Then explain how I got a package from Amazon yesterday that was sent Monday night, yet one that was posted a week ago is still sitting in Ballymount? and before you ask, yes it did go through Ballymount.

I noticed it arrived on Friday,including today that's 3 working days,not ideal but because of the vast amount posted at the same time and that they are bulky items they were probably put to the side so not to block all the other packets and parcels and they will do as many as will physically fit in the trucks as they can.The reason you get some Amazon packets next day is because some items are shipped from their warehouse in Dublin.Remember ,these console launches probably happens once every five years or so and now you have 2 at the same time,breaking all sorts of sales records,an extra strain on an already very busy time.

So is there anyone like me who was strong enough to wait until January?

I wanted to see both consoles live, see what games are like and what consoles had problems. I havn't budged from my PS4 commitment. Will most likely go Amazon since I dont buy electronics locally. Figure Killzone bundle, already have a copy of Fifa 14 (thanks EA friends). Any other launch titles worth a punt?

bitch please

i got mine today

I went over to the dark side. Saw a Fifa Xbox One bundle in Dun Laoghaire and had it in the boot of my car within an hour. Voice activated Skype, Infrared for Universal Remote and future ability to use USB 3 Hard drive pushed me into it.

:D:D

Yes you are right ,this is the fourth day ,its been a long week and i have a 3 yr old to look after as well.If it was me an it was bothering me that much i would print off something with the tracking number and address ,bring some ID and proof of address and go down and demand they at least try to look for it,you could also go down the route of filling a missing item form,might force them to go look for it,they are available on the An Post website.

I assume you are referring to Knack, and if you played it or had more of an interest in the games that are being released for the console, you would know that it is far more than some childs game.

Knack PEGI rating is 12. However, on the box image on Amazon UK, it's 7. Hmmm...

Anyone know if the normal killzone bundle will fit into parcel motel lockers?

My ps4 is being prepared for dispatch. I was worried for a while that Amazon would leave me down.

Mine did aswel, it fit inside a medium sized locker. Just to think of it, you reminded me that Zavvi did not put any protection inside the parcel that carried my ps4 bundle :mad: Not even one bit of bubble wrap or anything... Cheap c*nts.

Does the Sony PlayStation 4 Gamer Pack from amazon not fit in the parcel lockers?
Have a month of free prime any point in using that? Should i look to delivery to a home address instead of parcel motel?

It looks to me as though the amazon gamer pack is the same as a mega bundle.
It will not fit into PM.

A little heads up if this hasn't been posted yet - gamestop are sending out emails to everyone where they tell you whether you will receive the ps4 before or after christmas. Unfortunately my one will only be in early January.. oh well, atleast I'll have it some day.

Contact them ASAP. They can't do much about a parcel if it's in the wind.

Did An Post deliver it? Mine is still being held hostage up in Ballymount since Friday 29th!

Yes, delivered yesterday morning (5th) at 0945. Big flat box for the mega bundle. THere was a big amazon box with the usual padding, then inside there was another cardboard box with security tape and then finally the actual ps4 box with FIFA wedged beside it.

Good stuff still no sign of mine been in Ballymount a full week now not happy wont have it for my weekend off

hallo dare

Print off the proof that it's there the full week, bring photo id with you and head to the sorting office. I'd also ring Head office and explain to them and ask that they ring ahead for you to let the sorting office know you're coming later.

Mine was marked as delivered two hours ago on the An Post tracking system but hasn't arrived yet. Has this happened to anyone else? Emailed on post customer service but not reply
