    Did this work for anyone? I just get failed to send.
    Just wondering if I'm blocked or something.

    It's not freetext, costs a small amount. Might be blocked on your phone/plan.

    Kikkoman chopper is only available to the UK:

    Many thanks for getting in touch. We apologise that the T’s & C’s had been missed off and has now been added. Unfortunately this competition is open to the UK only.

    Okay. That's a strange one. :confused:
    I do a lot of these texts comps as my husband won a €500 One4all last year, so I know it's possible.
    This is the only one that hasn't worked for me.

    Usually the text ones are free though, this one has a charge. Are you on a bundle that includes texts it won't be included I'd imagine so u would need credit. If ur bill pay it should have worked

    No, I have credit alright. Dunno what it could be. Maybe I'm blocked. :rolleyes:

    Edit: I think it might be the Tesco network. I tried it on another Tesco phone and it didn't work, but it did work on a phone with Vodafone.

    Aye but they official Public Relations on behalf of Kikkoman UK says not this time. They also added the terms to the page. I emailed and asked if I can use a postal address in the UK though just to see. No harm like.

    So seconds after I post I get a reply email lol:

    Yes, if we are able to post the prize to a UK address that would be fine – just make sure that you enter a UK postcode when you enter.

    No plans to extend the competitions to Ireland at the moment, although this might be something we can look into in the future. The Kikkoman.eu website occasionally do competitions which are open to all of Europe.

    So from that I would assume if you want to use addresspal then use the postcode: AL10 9WN (Everyone had the same one for hatfield addresspal yeah?)

    They have a lunch bag giveaway that ended yesterday but hey keep an eye out now.

    Some of the UK ones won't be open to us anymore thanks to Brexit. So double check the regular ones T&Cs. Same for Advents, and some have the cheek to call themselves UK & Ireland pphhhffft!

    I don't know if I'm coming or going, or what day it is...lol

    How would brexit affect it? Addresspal will still be there though?
    Why would they still not post competitions for both countries?

    Personally I wish they would use the distinction between ROI and NI

    Did anyone else win the M&Ms One4All voucher a few weeks ago and have you received it if so? I haven’t received mine and I’m not sure what to do.

    My uncle didn't receive yet, he is hoping it would come before Christmas to use

    I just checked there and I see they are charging delivery now, it wasn't like that when I ordered. Maybe too many people were ordering the dunnes one

    For anyone using gift house I think vouchers that aren't labelled as e-gift vouchers incur a delivery charge. Both the delivery charge and service charge aren't available until you go to checkout which I think is quite disingenuous. They mention a request at point of purchase as whether it goes via email or post but I didn't get an option.

    Can I recommend for people buying toys, the Smyths voucher is an e-voucher too. Arrived within 13 hours of my order so I ordered something click and collect. It was ready for collection 30 minutes after my order. There's a service charge on the gift house checkout for it, as with all orders.

    Sorry Stephy, it's a voucher on the GiftHouse site, for those of us winning the Coca-Cola Gift text comp. I don't know what Vodafone's prize is.

    Ah ok. I got a €10 one from the Vodafone scratch, but it seems it can only be used by ringing them off travel services and not off anything on their website.

    Hate when a prize is useless:( Hold onto it for a while (check use by date) - we might find a few swaps will be available at the end of Advent.
