andydude Posted October 28, 2016 Share FYI, nagging works. Got my two bottles delivered by courier this morning. Now it is time to ask them what they are going to do for the rest of the early bird entries...I tried to keep out of this one, but now I want to add.. this is shocking! How can you just not deliver on your promise? I have a suspicion that they actually don't have enough stock to give to all early entrants and that they bargain on only a small percentage that would follow up, like you did. I would want to see how many early entrants there were and what percentage of them received their bottles and whatever is inside. If I had the time I would've taken it further and get a consumer protection place involved. But alas, I don't. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eon du Plessis Posted October 28, 2016 Share I'd suggest pulling in the ASA as well. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VVC Posted October 29, 2016 Share Agree I did both....Wilro was hectic compared to Satelite....Seeding appears fine compared to Cycle tour, Shova and Berg and Dale. Patchelicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted November 2, 2016 Share Some feedback on the Questions posted to ASG regarding the Early Bird merchandise and the Lucky Draw: Wynand(ASG):"We have sent (and are still sending) bottles to the early bird riders who have got in contact and said they missed their bottles." "Up to date we have sent off 300 bottles, which has come at a considerable cost, in an effort to remedy the situation and try and supply to everyone who missed out. Winners of the stuff were:Keith Smith (bike bag)Bennie Pretorius, Ryno Hartman, Gary Glen, Bennie Pearson and Gerald Bothma." To which Eon replied:"Is there a way you can provide proof of entry for these winners? I find not a single name as a registered entrant to the Satellite Classic per racetec." Well done on thinking of that check Eon, didn't even cross my mind. So, if any of you know one of these lucky winners and can confirm whether or not they won these prizes it would be very helpful to discussions.

Thank you ASG. However this entire episode was preventable so let's hope lessons were learnt and preventative measure were implemented.

Vetplant Posted November 2, 2016 Share To which Eon replied:"Is there a way you can provide proof of entry for these winners?

For simplicity, let's assume a highly unlikely scenario where 50% of the Early Birds had Racetec Chips ad 50% did not... Now, ASG ended up with selecting 6 people at random, and all 6 of them coincidentally fell into the 50% who seems to not have racetec chips. So lets equate this to 6 coin flips. The chance of 6 coin flips in a row landing on the same side is 1.562%. To quote the stats statement on this scenario: "Which is also to say that there was a 98.44% chance that this outcome would not occur by chance." This is not impossible, Hillary Clinton won 6 coin flips on 1 Feb 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the names weren't unique, I checked each profile. I don't think that this is necessarily conclusive, which is why I asked them to provide proof. Furthermore, these draws have some regulations that they need to comply to. I'd like to know who did the draw, when this happened, etc. And if they don't want to provide the details to me, I'm happy to open a case against them. It's hardly much effort.
