Hi xxx xxxx
Thank you for pre-ordering the new Playstation 5. Your order is eligible to receive a $50 credit back from Zip.
You will be charged the full amount for the product when it is shipped. You will then receive your credit into your Zip Account within 14 business days.
FYI for those wondering, I ordered and changed the payment method later that afternoon.
Extremely good deal, the PS5 is effectively $80 off ($669 for the disc version) on launch day
Hi PissLUR
Thank you for pre-ordering the new Playstation 5. Your order is eligible to receive a $50 credit back from Zip.You will be charged the full amount for the product when it is shipped. You will then receive your credit into your Zip Account within 14 business days.
I changed to zip payment after ordering.
Sooooo anyone know when they will ship these, still no date yet.
You will need to check with Amazon customer service. I contacted them today and they advised that I didn’t qualify for release day shipment.
I ordered ~45 minutes after amazon launched.
I couldn't get any indication on date. It's a bit scummy of Amazon to sell this as a preorder without advising whether you have jumped onto a release day allocation or potentially much later.
So I pre ordered on amazon au and it said release date 12th however when I check my order it says
''We'll email you when we have a delivery date
We’ll ship your order as soon as possible
This usually happens when an item doesn’t have a release date, it’s pre-ordered, or it’s out of stock.''
So I contracted their support and they say ''This order isn't eligible for release date delivery.
However, we are trying our best to get them stocked ASAP from manufacturer and deliver it to the customers who've pre-ordered on the release date it self.
Once the order is shipped we will email'' and than they said ''Because on the order page it doesn't show the release date delivery.'' and ''It looks like the supplier has removed it from release date delivery as they are unable to stock items before that date''
So im confused was this delayed or are they unsure?
bit annoyed now.
PS5 release date is 12th Nov, not 14th. Sounds like they can't confirm launch day/week/batch delivery. Seems reasonable due to high demand and apparent low supply.
oh well he said This order isn't eligible for release date delivery so not sure..
Do you have Prime? The accessories are currently release date delivery so would assume console was too, up to a certain order point (say allocated 1,000 units or whatever) and everything after that is first come, first serve deliveries. Currently all retailers globally unclear on stock availability to difficult to give you precise delivery if you aren't one of the confirmed launch day orders.
@Rukiata: Apparently you should choose "expedited shipping" for release day delivery…specifically Amazon say:
Choose Expedited Delivery to get it by the release date. Orders with Priority delivery or Residential Express Delivery won't arrive by the release date.
Not sure if this applies to the PS5 or XSX though..
https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/help/customer/display.html?node…
@ironsword: checking more im not in those places.. im in dandenong https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/help/customer/display.html?node… nvm i count as Melbourne I think.
@Rukiata: I know, it doesn't make much sense to me either but it's pretty explicit. If anything, you might get it by the 13th with priority shipping (delivery partner permitting)
There is an embargo that they can not ship out till the day (12th) the console is released. JB has the same problem as well as EB, that's why JB told all customers to select Click and Collect.
Amazon dispatches stuff early morning (checking e-mails 2AM, 3AM, 4:30 AM etc) for delivery that day so I don't think that's the issue. It's a confirmed stock availability issue.
Are you sure that's applicable to the PS5 and not the Xbox Series?
Does anyone have any delivery dates on orders of Xbox Series X or PS5 through Amazon?
I was wondering the same thing. My pre-order does not have a date for my PS5.
My series X has a delivery date of the 12th, this is because of the embargo of not being able to ship out till the 10th. PS5 order is awaiting stock allocation as amazon still don't know how many exactly they will have
Not yet, I have Series X and PS5 pre-ordered and they are both coming up as "Delivery Date Pending - We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date."
The same that my orders…
@rgame: That's so weird, all my series x orders have had a delivery date since ordering. All coming up as 12th of November
@Thunder-Wombat: Neither have said a date for me, they went from "Preorder" to "Delivery Date Pending". It could be that Amazon might not be receiving the amount they were originally allocated during the preorders and orders now with "Delivery Date Pending" are possibly a second shipment after launch.
I'm hoping this isn't the case, but it's weird that some people have received a delivery date and others haven't.
@Mistredo: Pretty much preordered as soon as they went up. Looked back through emails, the order confirmations came in at the times below:
@Megumin: My order confirmations were:
PS5 - 17th September 10:07 am
Series X - 22nd September 6:10 pm (With series X having confirmed delivery date)
I got a message from Telstra saying my series x would be shipping launch day. Then they sent another one saying whoops wave 2 is actually december.
Yeah. I didn’t get my Mario launch day. Was maybe a week more
Well, so there goes my hope of getting it in November. Hopefully, I get it at least in December.
I talked to someone else now they say Yes, You'll receive a launch shipment.
So im unsure if i can trust them, also should I cancel my ebgames launch order and go with amazon with express shipping or ebgames launch order stranded shipping..or get both and try sell one with risk of getting scammed and stuffed around ehh.. i dont know
Do you have a guarantee with EB Games you are part of the first shipment? If yes, I would cancel the Amazon preorder and go with them. Even if you will have to wait a few days to receive it, it is nothing compared to what you already waited or what you would have waited if you got one from the next shipment.
Safest is, of course, keeping both orders and dealing with a hassle of selling one or returning it.
When did you order yours?
I got my confirmation email at 10:49 am
EDIT: just got off from a chat with them as well.
Here's the transcript:
04:52 PM AEDT Amazon: Release date : 12 November 2020
04:53 PM AEDT Amazon: Yes, this will be scheduled to be delivered by this date.
it is already under priority delivery service.
04:53 PM AEDT Cornetto: Thank you so much. I wasn't sure because on my order page it didn't give me a delivery estimate.
04:54 PM AEDT Amazon: Yes, as of now it is not showing any delivery dates.
We will email you once it is shipped.
mines 10:34am
Yes, EB Games at least mentioned while ordering for post-launch that it could be up to 31 December, as it seems there is no post-launch release dates, but it should be this year? As for Amazon, I'm not sure if they advertised whether the order was launch or post-launch, so I think that could be pot-luck.
I just wish PlayStation would advertise when their post-launch release date was! Not mentioning the post-post launch release date which is sometime in 2021.
i went on amazon's customer support page just now and when i select my ps5 preorder it says "Not yet shipped (shipment 1)". im assuming that means a launch delivery (or shortly after launch maybe). can anyone else confirm?
edit: nvm its on all orders lol
It does not say shipment 1 for me.
Yeah I noticed that on mine too haha but then, after looking at some of my other orders, I noticed that when Amazon ship items separately from they same order they label them as shipment 1, 2…completely unrelated to PS5/XSX "shipments".
For what it's worth, I ordered mine at 10:37am (disc ed.) and my order simply says "Order Received" (once I've clicked on track package) and that they'll email me when they have an estimated delivery date. I contacted them the other day and they said I should receive it within 2 days of release date. Not sure if it's a generic response to pre-orders but take that as you will.
I've just entered in contact with Amazon Australia and they informed me that NONE of the orders will be shipped at the release day.
Is that true? What a joke!
Just got an email from Amazon
This email is to confirm that stock for your #XXXXX for PlayStation 5 Console has been secured.
As we continue to adhere to guidance from local health authorities, some of our delivery times may be longer than usual and you might not receive your item on the release day.
I've pre ordered a few games with Amazon and they have always arrived via a Amazon courier before 10am on day of release
Just rang them and they have no idea when it will be shipped. But was told I am on the launch day batch.
Good news! May I ask how quick you were to order?
30 mins after posted here, digital version.
I've just entered in contact with Amazon Australia and they informed me that NONE of the order will be sent at the release day.
Is that true? What a joke!
I wouldn't listen to them yet.
They wouldn't have any clue.
Spoke to them again today. Was told that I am in the first batch and will receive the item by December 31st - agree they have no clue.
Hey guys, any update on the product delivery? I hope we all get it on 12th Nov cause PREORDER -_-
How Do you guys even contact them there is no live chat or calling option on amazon australia website
Not yet, it's still "Not yet shipped. We'll e-mail you when available"
Hello,

