    No they haven't. Argos are getting more along with Currys and a few others. They have no idea of numbers yet.

    Argos are getting more? How? They didnt have any to start with.

    They wont be. This has been confirmed by multiple managers.

    Definition of work

    "activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result."

    He used his mental equity to know that pre ordering would be required to get one and physically placed the order. So he did the work. What part of work do you not understand.

    With regards to the fleeced part. Nobody has the right to tell someone what price they can or cannot sell something for. As for the morality part. Nobody is being force to by them.

    Hahaha

    I worked in Argos the Christmas that the Wii was released and our manager genuinely didn't know if we were getting stock or not. The DS was also extremely sought after that year probably because people were expecting Wii shortages too but we couldn't confirm that we were getting any consoles in or not.

    But we got deliveries twice a day and the first we'd know about the consoles coming in was when the little machine started going crazy printing out all the reservation stickers for the electronics.

    We generally knew when everything was coming in apart from consoles or the really highly sought after toys that there was a shortage of, they would just arrive on the delivery truck and normally be reserved the second they arrived.

    Can people who've been charged confirm that their console is for delivery?

    Mine is collection and I haven't been charged. I'd imagine they're queuing up the deliveries first

    There is no payment details listed under the tab on the website, it seems like it's tied to the pre order and not the account.

    Could be goosed here.
    The only thing on my account is the preorder but maybe you didnt set uo an account and checked out as a guest? Id drop customer services a line, i find then good and there has to be a way around it. Good luck!

    I just came back here after 5 days and there’s an extra 50 pages.

    Does anyone have any recommendations of what sites to try on launch day?

    I already have paid game stop €50 which I assume was a waste of money.

    Again it’s for a friend for his kids for Santa.

    Store managers have no idea what stock is coming their way so it is pointless asking them. There may be none in Argos Ireland but this will depend on how many are available. There will definitely be some in Argos UK. They won't know until early next week.

    I just want the reassurance that there’s no issues cos I changed payment details on the delivery order, I’m sure they won’t be. Also hoping to see DPD or UPS delivering. They’re usually good for my area

    Store managers and Argos Ireland have no idea of stock as of now because the UK won't receive allocation numbers until early next week. It's not hard to follow.

    Stop taking about something you have no idea about.

    On advice here the other day I told my mate to try changing his Amazon PS5 order to his Irish address but he got an error. That was on Thursday. He messaged me there saying he tried again this morning and it worked. In the picture it says "New delivery speed is standard delivery" and the estimated delivery says Nov 21st now instead of the 19th.

    So if anyone else wanted to change to their Irish address it seems to work now but it might take a few days longer to receive.

    He's happy enough with a few days delay and getting direct delivery. I sort of scared him telling him of my experience with expensive parcels falling off the back of the Parcel Motel trucks :pac:

    Lad your the only one saying that they will have stock. Multiple people on this thread have said that there is no stock. Managers would obviously have a fair idea at this stage id imagine

    Sorry to keep going on about this.

    Revolut payment failed this morning, brother cant access the email with the link to change the payment details. Does anyone know if I top up my Revolut will it automatically try this card again? Or only when we change payment details through the link?
