Winners

Frequently Asked Question

• What were the prizes being given away for Black Friday 2017?

  In total, ten (10) iPhone X smartphones were given away.

• Was I eligible to win?

  If you placed an order valued at $10.00 USD or more between November 23rd at 3pm EST (15:00 EST) and November 26th at 11:59 PM EST (23:59 EST), then yes... you're good to go. Each eligible order placed gets you one entry to win. The $10.00 minimum threshold included shipping (meaning that if you placed an order below $10.00, but the shipping fee put you over $10.00, you were eligible).

  For the sake of clarity, below is a list of example purchase values and how many eligible ballot entries would have been gained by a customer making the example purchase:

  • $9.99 = zero eligible ballot entries.
  • $10.00 = one eligible ballot entry.
  • $10.01 = one eligible ballot entry.
  • $100.00 = one eligible ballot entry.
• Were the prizes available to anyone worldwide?

  Of course.

• How did you draw a winner?

  Great question. Let's break it down.

  Each order placed generated a unique Order ID. This Order ID was used as your entry (called a Ticket ID). Additionally, each No Purchase Necessary email ballot was assigned its own unique Ticket ID. Upon completion of the Black Friday promotional period, all Ticket IDs were gathered and represented as unique records in a database table. From this pool of unique Ticket IDs, ten random entries were picked using randomly generated seeds based on the NumPy project. These random selections were the resulting winners.

• Was there a No Purchase Necessary option?

  Yep! To enter without having made a purchase, you could have sent us a paper ballot, available here.

• If I won, will I have to pay any additional shipping costs, duties, or taxes?

  Of course not. Everything is fully paid for by dbrand.

• If I won, can I use my existing SIM card on the device?

  Yes. The device we're shipping is globally unlocked, carrier-free.

• If I won, do I have to do anything once I receive the device?

  If you're on social media, feel free to tweet out a photo or post one on Instagram, tagging @dbrand, to verify that you've received your prize.

• I won. How are you going to contact me?

  First of all, congrats! Check the email address used during checkout. You should have an email from us with further details on how to collect your prize.
