[...] Parcelforce texted the delivery slot. No delivery. Parcelforce and HP’s tracking systems then claimed I had refused the parcel. I scheduled a redelivery for the next day. Parcelforce then rang me and the agent acknowledged a delivery had not been attempted and that the tracking information was false. It claimed HP had requested that the parcel be returned to sender.

a 15in model with 12th gen 1215u, 8gb and 256gb ssd sold last week from multiple u.s. sources (dell direct and hp via walmart) for $250-260 this past week.

399gbp is about 500usd, totally plausible for a 'sale price' on a reasonably-spec'd (such as no discrete gpu) 17in model.
