代えさせていただきます sentence translation


I'm trying to translate this sentence

> 当選者の発表は、商品の発送をもって代えさせていただきます。

I know that をもって here means something like で

But I really can't understand the meaning of it and also what are some
possible contexts.

Please help translate.




> 「当選者{とうせんしゃ}の発表{はっぴょう}は、商品{しょうひん}の発送{はっそう}をもって代{か}えさせていただきます。」

This is an extremely famous sentence used in prize contests and sweepstakes.

「代える」 here means "to substitute".

The sentence talks about taking the liberty of substituting the actual
shipping of the prizes for the public announcements of the winners. That is
the literal meaning of it.

A more natural TL woud be:

> "Only winners will be notified."