As we continue to adhere to guidance from local health authorities, some of our delivery times may be longer than usual and you might not receive your item on the release day.
Same. Ordered pretty late also due to the ZIP IT issues.
Honestly, considering I effectively got a $70 discount in happy to receive a few days later.
Guess I can cancel my EB order soon.
Yup just got my confirmation email! Stock secured!! 😄
Got the same email, pretty exciting :D
Now I just hope to get it on 12th Novemeber.
Did anyone else receive this email from Amazon?

Also got mine today too!
I got the same email for ps5 and series x
Yep got it too! Can't believe how hassle free it's been lol
yes. so is this the first batch? and easy to sell at $1,500 on GumTree/Marketplace?
Dunno but you can try. Been seeing $1500+, gluck competing with em.
Got the same email from Amazon.
And coincidentally, EB Games called me today to confirm order & it can be pick up at launch day and they will open their store as early as 7am. If you pay the full amount now they will process it separately or something along that line. Could it be midnight release? LOL
Anyone here bought from JB - does your order show in your acc? Only my pre-order $50 is showing, even though I finished the payment as requested back a few weeks ago.
Not sure about JB, but EBGames has been calling people that have a preorder for launch to clarify who and when they were going to pick up the PS5 on 12 November, which is pretty good of them. Apparently they are worried that people will come in and pretend to pick up someone else's order.
Yep, got a call from EB Games, confirming launch day pickup from 7AM.
There's a trade-in week 3-9th Nov where you get double bonus credit (i.e. Level 2 +10% bonus becomes +20%) and recommended to trade in PS4 Pro then.
If you do so and clear balance before 12th Nov, you get fast-pass access to pick-up PS5 straight away on launch with minimal delay.
Console was ordered through JB Direct so t won’t show on your JB orders. You’ll have an email with an order number that starts with JBD.
thx
JB have already smsed me with confirmation of a launch day order and I've paid up the full amount
Got same email regarding my Xbox Series x also.

