@mandieq Did you get their mum’s maiden name too? Asking for a friend…

@DavidFountain99 @andrewkimmel You’re the Yang to Keanu’s Ying in this story.

@SimonCalder In fairness, they managed to find a slot after an hour on the tarmac so we were ‘only’ 2.5 hours late landing in Gatwick in the end. (Another hour waiting for bags, but at least we had our holiday last week…)

@Chumbaw14628244 @alinefaioli @DEfc1973 @PS5StockAlertUK And finally it arrives… 😎So my day off yesterday didn’t quite go to plan but I’ll be making up for it today. It is a really nice piece of kit - the controller is awesome. Can’t wait to play Horizin 😁

@Chumbaw14628244 @alinefaioli @DEfc1973 @PS5StockAlertUK Royal Mail have decided they’re not going to deliver mine today and will deliver it Monday instead. Not happy. I understand them delaying due to the storm, but Monday?!

[Simon Armiger @simonarmiger]

@alinefaioli @Chumbaw14628244 @DEfc1973 @PS5StockAlertUK My order status updated on 15th saying parcel being packed, then yesterday got updated again saying had despatched. Using Royal Mail with tracking number and have a delivery estimate from RM of 3pm today - but I think storm might hold it up.

[Simon Armiger @simonarmiger]

@VeryHelpers That’s exactly what I’ve done - hence my pestering you to make sure it’s going to turn up 😁 😎

[Simon Armiger @simonarmiger]

@VeryHelpers Ordered a PS5 last week & got notification today it has shipped from your supplier for delivery tomorrow & got a tracking code for Royal Mail. But RM tracking site says ‘unable to confirm status of your item’ which means they haven’t received it yet. Has it shipped?

[Simon Armiger @simonarmiger]

@VeryHelpers The tracking has updated now on the RM site - just took a lot longer than expected. Thanks again 👍

[Simon Armiger @simonarmiger]

@VeryHelpers Thanks Sean.

[Simon Armiger @simonarmiger]

@VeryHelpers Thanks Sean. That’s what I thought - but it’s 6 hours since I was notified it had shipped and still has no tracking status and says “check back tomorrow”. It’s due for delivery tomorrow, so would have expected it to show by now.

[Simon Armiger @simonarmiger]

@mandieq @marksandspencer @Hermesparcels Well they need somewhere to sit when they’re having their ciggy break... I got a parcel a while back (different courier) and they had broken one of the bottles inside it, opened the box, half-heartedly wiped it down (leaving broken glass) and delivered it late with no apology.

[Simon Armiger @simonarmiger]

@Chumbaw14628244 @DEfc1973 @PS5StockAlertUK Yep. That’s when I got mine. That’s encouraging at least 😁

[Simon Armiger @simonarmiger]

@DEfc1973 @PS5StockAlertUK I could only get one that included Horizon FW so I'm guessing they can't ship until Friday. Very (no pun intended) little information on the order page, though, it has changed from "being processed" to "being packaged", so fingers crossed...

[Simon Armiger @simonarmiger]

@PS5StockAlertUK Got one! Wow they went quick. First load of the page had none available as I was too quick, second load of the page and I chose the disc only console and they'd sold out already. 3rd load and got a bundle with Horizon. All within 2 minutes!!

[Simon Armiger @simonarmiger]

@alfiexlee @xeroooooo2 @PS5StockAlertUK If you have PS4 games on disc you can play them on PS5 - but only if it has disc. Plus if you rely on digital you can only ever get new games - no second-hand disc versions - which are always cheaper..

@mandieq Depends how fast you’re moving...
