I won two prizes via postcard, and they came postage due.

I entered YOMD via postcard, and won two Dream Lanyards, but the funniest thing was that both came postage due. Mickey must not have been told about the postage increase a couple of months ago.

Re: I won two prizes via postcard, and they came postage due.

The postman came up and told me "I have a certified letter for you from Disney." So here I'm thinking man I won something pretty good if their sending it Certified Mail. She then tells me that I owe the US Post Office $.52. I figure it's a small price to pay for a vacation, gift card or something of serious value. I open it up, and it was a lanyard. Maybe I can get them to give me a $1.04 discount off of my next trip in April.

Congrats on the dream! What happened to no purchase necessary? Isn't the cost of a stamp a purchase?

Re: I won two prizes via postcard, and they came postage due.

Shoot, with the postage you paid to mail in a postcard and then paying for THEIR shortage on postage, you could've just bought the lanyards! LOL Oh well. Still fun to win something from Disney!

Re: I won two prizes via postcard, and they came postage due.

I would call and tell them about it!! I had some problems with a rude CM at MNSSHP one year . . . and I was so upset with his UNMAGICAL behavior and the fact that he upset my MOM that I called. (I never do this . . . EVER!)

WDW was also upset and told me they would speak to the CM and find out the reason behind his rudeness and then she sent me a $25 GC as a sorry gift!! Which I thought was VERY NICE.

SO . . . point is . . . I think they will send you something, since they made a mistake and your postage was incorrect . . . it's worth the call!! Cuz, postage due takes a bit of magic out of the prize!!

Re: I won two prizes via postcard, and they came postage due.

You can call them to just make them aware of the postage difference, so they don't continue to do the same. Maybe they will be grateful for your concern and send you something else.

Re: I won two prizes via postcard, and they came postage due.

I wasn't even thinking of calling them, but, I wonder how many others are paying for the postage as well. Thanks for the advice.
