    I wouldn't take it that way at all. Email and ask. I didn't get a confirmation email, or a cancellation email. So I emailed them yesterday and they responded this morning saying its reserved for me.

    I think that if you are not getting it then it will be cancelled in your tesco account by now.

    Fair enough.

    How much extra does it cost for wallmart to ship to Ireland would u know? I'd nearly do it that way, and the ps5 would work with our connections?

    I asked this earlier in the thread, not sure I got a reply. 110 in the states and 220 here, the plugs are different so will you need to buy a new power lead? Also I'd be surprised if a parcel made it here before xmas. Not saying it wouldn't but I'd definitely be weary of that, and how much would it cost to ship it? Will the customs look for money when it gets here? I mean if it were gonna cost in the range of 500 to 600 to get it and you're not certain it'll be here before Xmas is it worth the hassle?

    Have a look at Address Pal lads. I *think* they have a USA address. That could be a good option. There's no chance you'd get away without paying customs on it but at least you'd get one. Regarding the power cable - could you just use a North America power adapter to start until you source a UK power cable?

    Sure it’s the same power cable that’s on your PS4 and the same one that’s been on the ps2 and 3 , address pal have a USA address and shipped for 15€ , regarding being here before Xmas im not sure , and customs should not have a issue as the console costs the same throughout the world


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31 luke.cannon


    So shipped here for 15 euro? wow I was thinking way more, and is that insured? That might be the way to do it then, cut out the hassle of refreshing pages for the next few weeks

    Word of warning: Customs will almost certainly be an issue if you’re importing a console. If you go that route, you could very well be hit with quite a substantial bill when it arrives in the country.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 110 ✭✭d9d


    I am seriously impressed with Adverts staff, they are taking down scalpers with impunity. 👍

    As far as I know, there will be a 21% tax payable on the console coming from the states.
    Whatever 21% of $500 is in € is payable.

    An Post fees will be steep enough but at least they give you a chance to prove what you paid before calculating fees. If its a courier it will be more. In current times maybe i'll get hassle for suggesting this but if someone I trust is travelling to Ireland from US they could take a ps5 with them. It will have to be unboxed at airport security and i'd avoid having it checked into the hold it could get damaged. Hand luggage if possible.

    Just found one available on amazon uk. Clocked to buy and the seller is charging over 1,100 for it. Ridiculous

    There's people on eBay selling the ps5 empty box for 60 sterling. why would anyone pay that much for the empty box?

    I wonder will they put stones into it or something heavy and then of course try to scam some poor innocent! There are scum out there who would do something like that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 209 ✭✭Saz2020


    Just beware of getting anything from US guys. Like if ye get one and it has anything faulty, yer stuck with that shop in US. Im sure ye already know this but just in case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,383 ✭✭✭olestoepoke


    So what's the plan? Wait for the heads up here on boards? Are any of the retailers giving any hint to when they will have stock? I'm not that desperate that I'm gonna keep refreshing pages all day. I feel that by the time any news makes ots way to this thread itll already be too late. Inside information would be nice, who do I have to bribe lol.

    I'm the same, I really want one but don't need one desperate for a Christmas present to the point I'm refreshing pages or checking websites because someone heard something from a friends friend. If I can get a link or heads-up from here I'll check it out. If I get one, I get one. If not, try again next time.
