Hmm, that's interesting. The same did not happen for me because i've never had an account with BT. I just filled in my address in the form to receive one of the free Google Cardboard headsets, and it showed the same location as both the billing and shipping address. My friend however, had been with BT for line rental and fibre-optic broadband up until a few weeks ago when he switched providers, and his has already shipped despite the order being placed around 18 hours after mine. So what you're saying is that, BT account holders may have preferential treatment over non-account holders?

No, BT Shop accounts are separate from BT ID accounts AFAIK (different passwords), so I am not implying that BT account holders may have preferential treatment over non BT account holders.
However, existing BT Shop account holders may have preferential treatment over non BT Shop account holders - especially if the existing delivery address on the BT Shop account matches what was entered as the delivery address when applying for this deal.

It could also be that having an existing BT Shop account has no bearing whatsoever, and they simply started processing the huge backlog of orders starting with the most recent first - before the offer was withdrawn on Sunday evening "due to unprecedented demand".
This has been known to happen with other deals posted on HUKD in the past - i.e. the orders are not processed on a first-come first-served basis.

Thanks for the responses. I believe the second reason is definitely the most likely explanation, as to why the headsets are not shipping in the order we would expect. Anyways... Everything seems to be alright here now, as i received an email late this afternoon informing me that my order had started processing. Hopefully it should ship tomorrow and arrive before the weekend. :sunglasses:
