if i used the antrim virtual address and it's delivered on release day ...will i get it the next day delivered to my door ?

Depends on how busy they are. I have had home delivery next day - 4 days later.

Note 19th is Thursday so if its mot next day you will have to wait till following Monday/Tuesday.

Wouldn't a ps5 be too big for parcel motel locker? Parcel wizard probably better option

It will be. The console huge and Amazon will
put an outerbox on it also.

I have had Xbox One and PS4 Pro from them all being shipped in large boxes which were oversized.

They operate Sundays as well.

We are talking home delivery here not locker. They only operate Monday-Friday in my area anyway (Home Delivery).

Locker delivery is 7 days a week.

Am I wasting my time ordering one from Curry's for the 12 launch using Parcel Wizard?

Going by how Amazon nearly always put whatever I order in unnecessarily large boxes, you should definitely plan for the PS5 not fitting in one of Parcel Motel's lockers.

Also, don't be surprised if Amazon ship the console, controller and cables in different boxes even if you specifically click "Send my order in as few deliveries as possible"

Sorry... Amazon really gets on my tits sometimes....

The queue is already insane so more than likely yes. There were 40,000 people in their queue last week. Expect more this time.

Has anyone found out for sure that the box won't fit?
Locker delivery isn't 7 days a week, they don't place items in lockers on Sundays.

It wont. The box is already big enough for console. Amazon has massive outer boxes so 99.9% oversized. They could slap labels onto the console box but people will complain about that so there will be outer box for sure.

Yes they do. They do for me almost every Sunday. I have had few thousand parcels with them.

Amazon have changed since last gen , i got the ps4 delivered directly to my door from them on release day in 2013. Now they only allow UK addresses so i had to use parcel motel. kind of annoying because it was so convenient last time around .

I ordered a Ps5 off amazon today without the need of Parcel Motel

I seen the above message about digital only and went back to change mine. I managed to change my disc version to my irish address so for anyone unsure about using a uk virtual address you can now go back and change it !

No they don't, Parcel Motel do not place parcels in lockers on a Sunday, it may be placed before and you can grab it on a Sunday but that's it.

From their site:
All motels are serviced daily by our drivers from Monday to Saturday.

So tell me again about the thousands of parcels you've received.

So for parcel motel from Amazon order the options are get them to deliver to door, likely not till Monday / Tuesday or collect from their depot which in Dublin is in North City Business Park?

Look I dont have the time to argue with your silly statements. I get parcels stored every Sunday in my lockers. May be area dependent. I have had over 10,000 parcels with them. Go troll elsewhere.
