This morning half an hour after it was dispatched the delivery updated to by 9pm tomorrow.

Thanks Dan my last update was:

3:06 AM
Delivery appointment scheduled IE

But still says delivery 21st-24th maybe it will update to 19th later today.

Hoping so as I booked tomorrow and Friday off as I had a ton of holidays left.

Hrm I got a text from some UPS thing saying I've to pay a customs charge on my order, but amazon haven't even said it's shipped yet.

Surely BS and a scam?

Doesn't seem legit. There would be a customs charge if it was coming in next year. But not now

I have gotten a couple of phishing mails before along those lines

Yeah I'm guessing they timed it knowing a lot of people have the PS5 coming from the UK.

No post again today. Probably not getting Miles Morales in time.

My wife's Digital Edition PS5 has been dispatched by amazon - delivery Friday

My disk edition hasn't been dispatched yet.....I ordered mine first - this is not fair

Didn’t notice I got this email from Smyths this morning.

Good experience with them throughout this, really looking forward to 8am tomorrow, woo!

Smyths certainly seem to be leaving this handover to DPD quite tight

its a bit worrying alright, I doubt everyone will get theirs tomorrow, particularly those in rural areas. Hopefully everyone will have their console by Friday and delays in delivery don't run into next week.

If I don't get my PS5 tomorrow will that affect the world tendency in Demon's Souls?

Got my dispatch email but it's looking like Friday or Saturday delivery.

Not a fan of the courier service they're using. I think it's gonna be a long couple of days...

payment pending on amazon, should I be worried or be fine? Rang bank this morning to say I authorise the payment

Yeah it seems to be cutting it tight, I get a package each month sent from Galway to Dublin and it's picked up by DPD in the afternoon, about 1 in 4 don't get delivered to me the next day so guessing it's similar the opposite direction

Famitsu are reporting only 118K units sold in Japan in 4 days. For comparison PS4 sold 322K in it's opening weekend.

This is almost certainly a supply issue, there is huge demand. Whether this is isolated to the Japanese market or not I don't know. If it's the same picture elsewhere (less than half the supply of PS4) that will be a disaster. It will mean shortages will continue well into next year. PS4 was pretty easy to get once we got into Jan / Feb of 2014.

looks like the digital editions on Amazon have shipped and the disc versions are still preparing for dispatch! Weird

I was remaining relative zen and calm about it most of the week but I'm starting to get worried about delivery now. Would have expected DPD site to have updated overnight and even for some people to start getting deliveries this evening but no updates is a bit off-putting. I've no time booked off thankfully so at least I'm not sitting here hitting F5 all day but if it gets to 4pm tomorrow and no sign of it I'll be raging.

Its hard to have much confidence in DPD in my area, have had nothing but bad experiences with them even though I suspect that's down to the driver rather than the company. Fingers crossed for everyone on here anyway.

It’s annoying that they stayed so steadfast (bar the few exceptions) to the street date when delivery across the country is in a shambles due to too much demand and a lockdown. They should’ve been delivering from Monday onward

Sure, it would have been a lovely luxury to get it before the launch day but at least give them a chance to deliver on launch day before saying they're late delivering

even if they handed them over first thing this morning would have been something but they are still all in the hands of Smyths right now. If they don't dispatch till after close of business tonight it's going to be mental getting them all delivered by tomorrow afternoon. Im in a fairly rural area and DPD usually delivers between 12 and 4 and never after that so they really are leaving this very tight indeed.

Is there a chance they've handed them over and it just hasn't updated yet?

My hand hurts from clutching these straws.

I expect this thread to blow up after 9pm as stores close, mostly, at 9pm.

Otherwise if they took money and sent collection emails even at 8pm you'd have people legging it to the stores.

Checked my credit card, nothing there. I'm not worried. :o:o:o:o *secretely worried anyway

It’s more than likely going to be fine for people in or near cities, but rural people could see their deliveries delayed.

Sure I’m in south county Dublin and any DPD delivery I’ve gotten has been very late in the day.

But you’re right, hopefully I’m just jumping the gun and it goes smoothly.

Money taken last night for amazon, I have the tracking number too.

I notice on the DPD I got said the sender data was received at 19:05. I wonder if that means the Packages will be collected at a similar time to a warehouse overnight then sent out tomorrow.

Delivering to rural locations, unless up the side of a mountain with no eircode, is much easier than city deliveries. If cities deliveries were just houses in estates then fine but there are people in apartments, with concierges(posh gits) but I've lived in both cities, towns and now a village(if only 2kms from the city limits of Limerick). I've asked drivers(who come to me) and they all much prefer the non city routes.

They all said the same thing, if people have eircodes then they're happy. My guys also never have full vans either, said that their city fans were often full to the brim because they'd have a lot of commercial deliveries as well.

Absolutely. There's a misconception that updates occur immediately when the status changes. Given the severe load on An Post and couriers, they're not updating statuses until later in the day sometimes as its not a priority over actually moving the packages.

I've had packages from An Post and DHL in the last three weeks where I've received the item and it's still either completed sorting in the post office or loaded for delivery four or five hours later.
