OP here.

Good stuff - I was starting to think none were going to make it.
Did yours ever have the 'returned to sender' status?

No, when I looked at the tracking info it said it had been posted on Friday and then it arrived yesterday.

Mines been shipped this morning, not holding out much hope but I'll be optimistic!

Mine is the same. I assume it means they are back with the sender.

I don't think so. Both "return to sender" and "goods delivered" show on the same day.

Are you at the delivery address?
Are you sure it wasn't delivered?

OP here.
Mine went from 'return to sender' to delivered the next day.

No mine was delivered by Target.
It started off with City-Link from UK (mainland) to the North.

Is Northern Monkey the only one who got one delivered??

iggy

Just got email

"We confirm that your order 1223-2299900-001 has been cancelled, because the order has been returned to our warehouse following three unsuccessful attempts at delivery. Please accept our apologies that we were not on this occasion able to meet your requirements satisfactorily.

Is this the same mail that everyone is getting?

So the Postal Service in Northern Ireland re-ship stuff with the BT1 1AA postcode using a courier :eek:

It's City-Link that HP use not the Royal Mail

Ok - maybe I got this wrong but I understood that this BT1 1 AA postcode thing works by the Royal Mail redirecting stuff to Dublin if that postcode is used with an Irish address.

No idea how it works in this case as a courier was used.

lau1247

it probably depends on how the address is read??

Seeing as some managed to get through.. finger cross, mine just says arrived at depot..

That post code is just belfast i thought.

It is.

I just used it to get the case into the island of Ireland.
A parcel sorter in Belfast is more likely to realise my address is really in Dublin than a parcel sorter somewhere else.

Hopefully it'll work for a few more people...

Aye, here's hoping! Still no mail to say anything otherwise, so i'm still hopeful.

I'd say the influx of people trying this had an effect too.

Mine says delivered too:

Mine too..

Zohan does your estate/area name happen to exist up in the north??

Like say "XX The Green".. I think is what happens to mine.. Which probably got sent to someone else

Sir Oxman

I've had mine cancelled and an email from paypal saying HP have made a refund

No, there is no other place like it in Irelan.

It's been updated:

Tracking History

16:09 Tuesday, February 21, 2012 On route to delivery depot

Might be going back...

Mr Bloat

I think the whole lot might be going back. In the mail from HP, they included a link to the City Link website with a job number in the link. If I take that job number and use it to search in the Track Your Parcel field on this page it gives me the information:
Current Status
In Our Network
This consignment is now being delivered on consignment number CG742428. Please re-track using consignment number CG742428.

If I use CG742428 to track the parcel, it gives me the booking information:

Customer Reference:20-NCWXP-11
Postcode:MK10 0BL
Delivery Depot:Milton Keynes
Number of Items:26

So, it looks like my case is on it's way to Milton Keynes, with 26 other items. How many of our cases make up those 26 items?

stevenf17

this what mine says!

Consignment CG741800
Planned Delivery Date
Wednesday 22nd February

Planned Delivery Time
Between 07:30 and 17:30

Booking Information
Customer Reference:20-NCTY6-11
Postcode:MK10 0BL

so not the same consignment but it does look like its on its way back

Mines the same! Dang it!

Redisle

Yeah mine has been sent back too

Bozacke

Mine also indicated delivered, although it wasn't, but now when I track the package using the consignment number as opposed to the original link HP provided, it gives a new consignment number and when I track that it indicates 26 pieces en-route to Milton Keynes, which is probably the nearest CityLink site to the HP location where the goods were originally shipped from. So it's probably 26 boardsies TP cases that are being returned, I don't really care at this point as long as they refund me. I suppose the NI postal code trick only works when the goods are shipped via the post, maybe CityLink let the first few through, but got fed up due to the volume and shipped them all back to HP.

OP here.

Sorry all that it didn't work out.

As said above I'd say they let mine though (and my mates one) because they looked on us as chancers but then when the other 30+ arrived they said "feck this".

Did anyone manage to get one?
Northern Monkey did I think and the bloke with the brother in Wales and maybe the guy with the sister in England.
Anyone else?

Who does this 'Martin' fella think he is signing for my case.... Guessing i'll be getting a refund soon

Africa

Anyone happen to get them today?

What did you guys do about a refund, or was it automatic?

lau1247

the so called "Martin" signed my package.. so back to HP it is..

I'm curious about refund situation also.
Didn't get any refund yet according to Paypal site.

tigershould

so i ordered on the 17/02

got my confirmation this morning

logged into the HP site and all it says is "New Order" under my order number


are we thinking that all BT1 1aa orders will be sent back ?

say it aint so

gaillimhabu

Here was my story

1) Tried with the Belfast post code and it got declined with a mail stating they don't deliver to southern ireland
2) Have a sister living in England so put her address as the delivery address and my own one as the billing adress. Still got declined stating both addresses had to be the same
3) Got onto my sister and she kindly ordered it for me for the £5. Will get it in mid March when she comes over

They tried to beat me but failed

I think many of us want to know "Who is this Martin?"

Well, I found him...
