The winner of our latest competition is announced…
It’s been another busy week on the @dhlservicepoint Twitter stream and you’ve certainly kept us on our toes with your brilliant entries.
This week we asked you what the weirdest package you’ve ever sent or received is, and with 113 entries you didn’t disappoint!
All week you’ve been tweeting us with your mad entries that have made us laugh, cringe, gasp – or all three! And we were particularly surprised to see a high number of entries about guinea pigs, teeth and various food types, including chocolate-covered ants!
Due to the high number of great entries, we decided to share our favourite top 10:
@finleypoppet: Emailed hotel to say we’d left son’s glasses. No problem we have them. Got a hearing aid instead. Must have got lost in translation! – How ironic!
@bev_metallica: A small box of guinea pig poo! No, really! (Sent to a pig on antibiotics who needed the healthy bacteria from it!) – Well you learn something new every day!
@WISHGIRL123: I’ve sent fertile chicken eggs and had live maggots sent to me for my chickens – What did the postie think of that?
@Saspidistra: This life-size cardboard dalek arrived in the post recently! – Thanks for the great photo.
@_sal1978_: I once had to send our garden scarecrow by courier to my sister when she was at uni to decorate a room for a party – What was the theme to that party?
@thunderbirdsGO: I received a Nappy Cake congratulating me on my 1st child. I was 13, NOT pregnant & my parents totally freaked out! – We’re not surprised they did!
@trainsniffer: When my puppy lost her baby teeth my mother insisted I post them to her so she could put them in a scrap book – What else went in there?
@mumsiekelzof4: Some edible lollies with dead bugs inside from my sister in law. There was an ant, scorpion and maggot – What did they taste like?
@_Rachel_S: My Nan sent me a book on caring for tropical fish. I don’t own any tropical fish – Your Nan sounds great!
@Sarah_Ly1: I had my old teeth mould sent through to me recently, which I took when I had my brace when I was 13. Ewww – Gross!
And the winner is…
Although there were many fantastic entries, there was one clear winner that shocked us, scared us and made us laugh:
@For_Kate: Last year I received a packet of dried shrimp & a spanner with a note saying: “Thank you sweetheart” * scared face *
Congratulations Katie, you’ve bagged yourself £100 in High Street vouchers.
Thank you to everyone who entered. Keep an eye out for more great competitions coming your way soon.
