Not disagreeing with anything you have said to be honest, it is supply and demand. Not naïve with regards to ebay, I know it won't happen, just saying it could be prevented via that route.

No, I don't think it is that at all. End of the day you have paid for an item that the courier is, in all honesty, stealing. Social media is a good way to shame these companies that allow their staff to do this sort of thing. Once that is marked as the 'owner' has received it then it is theft. I'm sure the police wouldn't bother to come out, they don't bother to come out for break ins so why would they.

Currys just cancelled my order i made at 7:26am. I wasn't expecting it go through but i received no email saying it was cancelled and i still have the £449 payment still pending with Paypal.
I had the payment still pending for over a week with Costco for my 55" CX tv but i knew that was happening. My problem now is that Currys have no record of my order and have forgot to cancel the payment as well as the order.
I have contacted Currys as to when the pending payment will be cancelled but have they inadvertently wiped all evidence of my cancelled order? It is Currys we are talking about here
My order's been sat on 'Dispatched' since yesterday morning but nothing since, no further emails. Probably be cancelled but slight hope...
I’m just playing through the remaster now before miles morales
fantastic game ! Chose the 60fps option. Still looks and plays so good ! (Got an ever so slight coil whine/buzz on my console but not enough to put me off.)

Has it got an RTX 3090 attached
You still have to take it up with Amazon, a decent person would take it up with the shop before stinking up a fuss on social media. If and when the shop couldn't deal with it, by all means then stink up a fuss. I've never had a single issue with Amazon dealing with any wrong doings.
This is all impatience kicking up like a child lashing out. A person has to have patience and go through the proper channels. Look at Amazon's response. They don't deal with support over twitter.
That should have been the very first step after they filmed it. If Amazon needed the footage, then send it to Amazon. If things go sour, then by all means stick it online.
If I was a courier, I wouldn't be allowing any random joe to look in my van. I don't know you. Or what you're capable of doing.

No, that would be quite strange.

I think it's a more complicated than that, very much of a grey area. The console did turn up right outside his house, it's not like the parcel accidently went missing, the driver chose to mark it as delivered but instead kept it for himself, that's fraud and theft, both illegal the last time I checked.
Like I said, grey area, but simply saying it's between Amazon and the driver is not correct.

If Sony had made enough PS5’s available then people would just buy it at RRP from a retailer.
Scalpers only exist because there is not enough supply.

Yeah, don't disagree with you about contacting them first. To be honest I assumed he had, doesn't look like he did, so yeah wrong way to go about things.
I don't think he asked to look in it did he, just asked the courier to check again and asked him to check what it had been marked down as (delivered etc), which I don't think is being unreasonable.
It is, the contract is between the shop and the courier to deliver the goods. Not the customer taking it into their own hands to threaten them to hand it over. Or worse, resort to violence.
Otherwise the customer is on very shaky grounds.
Sadly too many are good at threatening and following vans about but I'm not implying this person.
Anyone else having trouble charging controller? Shows as charging using front USB slot, even after a decent time will still immediately disconnect when unplugging it. Also it won’t charge at all using an iPhone/iPad charger. Would have preferred it use AA batteries like the xbox if I’m honest, had similar **** experience using the PS4 controllers.
But that is what I was getting at and I think JBeck. It has been marked as delivered, as handed to the 'owner'. So the courier and Amazon contract has been fulfilled and, in effect, it is in the owners possession.
I would say this guy had already seen on social media and news that PS5's had been going missing and when the courier got back in his van it had become apparent what was going on. I still feel I would have confronted the courier, especially if it has been marked as delivered. I wouldn't have resorted to physically touching the driver or his van, or threaten him, but would certainly ask him why he has marked it as delivered and ask if he could check again. I see nothing wrong with that.

To think i was in the Game que for 3 hours on 3 different ipads , got to checkout and press confirm payment " OUT OF STOCK " my boys face just dropped
People on here moaning about scalpers whilst forum members are buying 7 at a time. The hypocrisy jesus christ.
I confess I have ordered 12, its all legit honest.
2 for me, one spare incase breaks.
2 for my siblings, 2 for my parents, 2 for my sister's children, 2 for my parents, 1 for my girlfriend, and another for her brother.
All perfectly normal to spend thousands of pounds on a game console launch for non profit reasons whilst in economic turmoil.
I still feel sick in my stomach to be honest
That wouldn't be practical though, the whole point is for the retailers to deal with the selling of the consoles to customers, Sony won't want to get involved. I also don't want a manufacturer deciding who I have to buy something from.
Pretty much it in a nutshell, is surprising how soft some parents are. At least half of my christmas I didnt get what I want, and if me and one of my siblings asked for the same thing we shared it.
I know someone who not only was pampered as a child, he now at mid 20s still has never paid rent, because his dad just brought a bungalow for him to live in rent free, and has yet to this day ever worked in his life, he is just used to everything been given what he asks for.
