Contacting @DAFTrucksUK, Jonathan Lee added: “Hi I won a 1,50-scale model truck in your Christmas competition and it’s still not arrived. I understand Royal Mail are having a few issues at the moment and appreciate the delay but I thought I better make yourselves aware any chance you could look into this for me.”
