This is one of those times; or, well, two of those times in one.

I had the electrapour prizes for Mikey and Taylor returned to me for insufficient postage; just got them back in the mail Friday and yesterday, respectively. Evidently, you can’t just put two stamps on each, and ship them off, but I didn’t really have the time to stand around in the Post Office with all the other work I had going on.

So, I apologize; you two should be getting your prizes shortly, as you’re both in pretty much the same general area as I am, so first class mail won’t take too long. And to answer an earlier inquiry: The winner of the Breathalyzer was not announced on the site; he was contacted by email, just like everyone else who has ever won anything on the site. This is done because:

1. Not everyone wants their name broadcasted as the winner;
2. Contacting by email helps verify that it’s a real person who won;
3. I need to ask for an address to send the stuff to, in order to mail the stuff out; and
4. It’s easier for me to do; especially if someone doesn’t reply soon enough, and I have to retry and followup anyway.

The Electrapours are, specifically, the only prizes this post pertains to, because I had these items in hand. For the Martini Set prize (for which I received confirmation that it arrived) and the Breathalyzer from last week, I ordered the prizes directly from the stores online as gifts, and had them shipped to the winners. So, there you have it: stupid when it comes to calculating postage, sure; unreliable when it comes to mailing things out from my home, absolutely; shady, or in any way dishonest or disingenuous — that, I will not cop to. Not that I’d have anything to gain by not sending over these things, anyway.
