    Mine is with UPS, and still sitting at "Label created". Kinda feeling like this is just not meant to be. ordered two things for launch this year, normally I don't have the time/capital to do so and the first took almost a week to arrive after launch (different crowd though) and now this :(

    Hi guys, got a question, I ordered ps5 in tesco yesterday and I got confirmation and congratulation email. Problem is that I ordered it for delivery but in the email they said they are doing only collection and that my collection point is in another county, 60km from my location (almost impossible for me to collect it there). Do you guys know if it is possible to get it delivered to my local tesco so I can collect it ? (Normal tesco not express or anything)

    Have to say, fair play to Parcel Motel. My PS5 was sitting in the depot in NI only about an hour & then it was on the road down to Dublin. Had it ready to collect before 4pm on release day which I wasn't expecting. Normally once something is received in NI, I'd have it the next day. They must have had a plan to deal with the consoles and get them out as quickly as possible.

    Difficult one to be fair. What I suggest is that I will collect it for you, I'll pay the €499, I'll bring it to you and you can give me €499.

    All you need to do is PM me the details, where and when with the codes. :pac:

    So, regarding Gamestop:

    Did anyone who ordered one for delivery get one yet?

    Did anyone who ordered collect get one yet?

    My order from GameStop was finally dispatched yesterday, I'd ordered online the night pre-orders went live. It's out for delivery today with DPD.
    Also, just on this: Remember, this situation is with Gamestop company. Not the workers in the shop's fault. Please remember that when dealing with them. They are probably getting it in the neck from everyone. Like many people, they are concerned about jobs and everything else about now. They don't need people screaming into their faces about a game console.

    Totally agree with you about that it's not the shop workers fault, I've always had a pretty good relationship with the ones in my local store, so really hope people don't take out their frustrations on them when they re-open next month.

    A good portion of all the frustrations surrounding their orders could have been avoided if they were transparent around their delays from the start - good communication is key. Cynically I noticed that their 'apologies for the delays' tweet only went out when reporters started sniffing round...

    If you want to blame anyone, blame corporate/management. I had actually thought about putting in a complaint to CCPC about the whole thing.

    Oh absolutely. Corporate-wise they deserve a hammering. The lack of communication is damning. They clearly oversubscribed their launch allocation (As we knew way back in July/August). They obviously haven't got enough stock to even process the orders they defined as "launch". But this is not the fault of the person working in the shop for not much more than minimum wage. That's all I'm saying. Company-wise is was a (Predicted) shambolic cash-grab.

    That was mine yesterday. I'm sure to get mine by end of day today according to the tracker. You might get it this evening or tomorrow by the latest I'd say. Fingers crossed for ya !!

    Pre-ordered in store in July. My local store is closed during lockdown so got the launch allocation notice and voucher sent to my email.


    I got the ups notification Wednesday and then it arrived yesterday afternoon.
    The UPS tracking was fairly slow to update even though the package was moving so I'm hoping the other orders here are in a depot but it just hasn't updated yet.

    Between Smyths screwing me over multiple times on the pre order and Tesco screwing me over yesterday, today is depressing. I also had the PS4 shut down last week from overheating. I don’t think it’s going to survive Christmas.

    Cheers!

    I think I realised my problem now. When I got the voucher to actually buy the PS5, it was worth 550. I tried to get it sorted with support but just ended up spending the extra money in the end, but as a result, I didn't submit my order until a day after I got the voucher. Probably shot myself in the foot there

    Just been on a chat with AnPost

    Today is Friday

    So the retailer should of advised you that mail is taking at least a minimum of 3 working days at the moment. It is in Cork awaiting processing there so should be with you in the next 1-2 days. There are doing deliveries on Saturdays also.

    To the question of any luck today:
    “No does not look likely for today.”

    Saturday or Monday at best.
    This is AnPost screwup and lack of management and prevision.
    How the hell is not in the news that AnPost ETA from Dublin to Cork is a minimum of 3 working days?
    What a disgrace.

    I hope the management of AnPost get their fat bonuses checks up their arses this Xmas.

    Kudos to the person @ the chat.

    Seems Harvey Norman are having tech issues this morning in checking online orders - just an FYI if you're wondering/worried about a PS5 order with them, haven't got a call yet etc. This issue might be holding up processing.

    Mine hit Parcel Motel yesterday at 15.13 and is estimated to arrive at my house at 15.45 today.

    Can’t say fairer than that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,072 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger


    Mine just arrived from Amazon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,130 ✭✭✭ussjtrunks

    Where are you get an estimated delivery time from? My mates says Van Outbound Package since 7am

    So I called Tesco and they said they can't do anything... value of the item is too high to transfer it to my local Tesco and they also can't deliver for the same reason... Funny how they tell you to disregard lockdown restrictions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 689 ✭✭✭rm212


    I got mine from Smyths/DPD yesterday no problem but my brother’s tracking didn’t update at all yesterday and still hasn’t been scanned on a van for delivery today yet, he’s getting a bit worried about it being stolen or whatever (he’s only 18 but calmer than I’d be if mine didn’t arrive yesterday!).

    Anyone else in the same boat as him? It has the travelling through DPD network status since Wednesday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,128 ✭✭✭thorbarry


    Mine just arrived from Amazon

    Where are u based if u don't mind me asking? Wondering why mine hasn't even dispatched yet

    Go to the Nightline site and put in the tracking number.
    That gives the arrival estimate, Parcel Motel still only has van outbound on mine as well.
