    Hi guys,

    Just got mine! They just started in Melbourne CBD!!!!

  • hokonfan on 18/07/2014 - 11:49

    will they charge on my credit card???????????????????

    I pressed 10 times request for ice cream

    • IanC on 18/07/2014 - 11:53

      if it has been charged just dispute it every time…no way you can be made to pay

    • ZippyRoo on 18/07/2014 - 12:24

      Yep, I just realised I got charged $1 to my PayPal every time I pressed Request for Ice Cream even though it says No Ice Cream Available. So I deleted my PayPal and put in my Credit Card number now. But I'm not pressing the Request button any more either until I can see that there is a driver available. I think they will refund the pre-authorisation money back and if they don't, just like others have said, just dispute it.

  • iChopstick on 18/07/2014 - 11:53

    Definitely CBD only, don't see any ice cream icons on the map north of the harbour bridge.

    • hokonfan on 18/07/2014 - 11:54

      I put down pick up from walker street. It says 4 mins away from me.

  • agentsmithy on 18/07/2014 - 11:59

    I got my icecream + a beanie!

    When your order is processed, it shows you a picture of the driver/delivery person and says how long until they can meet you.

    Then they call you up to confirm where you are located and ask where you want me meet. When i got called up it was 5 seconds after the order was approved and they arrived within 60 seconds.

    So i think the orders are only going through when a driver is located nearby when you are requesting?

    Its uni students handing them out, not normal Uber people so dont yell at them for the Uber issues.

    The 500g looks quite small, but maybe its heavier than normal icecream….

      Pictures of the goodies?

    • bluedufflecoat on 18/07/2014 - 12:07

      I had a confirmation flash at me just now (John, in 2 minutes)… but I haven't got to the stage of receiving a text… what's happening?

      No phone call yet. :(

  • dhoneybun on 18/07/2014 - 12:05

    icecream in hand. delivered to collins st. no worries

    • johnthepg on 18/07/2014 - 12:08

      how many times did you try before it actually worked?

      • dhoneybun on 18/07/2014 - 12:10

        twice then accepted.
        told me when driver was on way in minutes

        when my driver was supposed to be downstairs another driver arrived. they activated their app and i got beanies and icecream from them

        • rawm on 18/07/2014 - 12:39
          +8

          I wonder if anyone at Uber or Messina thought to clearly state 'within CBD' in their promotions, or did they just hope thousands of people's personal data, credit card details etc were too good to pass up? Seems dodgy as…

    • drewbles on 18/07/2014 - 12:12
      +4

      Only 30? I have 50 pending transactions on PayPal (then I changed to my CC which isn't doing a $1 pre-auth for every attempt). I'm at well over 100 now (despite seeing them like 4-5 minutes on the map).

      • johnthepg on 18/07/2014 - 12:16
        +4

        damn! 100? Love the never say never attitude! lol

        i also don't see option to select my $20 credit and the order is charged to my CC. how will the credit be used instead of charging my CC?

  • CyberMurning on 18/07/2014 - 12:14

    ah.. in hindsight, i think the $20 better spent on taxi ride than ice cream…
    just buy icecream from coles

    • Turd on 18/07/2014 - 12:17

        Messina is overrated

        $20 is at least an hr or so of my life slaving at work

        not worth for 500ml icecream

  • alwayscheaper on 18/07/2014 - 12:14

    I am not in CBD Sydney, guess I am giving up so they don't bomb my paypal…

  • ycon on 18/07/2014 - 12:19

    Confirmed- worked straight away for me. Pitt st, Sydney. Click your location then select at the bottom "request ICECREAM".

    Yum!

    • aki99 on 18/07/2014 - 12:22

      how soon did you get your verification code when placing your order?

        30 min…. still waiting

      • agentsmithy on 18/07/2014 - 12:30

        It took me 20mins to get my veirfication SMS, but luckly i thought of this yesterday and i already had a pin code I could use.

      • ycon on 18/07/2014 - 12:54

        Took about 30-40 mins to get the SMS. Then it I received it 10 times.

        I have a receipt (on the app) of $15. I presume that's just taken out of the $20 sign up credit (that came with coupon "ICECREAMSYD")?

  • rvsure on 18/07/2014 - 12:20

    I got confirmation and the driver contact details. But when I contacted him he said his app crashed and asked me to reorder :(

    Keep trying guys because they're doing it until 5pm and it took me about 20 requests till I got through.

    This sucks big time. So, you only have a small chance of getting any icecream if you live down the road from Messina. "We're sorry Icecream is not available right now" well, not good enough, I was told it would be available, from 11-5pm. Stay away from app promos, must get this thing off my PayPal pronto!

    Alright so after waiting over 2 hours for the SMS I decided to submit a support ticket at t.uber.com/support. I sent another ticket an hour later with just the subject "Still haven't received confirm SMS 04XXXXXX". Shortly after that I got a email response from a tech who said he just verified my phone manually. Sweet - logged in the app, requested ice cream and boom - "not available right now, check later". FFFFFFFFF. Gonna keep pushing request until something happens! :)

    Edit: just read the tweet about Melbourne being out-of-stock. AAGGH!!!
