Why do you need all contestants' mailing address to figure out what the shipping cost is? Can you not calculate a shipping cost for whoever sent you their mailing address? Aren't the prizes supposed to be based on the points?
I have lots of prizes and I already listed who I need addresses from.
Sorry that this is so rinky dink and unprofessional, but its just the way I need it to happen so I know how much money I need to put towards shipping (looks like a lot due to international shipping). I am not a rich guy so its probably going to happen that I need to earn the money for shipping once I find out how many prizes are going where.
While I understand that, but I still don't understand why you need every contestant's mailing address in order to find out how much you will need to spend to ship all prizes. I mean it is not like you are going to ship all the prizes together to one location. Whoever sent you the mailing address first, why not ship it instead of waiting for all others to send you their mailing address? When you are out of funds, those who sent you the info late will have to wait. Just my idea.
EDIT: Would it be such an issue if I sent you some money to ship my prize?
2 1/2 months later and there is still no posted winner? I wish there was something nice I could say snipe, but I can only offer these suggestions. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it seems much of this could have been easily foreseen with a little planning and maybe hitting the USPS website to calculate some shipping costs to say, Siberia and use that as a worst case to plan your financial investment into shipping. Also, I am not sure how many "prizes" you are giving away, but that would be something to consider as well. 10 prizes that weigh in at 5-10 pounds could cost you plenty...

**among the people in the tie for the 9th spot (CS, asabaraba, marmott) I'm thinking of a number 1-100 - PM me which one im thinking of and I will rank you guys for prize picking based on who is closest)
Sniipe: I appreciate being on the list and am heartened to have won something, but in lieu of your economic shortcomings, I can save you the shipping to sweden and please award my prize to someone else. I'm not building anything ATM and feel it would be better suited to someone who is!
Thanks again for the contest!
