    Last time I had a order from Smyths, it took 2 days from that message before DPD picked it up and another 2 days before they delivered.

    Mod note: Enough of the bickering, please.

    And it goes without saying to please not go around insulting or taunting those who didn’t get pre-orders.

    It's not so much bickering and more so getting fed up with am obvious scalper, who is also the one doing the taunting of people without preorders

    I'm noticing alot of ps5s on ebay are being relisted. Either people trolling with bids or people are smart enough not to pay way above RRP

    Lol I am a scalper, I have helped more people on here in last week getting an Xbox so if I was a scalper I would have not given them to 6 people on here. I am done with you.

    Sorry Mods but unfortunately some people love to continue their rant and their imaginary stories.

    I can't speak for consoles but every single game I have ordered from them (except for Demon's Souls) has arrived a day early

    Did they deliver the games via courier? I actually got Demon's Souls a day early but it was sent by An Post

    Regarding Smyths deliveries, I would be very surprised if we got them before Thursday but I'd be happy to be proven wrong!
    Smyth said in a email there courier partners would get the ps5 a day earlier so Wednesday should be delivered Thursday the lates Friday.

    With Adverts and Donedeal not allowing them , all will be going on Ebay. They will get too much hassle on Ebay and end up being stuck with them or selling for retail hopefully.

    Ebay have fees etc and then too many fake accounts messing about so those scalpers will have to deal with a lot of crap.

    Some Smyhts games went with DPD, UPS and others with An Post. My Smyths game came with An Post(not signed but Express) and the accessories came with An Post(but signed). Frankly thats nearly the same thing because they are both express and nobody signs for stuff anymore. :P

    In my case, as my postman is also in a van, he's basically a courier and in November and December, working 6/7 days(incl the last bank holiday) then far more reliable.

    Couriers are all over the place at the moment so good chance it could be delivered to some earlier. No chance for the click and collect orders.

    It all depends on when Smyths actually give the couriers the consoles, they have said in their previous emails it would be Wednesday which would mean delivery on Thurs or Friday but there's a chance they might hand them over before that. No sign they have handed them over yet though

    Thing about eBay is that as a seller you can decide to not accept bids from newly joined people, or low scores, can put on a second chance offer as well and can claim back selling fees if not repaid.

    The thing about eBay and these popular items is people will join and bid in panic and then decide not to pay. They don't read the T&Cs and don't care about unpaid reports.

    Yeah that's what I'm hoping for for. I've seen one fella with 4 for sale starting price 699 GBP. I honestly wouldn't mind paying 100 more for peace of mind of getting one for Christmas day but anything more no way

    One of the lads I mentioned in my last post has his console out with UPS, currently in Sligo en route to Donegal. Odd thing is he has his UPS tracking link which says its going to be with him tonight, and another from DPD giving the "order data received message".

    Amazon always give a buffer. Amazon said this item would arrive on the 12th November, it arrived on the 10th November so if they use their own Courier, UPS or DPD(DPD was used twice recently by Amazon UK for me)

    Thanks for that Dan, hopefully some of us will be able to grab one. I know Box.co.uk's "wave 2" will end up being like wave 10 for me with the way they've handled things!

    Does anyone know how reserving with Argos works? Do you pay for the item when you reserve it or when you pick it up? Ie, if I want to reserve something for my friend do I need his card details when I place the reservation

    You pay in the store when collecting the item. However, it seems Argos won't be getting any PS5 consoles in. Best ring your local store to confirm.

    Yep, mine was the same. Once it goes through you then get to watch it for another couple of days stressing as to why it isn't moving on from "order data received"!!

    Legitimately more stressed out by the PS5 launch than I was when my missus gave me a ring 3 years ago to tell me she had gone into labour early (joking...kinda)

    It's telling people 21-24th for delivery when you updated from a PM address to an Irish address.

    Not sure whether to change it or not. I'd rather have it Friday, than risk not having it for the weekend at all.

    PM got my headset from NI to Dublin in the usual timeframe (received on Thursday in NI, ready to be collected at PM locker on Friday morning).

    The PS5 is oversized though, not sure how much extra time that will add...

    ordered Spiderman and Demon Souls on Friday afternoon with Smyths, got email from DPD they will be arriving with the delivery this afternoon!

    I ordered Assassin's Creed Valhalla last week with Smyths and it arrived 2 days later by DPD as well. I haven't seen Smyths use An Post for deliveries in quite a while.

    Twice for me. Valhalla came Express no signature. Accessories came Express with Signature. Not that a signature is required anyway.

    For me with An Post they are 6 days a week and somebody mentioned here they've been out on a Sunday. I did get a delivery from An Post on the last bank holiday as well. So for me they're better than others couriers as they're out more often.

    So my assassin's creed order from gamestop was deployed with UPS on thursday evening. arrived there a few mins ago. so 3 working days (if you include saturday). which if my maths is correct, means the PS5 should deploy this evening to get here for thursday. PLEASE :D

    In contrast to that I ordered Valhalla on the 11th, shipped with An Post and it arrived on the 12th(order page suggested the 17th as an arrival date). Accessories went with An Post(ordered 8hr earlier on the 11th than Valhalla) arrived on the 14th(website said the 16th would be when they arrived).

    So I would says Smyths web ordering system is not accounting for An Post working weekends either so dates pushed forward as buffer.

    I only just found this thread - it looks like more orders opened on the weekend, and I missed them?

    Am I goosed so - unlikely to be more stock this week I'm guessing?

    I've had every playstation except ps3, and I'm mad to get the PS5. I know there might be a pro version in 18 months, or at least a slightly improved model, but with the lockdown it would be great to have for Christmas. Any suggestions on what else I can do - barring getting scalped. I saw posts about €800e+ on adverts.ie, I refuse to give them the satisfaction!

    Interesting that they used UPS. Hope they do that for the PS5 rather than using An Post
