I agree, not even remotely a year's supply. I'd expect at least 6 bottles of shampoo/conditioner each. Maybe 3-4 of styling product since you likely don't use it as much as the shampoo/conditioner.

I'd expect to get a shipment every month for what they sent you.

I wouldn't ask IF another shipment was coming, I would ask WHEN it was coming. What was the ARV on the prize? Was there one?

Yes, most companies have a right to substitute at their discretion, but it's for a prize of equal or greater value. They can't say you won $500, then send you a $25 Target gift card instead. They could, however, send you a $600 Target gift card and call it a day.

Yikes! How chintzy. That certainly isn't a year's supply, unless their products are super-concentrated. Who is the sponsor?

Of course I would and you should definately ask the company when the other products are expected to arrive.

There was no ARV or details of what the prize was supposed to be. I haven't heard back from them so I'm getting the feeling that's all they plan to send.

I won this as well, and only received 3 products. Funny, I just emailed the person that emailed the winning notification to me, on Halloween. I was wondering when I could expect the prize. She told me usually 8-12 weeks was the norm. So I was both surprised and disappointed when I received the 3 products yesterday. I will be emailing her again, and will let everyone know what's what.

LOL - I was just looking at the winning email that was sent to me and it said "Clear your bathroom counter...the best is yet to come!". I have lots of room on my bathroom counter for 3 products

I just got an email from the fulfillment company that says "...We will send you additional hair products from our office to make up for it. We apologize for your disappointment!"

That's very nice of them. I guess that's really all the sponsor had intended to send.
