Tower Hobbies Sweepstakes
SHOOT............ I had been delinquent in checking my email (last checked 9/29) and on 9/30, I received an email from Tower (Peggy Karl) that I had won a $150.00 Tower gift cert. which I had until 10/2 to claim. Well.. Roddie got down on his knees and wrote a reply to Peggy.. asking if I still had a chance. Their monthly email sweepstakes had ran for a year; starting in Sept 2013 thru Sept 2014.. and I was their last chosen winner.
I'm probably S.O.L. though.. S.O.M.L. (story of my life)

Well, you're still the winner, just not
with the $150.
Sorry to hear about that Roddie.

Re: Tower Hobbies Sweepstakes
Truthfully, I don't do too much shopping at tower.
A lot of their stuff is 5 years out of date compared to other manufactures. And the basic hardware stuff I can get shipped from my LHS and have it the next day, not the next week or two.

Well, that's a rip! Oughta give a guy at least a week or so! The only reason to do this in the first place is to inspire more orders...THIS deal would tend to tick a guy off...

Re: Tower Hobbies Sweepstakes
Well.. through the years.. I've had really good experiences with Tower. Their customer service has been excellent in the few times I've had issues. More than once, they sent the wrong item (... once being a fairly expensive 1300 mAh NiCd sub-C receiver pack) When I contacted them about it, they apologized and told me to keep it.. and promptly sent the correct item. Their "Tower-Branded" products I believe are mostly Hobbico, Top Flite and Futaba items.. re-badged with the Tower name. The Tower and Hobbico power-panels are identical.. and I'll bet that "Tower-Kote" is actually "Mono-kote". A large distributor like Tower can make these kinds of deals with the manufacturer, buy the products in bulk.. and pass the savings on to their customers.. and everybody benefits from it.
Here's the letter I replied with..
Hi Peggy, My name is Roger Jordan (Tower Cust.# **********) I unfortunately hadn't read my email since 9/29. I skimmed over the sweepstake rules.. and noticed that I was probably the "last" chosen winner.. as per the contests' end-date. I was required to respond by last Thurs. 10/2... Am I out of luck?
Here's my contact info.. if there's the possibility that I can still claim my prize.
I understand completely if responding late disqualifies me.
Thanks in advance,
Roger
We'll see if they take pitty on me..

Did you include a picture of a puppy? If not, do a quick follow-up email with the original title and "addendum" !
Basset Puppies photos work best for this...I'm told.

Re: Tower Hobbies Sweepstakes
I'd really do it! If you make Peggy laugh, you've touched he heart and made her feel good. It's always about feelings isn't it. That must me why my wife sometimes shouts, "How do you think that makes me feel!?!"
