I paid for mine through Gamestop on Saturday and in the pre-order email it stated the the shipment date was between yesterday and Friday. Anyone know when I might get my console?

I emailed them today. Just got the same info as before "shipping between the 1st and 5th of February and allow 2-3 days for delivery." My guess is we won't get an update until they ship or Friday if they don't ship.

Smyths order. Stuck on "Your parcel is travelling through the DPD network ". I'm in Dublin 11
C'mon DPD.

Boom! Got the text and then delivered 2 minutes later.

It's a beaut!

Delivered, unboxed, transfer started. Roll on clock out time this afternoon. May the delivery gods be on everyone's side here.

Mine arrived this morning. The problem now is that herself was looking to get me a birthday present for next month and thought it might be an idea to use my PS5 for that purpose (I did half offer).

I’m sure transferring over saves, setting it up, downloading games and making sure it is not defective will need to be done well in advance.

I was feeling very smug getting my HN order in last week.

Wish I failed and got a smyths one now

We must have strength in these trying times.

TBH I ordered mine on Friday morning and found out that afternoon work was doing a global hours reduction to save cash, I'd say if I hadn't managed to secure one that morning I would have agonised about whether I could still justify the purchase on Sat morning and missed out anyway, so I can deal with having to wait.

Text and email saying 2-3pm today. Ill be surprised, the amount of times DPD didn't show for a day or two.

Status updated.......returned to depot. Wtf.

Edit: customer service says failed delivery. The driver didn't bother his hole so it's marked as failed. Nonsense.

I used to have to same issue as you.. had to start putting my Eir Code as the first line of my address because without fail every time DPD are delivering something the Eir code is cut off and yer man wouldn't bother ringing me until the 2nd/3rd "attempt" at delivering

AH NO Fecks SAKE! Mine got delivered from Smyths also just after 2pm. Amazing console!:D

Kilters

Big shout out to Smyth's. Very quick in getting them sent and the preorder tactic worked for weeding out a lot of scalpers.

Will be using them again for sure.

Got it delivered by DPD at 9.30 this morning its all setup now bloody hell its big nearly as big as the telly height wise but fantastic bit of kit

Smyths really did get it right

Smyths really seem the most organised and speedy retailer for consoles (when stock is available ) Congrats to all with successful orders and deliveries.

Still **** all from dpd on my order . Received parcel details from head office . I was one of first to order Saturday morning and living outskirts of Dublín

5uspect

Mine arrived at 2pm today. Great stuff from Smyths all round.

L'prof

At least I’m not the only one that hasn’t received their Smyth’s order. The majority seem to be sorted. Still happy enough if they deliver tomorrow since I thought it was a preorder on Saturday as opposed to actual stock

Hey folks, I am sorry to hear that HN is delaying their orders, but really happy about people who will have it from Smyth's.

I have managed to get PS5 through the LW and it says that it is dispatched, but it seems to be stuck:

28 January, 2021 20:20:01 Received at WEDNESBURY - Route YOD7840
28 January, 2021 20:20:00 Despatched from WEDNESBURY - Route YOD7840
28 January, 2021 10:31:40 Despatched from SUPPLIER
27 January, 2021 09:58:23 Order being processed at supplier

When do you think PS5 might actually be delivered in Dublin? Original delivery says that it is 2 March, 2021, but that does not sound right considering it is already on the way.

Couple of people on Twitch saying they are getting a delivery today. My Tracking is the same as yours just about 3 minutes later. Apparently you'll get a text from Littlewoods on the day of delivery.

That's good news, i wonder whether folks on twitch have same entries on little woods website or they are luckier then us.

EDIT: i just got an update - it is with fastway dublin now.
