Bosch spark plug contest

A month or so ago I entered a contest sponsored by internetbrands.com to win a set of Bosch spark plugs and the possibility of other prizes if I did win.

So around the beginning of Sept. I get notified by an internetbrands.com employee that I am a winner and needed to verify my information, I did this and never heard another word even after multiple emails.

A week or so ago I get a questionaire asking about the plugs, I try to contact that gentleman as well to tell him I never got the plugs and no responses or answers from him either.

Just wondering if anyone else was as unfortunate as myself ? and is this the way internetbrands.com does business ??

Hey guys, sorry about the delay in getting the plugs out to some of the winners. We had about 100 being mailed out and Bosch has said there are some that were delayed due to the certain type of vehicle. I just got reassurance today from them that the Mini plugs are being mailed out soon. Here are a few posts from other users who have received theirs on other sites through the same contest:

They are out there guys.. we apologize for the wait and will keep pressing Bosch to get these out sooner. Thanks
