Have you ordered a PS5? Here's what to expect

Playstation 5 - Launch Post - Social.png

 

**UPDATED** We've added some extra information to cover some more frequently asked questions

 

You can order accessories on Add To Plan, which lets you buy new kit, and spreads the cost across your monthly EE bills over the next 11 months. It doesn’t cost you any more – there are no fees and no interest, and it’s not just for pay monthly mobile plans either. 4GEE WiFi and tablet plan users can benefit too.

 

Find out more about Add To Plan >


Here’s some helpful information of what to expect if you ordered one.

 

 

The PS5 is showing as out of stock, what should I do?


When the PS5 is out of stock, you can register here to get notified when it is available to order again.



Am I eligible?


You are able to order if you are an existing EE customer within the first 17 months of your contract and are eligible to take Add to Plan (please note, not available at time of upgrade).

 

 

Can I buy over the phone?


No, the PS5 is only available to buy online through the online shop

 

 

How do I know my order has been successful?


When you place your order online you will see an on-screen message like the one below with an xko number

You will also get an email about your order which will look like the below

If there are any problems with your order you will be contacted directly.


You will be kept up to date with your order by regular weekly messages, no need to call.

 

 

When will my £10 upfront payment be taken?


Your payment will not be taken straight away, so no need to check your bank account. It will be taken when your PS5 order is being processed on your account.

 

 

Will you be selling accessories or games?


Yes, we are selling various packages of games, controllers and consoles.

 

 

How will I find out about my delivery details?

 

You will get free Monday to Friday delivery as standard on all online orders and will receive a notification when it is out for delivery.

 

DPD – our courier partner, will send you a text the day before your EE order arrives to confirm delivery for the following day. The message will also include options to change and track your parcel on DPD’s website.

 

A further message will be sent on the day of delivery advising the 1 hour slot in which your delivery will be attempted, again this message will include options to change and track your parcel.

 

 

What if I want to cancel my order?


If you wish to cancel your order, please call us on 150 to do so.

@Bigboytony25 I really don’t know what it means 😂 I spoke to someone early and he “I have great news for you it has popped up on your account so you’ve secured one for yourself “ said that he could now give me my order number starting in 02 ! Said once dpd get it I’ll receive tracking . He did say that XKO numbers are digital and temporary orders till it’s on your account . So yh I don’t really know what to think tbh 😂

@samim_s not true, i think the number of consoles sony has allocated between release day (19th) and the day they have been mentioning a lot (15th of dec), has been enough to cover multiple drops... hence why they had the capacity to get a load more orders in yesterday. Most if not all orders will deliver on or before the 15th... Patience is key! 

How easy is it to cancel my order ?

 

Just manged to order one from argos .

not strictly true. Mine was added to plan on the 30th november. it was never delivered.

@riag1987 I'm in a similar situation to you. Ordered console plus extra controller at 9.05 on 19th November. Didnt get the xko email until just after 10am on the 21st November though. No DPD notification yet and just off the phone with digital sales who say mine shows as an open order and I will just have to wait for stock but should be before 15th December so looks like another week of waiting ☹ 

@Teemeans @ I guess that’s good news then hopefully we will get it by Tuesday, hopefully

Called DS and they said my console had been picked so no idea if it'll ship today fingers crossed. Controller bundle ordered at 8:34 19th SIMo

You'll get a cancelled txt from Argos any minute now... Sorry. I had same an hour ago..managed to order and pay then got cancelled txt. 

@Bigboytony25 Yep I manage to bag myself one from smyths it’ll be worth the wait. I don’t think my one from EE will done next week considering I only ordered that one yesterday! That’s why when you said order number it peaked my interest, did you place yours on the 19th?

I still can't believe how SIMo (People who clearly can't read) get their consoles first, it's baffling and just doesn't make any sense at all to me.
