I think that they ask for a small fee for the processing. I am not saying it it fair, but can you imagine how many GDL fans will write a story in the hopes of having Gareth read it out loud. Heck some people might enter several times. The people organizing are probably asking for 5 pounds to weed out the serious writers and those who just want attention from Gareth? This is just my opinion.
Also about the hoodie, it is very likely that a small band such as Blue Gillepsie does not have loads of people working for them or the website. You might be one of the first Canadian to order from them so they might be a bit confused or not equiped to take payment. BUT that is no excuse for not replying to your emails.
