Hi sodapop, thanks for raising this. We know many of our users live abroad and it's great that the Gransnet community extends so far. When it comes to competitions it's often dictated by whoever is running the competition for us. Postage charges can be exorbitant, especially for heavy prizes, and it also becomes very tricky to track and make sure prizes arrive safely. It is fairly standard practice amongst most sites running comps for just these reasons. We are always more than happy to post the prize to a UK address (friend/family member) if the winner would prefer and they can collect it when they next visit. Could this be an option for you?
