I always do now. There have been 2 VV requests I sent (to venues that supposedly passed on fanmail) with out emailing first, and I never got anything from either of those requests. But for every single venue that I emailed first to confirm they WOULD pass on my letter, I have gotten a return from the band/artist.

Same here!! I have been emailing all the venues I sent to this year and ones that have confirmed they'll pass along fanmail, I've gotten replies from! {up} definitely a good idea and saves you from getting RTS's. {up}

I'd use this one: info@necgroup.co.uk

If that doesn't work, try the one for customer services

There's no way to tell really. I've gotten a response 2 days after the concert, and I've gotten responses a couple weeks after. Usually though it only takes about a week give or a take a few days. I'm currently waiting on 3 bands: Evanesence, Five Finger Death Punch and Simple plan. Its been over 2 weeks for FFDP and Evanesnce, and about a week for simple plan. It's right around this 2 week mark that I get nervous that it's not coming back {down}
