Funny how other retailers can deliver on release day but not oculus themselves!

Seriously??? Hermes are by far the worst surely? Would never put them above Royal mail for sure.

Hermes is by far the worst in my area, like in another league altogether from the others.

Just got my tracking email from Yodal for Wednesday delivery. They're alright round here. They are all as bad as each other at times.

Unseul · 12 Oct 2020 at 12:49

Thursday delivery for me. Wouldn't be surprised if it gets further delayed.

ssmacc · 12 Oct 2020 at 12:56

Oh, I have far worse experience with royal mail than Hermes. The Hermes guys are always pretty good around here.

Fair enough. I've never had any trouble with royal mail. Hermes regularly "deliver" by leaving the parcel on the front door step and not even bothering to ring the bell, I don't expect it to come without a fair bit of squashed corners etc either.

Got my Yodel email, delivery Wednesday. Yodel have generally been ok around here.

Bravetart · 12 Oct 2020 at 13:30

Yodel used to be my least favourite but Hermes have definitely taken over. Had a driver just launch a parcel over the fence at the weekend. Was raining too...

RockSteddy · 12 Oct 2020 at 13:43

No email yet for me

mrgubby · 12 Oct 2020 at 13:47

Yodel always deliver to my safe place...

Safe place in their minds seems to be throw it over the 6ft garden gate (in any weather) , don't bother ringing the doorbell then email me sometime later to say I've got it.

McPhee · 12 Oct 2020 at 13:56

Yodel?

Going to be at least one "soggy box" photo tomorrow. Where's the best place to leave £300/£400 worth of electronics? By the back door, in the rain. Obvs :rolleyes:

Not hugely keen on Royal Mail either. Never had them lose or break anything. But most couriers leave packages somewhere sensible or with a neighbour. Royal Mail? Let's take it back to the delivery office, which is only open at awkward times!

Thankfully my postie mostly delivers to neighbours if we're not in.

krooton · 12 Oct 2020 at 14:06

I can see our front path from my office window, so no issues with it being Yodel, roll on Wednesday!

wnb · 12 Oct 2020 at 14:06

My QR2 and strap has been dispatched and should be with me tomorrow

Royal Mail so it should be with me about 2pm.

I ordered mine yesterday and says it's shipping tomorrow on Prime.

That place are gits for this, but I've pre-ordered a few items to which sometimes they just keep stating it'll arrive on release day, only for either:
A. It never turns up and the status doesn't change until later that day or the next to say it's delayed by some period of time, or
B. They just email me just before to say it'll be delayed..

There must be high levels of stock of the Quest 2 so I hope they are accurate on this one.. My Xbox Series X pre-order I doubt will be in the first wave of consoles, but it's still showing as being delivered on release day.

I'm quite surprised at the fact the headset is still available to order? I thought it would sell out pretty quickly given the hardware, pc connectivity and pricing.

I know it's a slightly niche device but given the supply issues of the first generation Quest, and VR headsets generally of late, it's surprising IMO!

No dispatch update on my order from the rainforest yet unfortunately though I doubt normally get updates until the evening before at the earliest
