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.

 

 

Are you excited about getting your hands on one?

This is the email I received, my annoyance is that I ordered before quite a lot of people not only on here but Twitter too some as later as 10am even though EE sent a tweet saying they had sold out just before 9am

Ordered at 10am - no cancellation email yet.  Got an XKO number.

 

There were 3 different bundles available under add to plan.  At the time I ordered, only the bundle with the additional controller and 12 months PS+ was sold out.  30 minutes after I ordered, all bundles were sold out.  That does imply that there was some kind of stock control going on in the background.

is it possible you didnt meet the other criteria?

 

1) you must have at least 6 months left on your contract

2) you must be within your first 17 months of your contract

Just recieved this text from EE....ADE7CBF9-9D96-446E-AF4E-3D1428004112.png

I ordered at 8:47am. Spoke to them on the live chat as my order confirmation page disappeared before I screenshotted it. I haven't had a cancellation email, but I did receive this reply.

 

'Thank you so much for your patience. AS I can see, due to the sudden stock issues for this device, even though the order placed online, it's not fully processed. I'm really sorry for this. We're currently facing some delay in getting the stock from our suppliers as due to the current situation they're having issues in meeting the stock demand and are having less number of staffing which is the reason why we're now facing stock issues.
 
We've requested for quick supply for the same from our suppliers and we expect this to be back in stock within 7-14 days.
 
Once it's back in stock we can get the order placed for you again.'
 
I clarified whether that meant I had to place the order again or they would for me and got this response...
 
'I would request you to place the order online or else you can get in touch with us within 7-14 days and we'll check the updated stock for this device and will place the order for you right away.'
 
So not completely clear if I am on a a list of people waiting, or if it will be cancelled fully, or if I will get a confirmation email at some point? Either way, I will be checking again in 7 days!

Did anyone here order at 9-something?

 

It feels very much like they had an initail wave at 8:15 -> 8:45ish and then must have taken them down briefly, only to relist around 10am

 

Because out of all the posts here and on reddit, I've not actually seen anyone with a 9amish email
