Nothing has been Shipped Out to me - no one has even contacted me to confirm my shipping address or make arrangements for delivery.
I fulfilled my end of the bargain - bought their $200 puzzle - solved it - and earned the prize that they promised and that they have widely advertised I have won. Since that time, despite a concerted effort on my part (dozens of emails, phone calls, and letters) they have provided nothing but their empty assurances, time after time, that my prize will be delivered "soon." They have not even managed to send me the key - that was supposed to be inside - that I had to pay an additional $10 shipping and handling for. I might point out that these issues are not unique to me - apparently NONE of the US winners have received their prizes. Even though several people had solved the puzzle several weeks before I did.
Oh, yeah - by the way, now they are offering me $800 in compensation in lieu of the Massage Chair. Glad to see that you, too, interpreted their advertising and prize listings to infer that I had won the $2000 massage chair that they had widely advertised.
Maybe, if you: solved the puzzle - received their indication that you had won a $2000 massage chair - contacted Sonic Warp only to be referred to Sharper Image then contacted Sharper Image, only to be referred back to Sonic Warp - went back and forth with each them for weeks and weeks and weeks - and had them, then, suggest that you take 1/3 of the value of the prize that you had reasonably thought you had won - you might understand my frustration and not be so critical.
It was easier to solve the "world's most difficult puzzle" than to get prize - or maybe this is part of the test?
