The 'I've successfully ordered a PS5' thread

Anyone have any idea when Currys or Powercity will open orders online? Assuming they got stock that is!

I ordered digital version from GameStop. Still no dispatch email. Should I be worried that it won't be here tomorrow?

I still haven't gotten mine either, so you're fine. I would be shocked to receive it tomorrow though, I'd put my money on Friday with An Post delivering

Smyths DPD link still not updated since the 15th

Amazon now set to dispatched, I have a UPS tracking no but not appearing on UPS site yet

By the way I have no faith at all in UPS

oh man I just saw on the news that the Smyths right by your house has to close due to the lock down. All PS5's are stuck in there until December.

UPS can be decent but depends on where you are. They're typically always next day so if they pick up today you'll have it tomorrow.

For me, DPD are the worst of the bunch. They've ruined and lost so many packages on me that I can't even count anymore. Hoping all goes well with Smyths delivery. If they collect today we should be in business for delivery tomorrow with Smyths.

I've had a few DPD deliveries in the last while, for me they usually pick it up at 4pm or so for Next Day delivery.

DPD are fantastic these days, have faith.

I'm going to put a thought into your head



You will collect your PS5 in Smyths tomorrow, you will be thrilled and you will be walking across the car park in front of 50+ people all looking at you in anticipation of getting their own PS5.

You WILL drop it, yes you will. You will drop it right there in the middle of the car park and make sh*t of it.

I'm the opposite. I've never had an issue with DPD & have found them to be very reliable.

UPS on the other hand, I deal with them daily in work & they are an absolute nightmare.

Just had a DPD van pull up outside. Delivery for my sister :mad: Got my hopes up

I think it's probably just down to the drivers in whatever area, to be honest! My usual UPS guy is a legend so I was hoping I'd have mine ship with UPS from Smyths but I'm not going to complain either way, as long as my package arrives in one piece

I just had a delivery from Smyths (presents for Christmas) delivered by Fastway. Was sent last night so very quick. Was just a random guy in a car dropped it off though and the back of his car was rammed with other packages. No signature required.

Yup, have nothing but good things to say about them. The guy who covers my area is a legend and rings me around 5 mins in advance of him turning up outside my building.

Any sound man or woman have an idea if anywhere will be stocking any PS5s tomorrow? Argos been so quiet....

amazon said they will have some but you'll want to be fast as they are the only known place to say they have stock on launch day

Yup. Even their website says stock due in December under the product listing.

Just i.r.o An Post - I ordered Spiderman MM on Amazon. It came into the country at 1pm yesterday, and I had it at 9am this morning. So hopefully this will bode well for the PS5 coming from GS

Emailed Smyths this morning as I had noticed the payment was actually still flagged as pending on my bank account so wanted to make sure they had payment. They confirmed payment was sorted and that my order had been dispatched from their warehouse - still no update on the DPD side though.

Board Walker

My Colleague in the UK got double charged by game and he checked the order and he ordered 2 by mistake.

DPD collecting the extra one on Friday Morning

I wouldn't pay much heed to what Smyths say by email, they talk absolute shíte. I was trying to get my delivery address changed and at first I was told they can't because an post are legally required to attempt delivery to the first address provided. An post aren't even involved. Took about 6 emails before someone finally admitted they just don't have the resources to change the address.

Agreed, taking everything they say with a pinch of salt.
