Did you ring the local depot? Mine sorted me out, took a couple of calls mind.

Just rang them there. Girl in the depot rang the driver who said it'll be about 2 hours by the time he gets to me She said he's not one of their regular drivers and is unfamiliar with the route.

That doesn't fill me with confidence.

Just to row back a little on my thanks to the DPD driver, I'm in work and got the delivery notice, my wife is working from home so presumed she had taken delivery. Got to talk to her about half an hour ago and it was delivered when she was dropping the kids back to school after lunch and Parladh:mad: put it over the back gate!

It's a good 6 foot drop over the back gate so I hope he was careful!!

Apparently no signs of damage but not exactly ideal and thankfully not raining today!

I have them coming to me within the hour. I'll give them a slap and say that's for RoryMac :pac:

The girl in DPD said 'it wouldn't happen to be a PS5 you're waiting on would it?!'. She said they received a call this morning at 8.30 from someone (probably a boards member ) who was in a panic over no scans showing. Rang back at 9 to ask had they any update.

She said it's been understandably mad today.

Answer from DPD webchat agent:

“The parcels are running late due to the current lockdown. There has been a delay to all of the parcels at the depot.”

When I asked if it will be delivered today they said

“It will take longer so please keep an eye on the tracking for further updates”

Whatever that means!

Oh like they didn't know we were in a lockdown...

DPD webchat have just told me that it won’t be delivered today and this has happened to most parcels.

Glad I didn’t stay up all night! I have one reserved for my brother in store so I’ll be taking that one

What id are smyths looking for when picking up console

Checked the app again & it's saying that Leo is 12 8 stops away. Wasn't aware that this was a feature.

Home stretch now hopefully.

Jasus I am fuming. 2 Smyths orders. One UPS one DPD for some reason. None delivered.

Just collected shop preorder from GameStop.

Easy process, just needed ID.

They were being *very* strict that person who ordered had to collect in person, and have ID. It seemed if you wanted someone else to collect you had to call them in advance.

I thought ups were usually good big disappointment, tracking just says in transit. Maybe they just have loads to deliver

Having got both of the new consoles, I have to say... just the feeling of setting it up, the new controller, the new UI, the sounds, everything... it just all gave me such a this is next-gen feeling. It really felt like a new generation. My Series X last week felt like more of a power upgrade than next-gen, probably because of the lack of first party titles, the same UI and almost the same controller. Not bashing the Series X, I've been enjoying it, but it didn't give me the same next-gen feeling.
