You don't get charged until you pick it up. Then they apply the tax. You should have a $4.95 holding fee.

PS5 & XSX Pickup: The Struggle Continues |OT|
- Thread starter Quasaromega
- Start date
- Sony Microsoft OT
I clicked on the link and it loads for a while before eventually saying 0 products found.
Yeah, I got zero items too. Where is the filter supposed to be?
I hit it within one second of the page loading too.
Did it two more times. Both times hit escape as it was loading...
:(

my page loaded with about 1,207 products on it as it loads all console items.
It's the fucking website, because i can't get it to do it again for me either.
Keep trying. It did that for me too, then five minutes later it worked, and now it's not working again.
ah, so you were a man of culture too. yes, it was working extremely well earlier.........i bet now everyones trying it totally jacking the website up. Saw a bunch of links going up on twitter.
Wow, the line shrunk tremendously. Went from 420k to 120k.
Progress!
EDIT: I was able to plug in different numbers into that original string and find a different PS5 search that simply said sold out.

Yeah it caught me off-guard because it loaded super fast. Then I saw 'redirect'.
well i mean if you don't hit escape in time it will redirect to the queue
I retried 3-4 times with an immediate press like it were a QTE and got the same result, unfortunately.
yes, they redirected it then and are probably changing the link. I'll keep searching for you guys, at least 1 other got it here.
Am I being too paranoid/cynical?
I'm scheduled to pickup in like 5 hours. How are they making sure specific locations have stock?
Also - my order didn't have any taxes charged. And it says "Estimated total".
I literally spend over a thousand bucks a month at Meijer but never ordered pick-up or online.
I've probably spent over a hundred thousand bucks at Meijer in my life, but I've never been more unsure about a purchase before lol.
Do other people's order confirmations look similar to mine?

already explained, taxes are not added till pickup. You should be good, mine looks EXACTLY the same. You should have a $4.95 hold for pickup
It is what it is, but thanks for the effort regardless. I may get up at 4 tomorrow and hit a Gamestop near me. LA has a curfew and I checked at 945 and there was no line near my GS. Going to guess that will change.
lol thanks. I'm trying to decide whether to stay up or try sleeping for a few hours. I'm all adrenaline and caffeine atm
Woke up to use the bathroom, checked my phone, and my Best Buy got bumped up and is now ready to pick up today....
I believe the consensus was that they would have limited stock at some point, but I do not know if I am recalling clearly.
Congrats, you are finally free.Woke up to use the bathroom, checked my phone, and my Best Buy got bumped up and is now ready to pick up today....

That
Fool me twice ain't happening
That seems to be it. Not sleeping until i see stock go up.

My steps.
1. Install ublock origin, go to settings, my filters, add
||meijer.queue-it.net^$script,domain=playstation.com
2. go to https://www.meijer.com/shop/en/video-games-consoles/c/L2-10233
3. Sort by highest price first. Disc PS5 was first on the list.
4. Add to cart. Everything else is pretty self-explanatory.
Edit: Crap, the first result is now Switch. I think they are closing these down as soon as people discover them.

oh shit.........i didn't even think about blocking the queue page LOL, thats fucking genius.
Mine is supposed to be picked up today but still just says it's preparing. I was hoping to get it at 5 am but am becoming increasingly concerned.Woke up to use the bathroom, checked my phone, and my Best Buy got bumped up and is now ready to pick up today....
yes, just tried it.....looks like highest price tag is switch now. not showing on the list.
Sorry man. Looks like they're closing them down as people find the backdoors, or they really are finally out of stock.
seeing a lot of pictures showing out of stock.
But im still wondering why the queue is paused. I'm wondering if they are closing backdoors while making it so you can't purchase any and then continue the queue.
either we are almost two hours into this foray and i cannot fathom being over 10,000 in that line. I was at 5k and that shit took forever and got locked at like 400
I've been periodically checking Target/Walmart/Best Buy/Amazon - nothing.
It's depressing that in 2020 our options for purchasing new consoles are exponentially worse than they were last gen. That's before you factor in a pandemic and bots.

Thanks!
Picking up DS and Miles....think I'll pick up Squadrons too, can get it for a couple of bucks at GS cause of a certificate I have.
I was until Walmart shit on my plans
They're telling a ton of people that they're only for the ones sold online.
Yeah seems extremely unlikely unless they simply don't want lines.
Igh... for real?? I was literally getting ready to head down the road to one..... should I even bother?
