The 'I've successfully ordered a PS5' thread

What time did ye get the third email?I got my third email at 20:00 on the 3rd. Paid quickly after. Nothing dispatched just yet.

The delay is a bit of a balls but at least we were lucky enough to get them.

Picked up mine in argos, thanks to those on the threads

Had you gotten a text. And was today ur collection..Massive congrats to you

Hey thanks.


So got those in similar position. I was lucky to secure one the time they dropped on argos.

My date to collect was 5th to 7th.

I hád a reservation email. I got one text telling me they (argos will text me again when in stock)

I went today put my reservation code in. Paid at machine and collected!.

What I would say is, go to the machines not the till. Always a chance staff may tell you not there, whereas the machine you just pay.

Best of luck to all.

Ever since a staff member tried to trick me into giving up a dyson a few years ago, she wanted, I don't trust them. Sorry to other staff but where possible I'll always use the kiosk to avoid any interaction with them.

I helped 3 people get an Argos code, two have collected them and one just began his 90 mins journey.

Usual rules apply folks if you want somebody to say no then you've to ask them. To avoid being told no stop ringing the managers and customer service. Simple as that.

Be glad it's moved m8. And not lost. Just Monday to wait. Nearly there dude

Yes that's true. At least no financial loss for me.

Monday is too late for me as I said my sister leaves Ireland tomorrow so she won't be able to bring it to me. And she only comes to visit me once a year and the PS5 has not yet even received a release date in my country (India), This was my one hope of getting it this year. Now will have to wait till March/April 2021..

I got the text early this morning(come and collect), after 7am or so and handed it over to the boardsie who then drove to Killarney. He has just sent me a picture of the PS5 in his boot.

Shame that Argos has been forced, by customers, to turn off its own reservation system for the console. This could have been great for everybody.

Got an email a few days ago from Amazon saying they have found a replacement for my launch day PS5 that went AWOL in the post. I got a refund for that, but they have taken payment today for the replacement.

Fingers crossed this one finally arrives in the next week or two. Its been a frustrating few weeks to say the least.

Anyone else on ShopTo get an order cancelled for shipping to Parcel Motel?! I have not change to mine and have an email to say my stock is in warehouse and is waiting for dispatch? The shipping has my PM number on it, maybe they will realise this at dispatch and cancel?

They weren't forced by customers. Their reservation system is broken. They shouldn't have allowed the option to order them in, it should have just been the normal way of reserving stock that is physically in store already.

This is not the first time they've used this reservation bit for stock they know, within their automatic system, that is on the way to a store. I've done with a kettle before. The reason that it was considered broken was because many people going into stores trying to pick stuff up and then complaining to customer service. Likely somebody higher up realised that their lines are being overrun by questions about "where is my code?" that they just pressed a kill switch on it.

People do the same when there is a glitch. Some people get it, tell others and then a minority ruin it by phoning up a store asking "is that price real?" and suddenly it is gone.

Like it literally tells you when you click "reserve" that the following items were NOT ordered and then says out of stock. People chose not to read this and said "but I got an email". The screen said NOT ordered.

Are Tesco still ringing people this morning? I got a confirmation email at 9.40 and the voucher

If they are, unfortunately you're well down the queue man. My confirm was 9.36 and I didn't get a call.

If anyone has a preorder argos code for anywhere south of Ireland, if be very grateful 😊

I just got a mail saying my Harvey Norman order is delayed by 10 days.

This will give me anxiety. I thought I was sorted. I have one ordered for a friend who isn't great with technology. If this gets delayed I don't know how I will tell them if there is a delay.
