    Mine arrived today in impeccable condition. Although Amazon barely packed the box with any paper. This controller is insane.

    Just got mine from HN via DPD! Perfect condition.

    If you get it from HN you will definitely know if someone tried to open it. Hats off to them, they packed it and taped it well to make sure no one got at it.

    Phew....... can’t believe it but Amazon order via UPS arrived (6 days after dispatch!)

    The box/seal was open though but seems intact

    Just got mine from tesco. Was handy enough collecting it from the store but forgot to inquire about getting the 7 euro delivery charge back since I had to collect it myself. Did anyone else get the money back?

    Have the same problem. Had someone collect mine for me and noticed the 7 charged on top for delivery.

    PS5 Pre Order Thread...

    But not aware of anyone reporting that. You could check with Smyths as they've surely paid DPD for quicker delivery and might need to see if it's gone wrong. .

    Is it the outer box? That seems to be open on all of them

    Just arrived now!!! I still haven't gotten a confirmation email, although I did get the congratulations email. I assume the confirmation email will come when they take payment tomorrow morning?

    I'm still waiting for a delivery update. Their tracking site is down all day and I can't get an answer from anyone.

    Picked up in Tesco this morning, mild moment of panic when my name was not on a list but after a call to the warehouse they had it ready in the back. Always liked Tesco.

    The guy in tesco liffey valley this morning i overheard saying the delivery charge will be refunded, guessing it will come in the next few days.

    I've an option for a Tesco reload able card from work (small 4% discount).

    Worthwhile asking when I collect if I can change my payment method or else do a return and repurchase with the card?

    I suspect this may work like the Tesco ClubCard. Bring your receipt and card to customer services to see can you get the value added. They won’t allow return/repurchase I don’t think but loading the card after the fact might work.

    I have one for collection this evening from Tesco. I got confirmation email and text yesterday telling me to come collect. I just checked my tesco account and it says the order has been collected! :eek:

    I don't really want to spend the morning onto their customer service - did anyone else see this as well or should I be worried?

    This is normal, as reported by others just a few posts back.

    Just wanted to say thank you to the Poster who shared the Tesco link last week. I collected one today and that's Santa sorted for a nephew. Staff in Tesco told me that all staff orders were cancelled to give as many consoles as possible to customers only. The particular store I collected from were allocated 9 and I was the last person to collect.

    The wait for me continues though as I have a preorder with GameStop for a child in my house. I got the first email to say I wasn't included in launch allocation but no other emails (no 27 December or 2021 email) and I can't use the order status checker on GameStop website because it was an in-store transaction.

    To check your order status on the GameStop website (I see loads of people asking this), make sure you have your order number handy. Make sure you are logged out of the website. Scroll to the bottom of the homepage and there is an order status checker there. If anybody hears anything about second wave allocation to GameStop customers an update would be very welcome. Cheers.

    I phoned DPD this morning with my tracking number and said they would do a track & trace on my parcel. ****. Has this happened to anyone else? Hope they can find it and send it on to me.

    My Amazon purchase from last week arrived today. I had no option to send to Ireland directly, so had to use Parcel Wizard, and was getting a bit nervous as they had received it last Saturday and still no sign.

    Box was in perfect condition, opened it up to check everything was there before putting it away for the kids for Xmas. To be honest I was shocked at how shoddy the packaging is on the PS5 compared to the Series X. Night and day difference with the unboxing experience.....not that the kids will be bothered by that!

    The outer box is obviously quite flimsy but I thought the inner one was sturdy enough. Tbh I thought the XSX packaging was excessive.

    I don't mean just the quality of the packaging. The entire experience of the PS5 feels like a bunch of things thrown in a box, compared to the Series X where you open out the lid and it's sitting there in the middle for easy access.

    As I say, the kids won't care. I'm just happy my box is in perfect condition after some of the stories I've seen on here.