Thanks for your understanding,
Also recieved emails for both PS5 and Series X. Hoping Amazon updates soon with delivery estimate :D
Just cancelled the Series X though as I've got launch day console for pick up from EB Games that was moved up from their Post Launch shipment.
Same email this afternoon. Not worried about hitting launch day, it's getting stashed to go under the Xmas tree so as long as I get it before mid-December all good.
Yep. Got the email
Yep!
Same. I'm just hoping it's a generic just in case email, because nothing else I've ordered from them lately has taken more than a day or two to arrive.
Has anyone got their $30 prime voucher yet? It said youd get one
Only after they send the console
Just went onto chat with Amazon and recieved an update as for when PS5 will be shipped and delivered. Chat said that it is not delayed and will be sent on launch day the 12th with delivery expected by the 16th.
My hope is that they have to say that for appearances and they'll actually ship ahead.
I feel like a lot of Amazon's customer service team are super uninformed and just spout default canned responses.
In other words, your CS rep might have just fed you the line they use for all pre-ordered stock.
Why do you think they will ship ahead? Isn’t Amazon always shipping on the release date?
@Mistredo: Wishful thinking? Haha.
I think they ship ahead in the US, not sure about Australia. This is my first time preordering with them.
I live near Melbourne CBD so I might get lucky with shipping times regardless.
@captainyossarian: I don't think they are going to ship ahead. My series X is meant to arrive tomorrow from them but they aren't shipping till late tonight or early morning tomorrow
Did everyone who ordered with Zippay get an email confirming they were eligible the $50 credit?
I ended up have a gift card balance (Around $350) automatically used in conjunction with zippay Playstation 5 order and now I suspect I may be ineligible for the $50 zippay credit.
Did you guys also receive email for the games? I preordered Spider-Man miles morales somewhat late and am wondering when I’ll be receiving the order.
My guess would be they'll ship separately, but it depends on a number of variables. Impossible to say for sure.
I've got the email confirming I have secured stock… but no confirmation whether this is launch day stock, I'm hoping!
Hello! I got the email informing me that I have the stock in October however I was wondering if anyone else has gotten their console shipped or the money taken out of their account? I seldom order from Amazon but I was wondering if this is normal because it seems very peculiar that it is 2 days before launch and I haven't even gotten as much as a shipping date.
My order status is the same as yours. They don't take money until they actually ship it, and the order will not update until there is some change on it, so it will update only once they ship it.
In theory, updating your address or payment method should trigger the order refresh and show a correct date, but I wouldn't risk touching the order.
Judging by Amazon's approach with the Series X pre-orders, I think we're going to get our PS5 pre-orders at the earliest a day later.
Looks like Amazon is starting to get ready to ship PS5's out. My order says 'Not Yet Shipped' but updated to say that it's arriving Monday. Also recieved this email:
"Please be advised that we have a revised delivery date for the items you ordered on 17/09/2020 (Order #).
"PlayStation 5 Console"

still no date on mine :(
Same here.
Are you in Metro or regional? Thanks for the heads-up. Shame about the delay.
Gold Coast QLD. I selected Expedited Shipping so I don't know if the delivery delay is taking that into consideration or not.
@Spawn Peak: Fiddled with shipping methods. Shipping most definitely changes the estimate.
Standard Estimate Nov 17th - 19th
Expedited Estimate Nov 16th
Priority Estimate Nov 13th - 16th

I live in Sydney.
Seems a generic Aus-Wide email/date range.
From what I have read on facebook not everyone has received that email yet and the date range varies quite a bit depending on the state.
@Joyeuse: Oh interesting, from the ones i read they all seemed 12/11-16/11. I stand corrected then.
Mine is the same date range and i am in Melb CBD
Hopefully i receive this side of the weekend or Saturday morning which has been common for Amazon recently.
Can't really complain considering most people got the $50 cashback from Zip and a $30 voucher for a brand new console, which is unheard of.
I guess not getting this email means I am not in the first wave. 😭

Sounds like unit allocation confirmed. Fingers crossed…
