I've my pre order with Amazon, sending it to PM. PM recently lost my mates 500euro phone...

Just wondering can I get this instantly shipped to my home address straight away or do I have to wait to see if they can fit it in the lockers? Also is insurance easy to get?

Use Parcel Wizard instead, should be able to change delivery address

Lads, what's all the panic?

Do you really think any guard is going to turn you around if you say you're picking up something from a toy store a few weeks before Christmas? Not a hope!

Like everything depends on the guard you get most will be grand but you could get unlucky and get some asshole on the day that’s having none of it LOL

Is everyone using Parcel Wizard?

Just thinking the same never got in trouble at all with the law at all, But being relatively youngish always find any interaction with gardai at my age they are a bit harsher.

Example pre covid I was stopped for tax nct check etc. My nct was in date but had month left and that day I was going to get it done. The young garda leans ina nd goes "you know you only have a month on that I would get that sorted if I was you?" really condescending...

And then a few weeks later my parents were in the car and their NCT was gone a few months same story on the way to the NCT centre got stopped and he goes ah sure you're alright sure tis tough times? sure you are on the way there anyway? be grand g'wan.

No, they had on their website you can not change from click and collect to home delivery.
Not sure why they won’t

If I had so many customers to contact, wait for them to decide if they want to accept or change, convert their order and ask them to pay for shipping then it would be a nightmare.

You can imagine some would have their emails head into Spam, wouldn't see or forget to action an email and then their order gets cancelled because they didn't pay up. Or then somebody has to manually contact the people who didn't action something.

This would be the same for not just PS5 orders but Xbox and frankly anything that somebody might have ordered that is either on back order or pre ordered. Imagine all the seperate orders for controllers, headsets, lego(some is pre order) etc etc

Just tell Garda they can come over and play Fifa on PS5 if they will waive the fine

I had the same issue, I am using Address Pal, tried to change to the DPD variant and they wouldn't let me change address

For my amazon delivery of my ps5 it let me change to my Irish address from my parcel wizard address about 2 weeks ago,

So not sure if that’s the case for everyone .... as I know you can’t pre order most ps5 games to a Irish address it needs to be to parcel wizard

I’d say because logistically they’ve done the orders with supplier and allocated to each store... home delivery is not from a store so they would have to go back and amend all of those now wanting home delivery and arrange those orders to go to the warehouse instead....it’s a logistics nightmare and I can’t see many people volunteering to pay for delivery so for high effort and either low or negative returns they’re just not going to do it

If you get a guard in a bad mood who is out at a check point on a cold miserable morning he probably would tell you to turn around.

For anyone that pre-ordered with GameStop for online.
I messaged them today about my pre-order (ordered the minute the GS Twitter Account posted the initial pre-order link)
and to see if they could provide me with an update on it.
I got a reply to say my PS5 will be in the first shipment of consoles. *touchwood

So they probably have a good idea of stock allocations for orders, at this stage.
I mentioned before in this thread, that anyone that wouldn't be receiving the console before Christmas. Should have been sent a email in late September, stating the fact.
Regarding the in-store pre-orders, they will contact us a week or two before release.

Thanks - I did the same as yourself but was hesitant about contacting GS given how crazy it is atm - seen my order had a shipment number so took that to mean it had been involved in some of the first wave at least.

I'll still keep my fingers crossed;) Although the Support guy did state "I can confirm your pre-order is in the first shipment".
Hopefully you'll be sorted too.
I also asked if it was ok to share his reply here and he got back to me straight
away and said it was fine. Didn't want to create an avalanche of people contacting them on the back of my post.

Is the Gorey one in a shopping center?

wexdevil

It is, but the list has been updated and now wexford town one is listed as open.

Kimbot

So if your local isnt doing click and collect can we ask them to have them delivered instead?

Ok I've amended it there now.

CastorTroy

So what happens if closed. Doesn't say. Just says about holding it for 2 days

Who did you message for this? I pre-ordered mine in store and emailed the support email just today and they told me that they couldn't tell me where I was positioned in the queue.

Yeah im still waiting to hear about mine, shops were taking preorders for over a year so if online was only when preorders started then I dont see how they can say they are going to be guaranteed one and not tell people who preordered in shops etc.

Kimbot

OK so I just rang my local gamestop again and I was told I will get a text or email when their head office decides whats happening. I think thats really poor in fairness.

Cmacc4

I've pre-ordered the new COD Black Ops for In Store collection to Tullamore, shop listed as a no for click and collect so I emailed Gamestop. They said they'll contact me a few days before the date of release. Be a disaster if the game cant be delivered and just sits there until level 5 is over.

I messaged support via their contact us web page. If you read my post I stated
he could only inform me on my Online Store order. They said they will contact the in-store successful launch day orders closer to release. It seems the in-store and online store are two different systems.

Well if someone that booked one online months after me ordering instore got one before me I would be fairly pissed.

Obviously anyone would be pissed. I guess we'll see in the next few weeks.
I also have in-store pre-orders for the PS5 and XBX SX, for a long time. But
I understand I'll have to wait to find out, closer to the release date. There's
not much else can be done.

Kremin

Now that Smyth's are holding things until December I think I'll cancel my new preorder of MM for home delivery to change it back to store collection as I won't have to make two trips again
