All prizes not claimed within 6 months will be put back into the prize pool. Please note that some items may require payment of customs charges when they arrive in destination countries.

Also, note that if something has a battery in it, it pretty much always means stress with sending them. These rules seem arbitrary and subject to constant change, so where possible, we'll ship things without the batteries and let you find one locally.

Electromaker contests are separate from the Electromaker store (I literally go to the post office to send prizes) so beyond giving tracking details there isn't a lot we can do if something goes missing.
