Lol GAME are apparently changing peoples shipping options to random mixtures of Royal Mail (eh) and Yodel (holy gently caress no) regardless of what delivery you paid for.

Good news to anyone cruising eBay, gonna be a buyers market once all those Yodel packages go up.

Yodel is the worst delivery company in the UK. I had constant problems with them that if I found out they were delivering something then I would cancel it.
Once I was sat by the door to catch them out and they walked up to my letter box, pushed the "We missed you" letter through the door and walked away. I opened the door and asked what he was doing and he said he had missed me.

I stood there for a moment because it was just such a bizarre moment. Turns out my package was actually buried underneath a ton of others and he did not want to find it.

This seems like it should lead to someone being fired.

Chiming in to say that I also am waiting for my Walmart order to update. Living in a rural area and getting a direct delivery, didn't want to deal with any lines or the potential of the local Walmart accidently selling mine. I haven't picked out any launch games either, I am 95% a digital user but I just want to wait until I have console in hand. I am really excited to experience that controller for myself.

It should ship today since your card was charged. Depends on when in the day it was though.

I am also waiting on a Walmart order placed 9/16. It's not looking good since I got an email from them on Monday saying "Your item might be a day or two late",. and my card still hasn't been charged. On the plus side, my Fedex account has updated with a delivery from "Solutions2Go" that is supposed to be here tomorrow, and some quick googling indicates they're associated with Walmart and the PS5 rollout. However, it's been sitting at the "Shipping label printed" phase since 2pm yesterday with no updates.

At this point, I'm not optimistic it'll be here tomorrow.

Yeah. Originally I just did it for safety in case of any "we had to cancel your preorder shenanigans" and would have cancelled two of them but I did find friends who wanted them so I'm just selling them at cost. gently caress scalpers.

Keeping your consoles on their side has been the def advice since the ps2 days friend. Stay physical and horizontal baby.

Honestly it’s terrified me, they’re loving useless.

I’ve not had an update on my order but it sounds like it’s everyone, and the funniest part is it shows whatever you paid for delivery has gotten you “Free Yodel Next Day Delivery” so you’re also paying for the privilege of having your new console not turn up/turn up crushed/left outside in the rain/crushed and left outside in the rain.

My Target preorder says it's estimated to arrive November 18th. Does anyone else with a Target order say the same thing?

Six days after launch wouldn't be too bad, silver lining is that servers wouldn't be so strained and they'll probably have patched out some weird bugs by then.

But I'd rather have it asap as possible.

Mine says the same thing and the two games I pre-ordered at the same time now say backordered.

See I never got that e-mail about a delay, even though I also ordered back on that date. I actually got an e-mail about a month ago confirming I would get mine tomorrow (updating the delivery date). I was at ground zero when the preorders went live so I got in pretty early, hoping that means I locked in my spot. If they made you a shipping label though, you should be good. That wont update until the carrier scans with the pickup scan which will be later today, and assuming it goes with a one day delivery service level, it should go through the distribution center quicker than other packages. I'd feel better if I knew a shipping label existed on my package.
