The 'I've successfully ordered a PS5' thread

BrentMused · 16-11-2020 08:32PM

For those who have pre-ordered with click and collect for Smyths, don’t worry about not having had any money taken or no further correspondence etc.

Smyths will charge for click and collect orders around 9pm the night before release (so Wednesday in this case) and you’ll get an email with your barcode almost immediately afterwards.

I ordered a couple of PS5 games and accessories with different delivery dates off them over the last couple of weeks for click and collect and they all followed the above process.

The collection process was very straightforward. Queue up and a staff member came out and scanned the barcode from the email on my phone, then went and got the items and brought them out to me. Receipts are automatically emailed a few minutes later.

3-5 minutes in total maximum each time between leaving my car and being back in my car with my item(s).

Cheers for the update, hopefully it’s that quick on Thursday morning. I would be home by 8.15 if that’s the case

It will be longer than that for sure, everyone would be lining up to get their consoles first thing

Probably, but I’m hoping at 8am it might be ok.

Amazon UK charging people in UK and sending emails that they will get theirs release day, a day after they emailed everyone to say they can change theirs from Parcel Motel to an Irish address. Good way to show a finger to the Irish customers.

I ordered a controller charging dock + PULSE 3D headset from Currys UK - only the charging dock has turned up.
Miles Morales has been MIA with PM since November 12th
Updated my Amazon pre-order to use my home address as I don't trust PM with it.

Going to be lucky if it all shows up before the end of the week

Parcel Motel is a nightmare at the moment

Paul MCM · 16-11-2020 09:12PM

I think it’s all postal services at the moment. I hope everyone gets the PS5 on Thursday. Some disasters on the XBox thread about delivery times.

I wouldn't say successfully getting a pre order in a store minutes from my house is messing up. I think its a win win for me. I get a PS5 after 8am when some people are still hoping and praying for a console before 2021.

Also the option presented that actually worked was store. No way I was pressing backspace. No way Jose!

haha wonder if they want to supply as many as they can to the UK first.

Sent an email to us to get us to change with a delivery date of the 21-24th knowing they have more stock available on the 19th and we'll get ours from that stock.

Or not :pac:

Still **** anyway.

Looks like that. Maybe they didnt have enough to fulfill both UK and here for release day so got people to change to Ireland so they have time to get more stock.

dave1982 · 16-11-2020 09:29PM

That's a balls. Why would they want to change delivery to Ireland only to suit them? Unless they worried bout lost damaged in parcel motel

Some Dublin and Galway orders delivered by DPD from Smyths already

Love how they use Dairygold to prove they are in Ireland.

I was thinking the same, you can buy it outside Ireland

shrewdness · 16-11-2020 09:39PM

I'm getting greedy now wanting DPD to deliver early after seeing some of these! But tbh I'll just be happy if it's here by launch day, especially considering all that's going on. Any earlier is a bonus, but I wouldn't be expecting much as the tracker hasn't updated since last night.

.G. · 16-11-2020 09:41PM

Some retailers this side of the Atlantic saying they'll have some stock on release day. Hopefully there's plenty more coming and the scalpers get shafted.

Madman08 · 16-11-2020 09:44PM

Mmm, not overly convinced that Gamestop will get the console delivered by Thursday... They haven't taken the payment yet.

I can see myself sitting on the porch in the rain at 6pm on thursday evening telling the kids I'm not crying, it's just the rain on my face...

Yeah hopefully. Game UK, Amazon UK , Currys Uk, Very UK and Argos UK will all have more stock release day.

Ireland wise looks like Harvey Norman and Currys may have some more.

Also good chance that the Amazon EU sites get some also, they ship direct to Ireland also.

Its fcukin very poor from Gamestop. They said in the order confirmation email:

"Important: Please note that for pre-orders purchased via MasterCard, VISA or PayPal we now take payment 5 days prior to shipping so, please ensure you have funds available in advance of the release of the game."

Here we are, virtually 3 days out, and no payment taken. Ridiculous.

Gamestop payments were taken Friday night.

Not for everyone. Payment has been pending in my account since last Thursday. I prebooked in January and am confirmed in the launch allocation.

I live in an apartment at the moment and packages get delivered to the concierge that don't allow pick up til 2pm. As much as I'll be jealous of those who get it before Thursday, no way was I leaving the PlayStation sit there for half the day.

Amazon's new couriers have also been abysmal here, leaving amazon packages in the common area postbox rooms against the wall. Madness.

So was a recipe for disaster for me had I ordered for home delivery.

Roll on Thursday!

It's not. She'd be good looking for a typical Michael. :pac:

I received this text message from gamestop "Hi, this is a friendly reminder to check your email inbox. We sent you a voucher towards your PS5 order, but we noticed you have not used it yet."
But I have not received any email.
Has anybody else received this?
