So, just waiting from an email from smyths but the whole thing is looking dodgy

There was a 2hr gap between money being taken and email being sent for me.
Might just take a while.

Bank said they can see the charge from smyths for 499, it was approved and money taken off the card but it mightn't show up on my online account yet.

I think they'd mail if you if there was a problem tbh so you're probably good. They're generally on the ball for failed payments as it's automated.

Got my texts, 2 Smyths preorders ready for collection tomorrow. Strange the text said they'll hold for 2 days but the last text said said they'll hold until 2nd December due to covid? Don't care, here we go!

Been great craic here the past few days, got feck all done at work today with refreshing my DPD link all day. Never doubted Smyths for on time delivery.

Looking forward to tomorrow now. The young fella keeps looking at the box for Miles Morales and asking if the postman is gonna be bringing us the new playstation to play it. I'm like a kid on Christmas eve tonight

My Son would really like a ps5 for Christmas after a recent fall he can no longer play the piano.

To be fair though he couldn't play one before either.

The collection messages tonight are generic, I’ve gotten the emails numerous times for different pre-orders, they’ve always said they’ll hold the item for two days.

I’m sticking with details we got last week ie stores opening at 8am and they’ll hold anything until Dec 2nd..... though really I’ll be cowering outside Smyths at 7:59 in the dark tomorrow morning

Still haven’t received email or text for collection getting worried now.

For those waiting on Smyths emails and texts, it wouldn't surprise me if they are staggering the collects in certain branches. Collect messages can go out anytime up to 3pm usually in a business day for same day collect, and given Smyths won't entertain anyone without a collection mail right now, they are probably trying to avoid a crush in the morning.
Most console launch mornings can be overwhelming, with most enthusiastic preorder customers availing of the hours not long after opening......nothing to stop them sending out messages for the afternoon period.
If someone was expecting a text for tomorrow, and its not there first thing in the morning, I'd advise them not to travel down to their branch.
