@Justamum I went through the details you've sent on the private message, and I should be able to ship out replacement cartridges to you, on priority although, I needed to know if you're okay with a 7-9 business day TAT? If yes, please confirm if the shipping address updated on the account is correct, if it isn't please send the private message with the correct address.

And have a good day.

Yes all my details are up too date thank you , also thank you for the quick response 

HP Recommended

@Justamum I have placed an order for you, they should be able to deliver in the aforementioned time,

Although, expect a slight delay due to the pandemic affected areas and if you need to track the package, just log into your HP Instant Ink account, the information to track the other should be available in a day or two.

 

Also, to ensure everything is okay, I'll follow-up in a few days to check up on you,

if you get the package before I contact you, let me know & keep me posted if you need anything else.

 

If you wish to thank me for my efforts, you could click on "Accept as solution" on my post as the solution should help others too.

I notice that you have 2 sets of ink cartridges , have you tried both the color cartridges on the printer?

HP Recommended

Only one set has arrived atm but I have taken pics of the brand new one and the old empty one that is being recognised in my printer I will try to add the one with the lighter colour strip is the old one that’s fine although it’s empty the other darker colour is the one received this morning via DHL not recognised

And every tricolour cartridge that doesn’t work has the darker strip on them has a faulty batch been made as this is the only think left I can think of
