I was on the receiving end of this frustrating experience! From a big, well-known company also. So sorry!

Wild Wear Texas sounds ridiculous! I can’t believe they would do this! IT’s not fair to you, us, or the winners!

I’ll never shop from them!

Great job explaining all the hard work that goes into a review, I think alot of people don’t realize how much WORK it is!

I won from Wild Texas on another blog months ago and never received my prize either. They truly are rotten

I realize this is an older post, but just had to chime in. How disheartening that a company would do this. And not just to one blogger but quite a few. I hope others will post about them too…this is not acceptable at all!

That really sucks! I know how that feels from the winners perspective. I hope I don’t have to go through that with any reps, although I’m sure I will. I guess the good thing about blogging is when something like this happens you have the voice to tell your readers the company sucks! Thanks for the heads up, because I will not be working, or associating with them ever! Again thanks for the heads up, and as always I love reading your blog! 🙂

Aww that stinks!! I won a few things back in May and have yet to receive them, so I know how frustrating it is from a winner’s perspective. I haven’t had a bad experience with a sponsor, and hope I never do, although I’m sure it will. 🙁

I totally get your frustration! I’ve had situations like this with companies that weren’t serious business! You did your best to fight for your winners rights.. the only thing left in your power was to apologize to your winners, which you did and then just move on! I’ve learned the hard way that dwelling on a matter like this that has no happy ending will only wear you out! So the faster you move on the better for yourself! Everybody gets bad business relations at some point so just learn and grow out of ’em:) Hope you will get better soon! Oh and I am now following your thanks to Follow Me Back Tuesday! Happy Tuesday!

Oh that is so awful. I have hosted one giveaway and from that experience, even though it was a positive one, I realize how much time and effort you put into hosting giveaways. It is so unfair when they don’t follow through. They are getting advertising at a very very reasonable rate. Like Jennifer I to have problems with companies following through with their giveaways from the winning side. It is so disappointing when you don’t get to try out the product you were so excited about winning. When I win something I tell my friends, my family, and sometimes I even give my opinion to strangers in a store. That is the power of advertising on blogs. Mommy’s read them, try out their products, and spread the word. Sorry to ramble but this kind of stuff burns my backside ;D

Thanks for the heads up. I will know not to deal with this company in the future. I’m so sorry they treated you and your readers so badly. I’ll help spread the word on Facebook for you.

That stinks that a company would do that. I will be sure to not do business with them, and will advise others against that company as well.

This post could not have been more well-written, Emily. Anyone who has ever written a review and hosted a giveaway can attest that the whole process takes MUCH longer than it may seem.

And the fact that this company essentially used you for advertising and then has decided to not hold up their end of the deal is unacceptable. I do hope that every person who entered unsubscribes and makes sure to NOT do business with them in the future. Any company that has such poor morals is not one that deserves shopping.

Good for you for doing all that you could and I’m sure that your readers know that and realize that the situation is not your fault.
