    It may be free- but just why would you want a sample of newborn nappies, and a voucher for more newborn nappies, unless you were either pregnant or had a new born child?

    Just got a postcard with a sample of Thierry Mugler Womanity on it. The postman just said "jaysus, that's some address". It was addressed to:

    Miss S. xxxxxxx,
    xxxxxxx,
    xxxxxxxxx,
    Co. Longford
    Ireland
    Republic of Ireland
    0 Longford
    Northern Ireland
    United Kingdom
    BT1 1AA
    Ireland

    :D:D:D (perfume's rank, by the way)

    From the confirmation e-mail: "€8 worth of coupons to be used against your next seven purchases of Pampers products are on their way to you by post. They should be delivered within a month to your home address given during your registration."

    Hopefully it's not just for Newborns, my niece is still in nappies & her mother could use the coupons for her stuff.

    In the Terms + Condt you can only order 4 per household and 1 per email address per week. So i would wait 7 days and try it again or use an alternative email address.

    Yep! Same here. It usually works a treat!!

    Bought something off amazon 2 weeks ago used postcode and no sight of it yet.
    Mind you, it probably takes longer due to the redirection to ROI

    You cannot automatically assume it will be redirected. Less than 35% of post is actually redirected- of the remainder half is securely destroyed, the other half returned to sender.

    We have discussed this on this thread previously- BT1 1AA (or 2AB) are locations in central Belfast (not the sorting office!!!!). If you direct post to these locations, and the postie is unable to find the address- it gets put in the lost mail silo- where what happens to it is at the whim of the sorting officer.

    Anyhow- Amazon now have free shipping to Ireland- so whats the story with delibertly sending your package awry?

    Source?

    Mail directed to BT1 1AA goes to the Tomb Street sorting office- where its determined to not be for local delivery. Its then forwarded to the Delivery centre on Donegal Quay- where letters and packages are seperated, and letters/small packages may be allocated (depending on the sorter) to the An Post trolley- while larger packages, parcels and/or any special delivery items (such as registered mail) is redirected to the special mail centre at Portsmouth.

    The customer service centre for Royal Mail Belfast- is also located in the Donegal Quay centre- and if you ask to talk to Michael Cox- or any representative- they will be more than happy to discuss their growing frustration with us here (when I was chatting to them- they even mentioned how googling free mail delivery from UK to Ireland brings up this very Boards.ie thread!!!)

    While they haven't implicitly stated so- the inference was that an increasing volume of mail is being directed to Portsmouth, where it previously went on the An Post trolley for Portlaoise- the 35% mentioned is a figure they randomly used.

    If you pop into them next time you're in Belfast (I am frequently)- they will be only too happy to chat to you. They will also direct you to a local post shop who do formal mail forwarding services to Dublin.

    You can get a free canvas bag with a photo or design of your choice on it - you only have to pay for postage - http://bit.ly/d9hoUa

    Whats the problem with forwarding post to Dublin?
    Surely if you work in a post office you can expect large numbers of letters & parcels!

    As the post office workers in Belfast, still get paid their wage what is their problem?

    The cost of postage is not deducted from their wages. They should do their job and send the mail forward to its intended recipient.

    I really appreciate them sending it on to Dublin but those that send it on to Portsmouth are just being nasty & bitter.
    In fact interferring with the mail or "knowingly" misdirecting the mail is illegal. Anyone in Belfast that is not sure where Dublin, Cork, or Galway is, shouldn't be employed in a Sorting Office.

    To all Royal Mail workers, we appreciate you doing your job. Send Irish post to Ireland in good spirit and neighbourly friendship. The freebies are a little bonus in these hard times - please keep up the good work.

    Umm then isnt us putting bt1 1aa illegal then, as we are misdirecting mail?
    Perhaps the bosses there are cross because of extra hours having to be paid to staff to sort post, that should never be in their depot in the first place?

    Regarding bt11aa freebies, by all means do them, I do it too, just dont give out if you dont receive the item.
    If it is an item you paid for, put the proper address on, or use a forwarding company.
