The 'I've successfully ordered a PS5' thread

Zookey123

I see the PS5 selling for up to 2 grand on eBay. I guess if you have the money to throw away. People taking advantage of the desperate though are the worst.

Are you sure it's the ps5 ?

I’m presuming it is as I didn’t order anything else with them

Got an email response from Gamestop as I can't use the order checker because I placed my preorder in store. There's nothing new in it but it might be helpful to some.

Yeah I got the same

Ok do report back when you collect it whether it was the ps or not.

Anyone any hassle with HN that selected Delivery instead of Collect?

Update on address pal , they didn’t charge my card so that had me worrying too as well as no updates. Then ten minutes ago received a text saying my order was in the local post office for collection even though I choose home delivery , but I’m not complaining at least it’s here. Thanks for all the help throughout the journey and it was some journey !

Are you sure you chose home delivery? Home delivery and post office collection are different addresses that you send to, so it can be easy to mix them up. I suspected you had post office collection, as that's the method that is always really slow with no updates along the way.

In any case, glad you got sorted.

I initially had delivery (and paid for the same) but called them and they allowed me to pick it up (Tallaght store). I then sent an email after to see if I could get the delivery charge refunded and out of nowhere I get a PayPal message saying they refunded it.....well impressed with them overall.

People selling "photos" of the PS5 on ebay too and people buying them for way over RRP of the console not realising.

They sent confirmation email and order received email around 9.45 last Thursday morning and then around 8 hours later they said unsuccessful but sure by that time everywhere else was sold out, I wouldn't of stopped looking if I had of known so now on the hunt coming up to Christmas. I've read that a few people never received the congratulations email but still got there device so id say you'll be fine tomorrow. Hopefully I'm lucky in the next few days.

Yes very iffy, domain only created a month ago, also making believe they have stock when no others have it.

Relax lads

Any updates guys? My tracking status hasnt changed since midday monday (still at heathrow transit hub).

@braniac who ordered from currys and addresspal along with us his package was in ireland day before yesterday. I am getting worried now

Update on my DID order. Made a public tweet yesterday morning hoping for some solid information. Got a reply asking for order # and that they would have it ready asap. By 5PM I had a DM on my twitter saying it's ready for collection! I think it was just sitting in storage in the shop since Monday/Wednesday and they hadn't got to it yet. A bit ridiculous that I was waiting 8 days with no tracking updates & multiple contacts to support for info and still had to resort to twitter to get it resolved. I'm just happy it's sorted now. Will edit this post later when I have it in my hands!

UPDATE: I just collected it from Malahide branch, needed ID and invoice. Very easy process, PS5 in perfect condition. Best of luck to everyone still waiting on theirs!

Just picked up the console from Tesco. Very painless experience - just asked for ID and then went and got it. Massive thanks to the person here who flagged that Tesco had stock - you've made someone's Christmas!!

Arrived from Cork yesterday

Hi guys,

I'm living in the UK and ordered a console from Very for my brother as he couldn't get one on release day. I thought I could just send it by post office but I have just found out they don't take packages that big to Ireland.

Anyone any suggestions for a cheap enough way to get it from UK to Ireland? DPD is coming up at over 50 pound. I don't have it yet its being sent to Yodel the carrier and I should have received it by Monday.

Thanks.

Hi guys new here, I was just wondering would anyone be able to tell me roughly when I should be expecting mine. I made the order in GameStop on the 16th September but can’t/unsure how to track it based from receipt thanks !

Your brother signs up for a PM account. He will receive a UK delivery address when this is done. Change the address on your order to this PM address. The PS5 will be sent to the UK address in Antrim, and will then be forwarded to a Parcel Motel locker in Ireland for collection.

Should be a straightforward process and will cost about €4. Only potential drama is if Very have a problem with PM addresses, but it should be fine.

Mine did arrive today Guys, so they're coming. As I said to koolkunz yesterday in PM, they can be pretty slow but it always does arrive.

On the negative side, Currys packaged it in a plastic bag. The box was a little battered, but the console seems fine. Ye should all get it next week so just hold out

You can't use that site tracker if you made the order instore unfortunately. I'm in the same boat. Nobody really knows when to expect them. We're all kind of hoping that the expected December restocks extend to GS as well, and that they fulfill outstanding preorders out of that.
