      I want to delete my account with them now, they are UBER dodgy.
      Fixed.

    ……………… this is shit

  • +4

    WTF why have i been charged $1 USD for 4 transactions when my area is unserviceable.

  • +1

    "Sorry, Icecream not available right now. Please try again soon."

    Dang, this should be a negative comment.

  • +1

    Hi guys,

    Just got mine! They just started in Melbourne CBD!!!!

  • +2

    will they charge on my credit card???????????????????

    I pressed 10 times request for ice cream

    • if it has been charged just dispute it every time…no way you can be made to pay

    • Yep, I just realised I got charged $1 to my PayPal every time I pressed Request for Ice Cream even though it says No Ice Cream Available. So I deleted my PayPal and put in my Credit Card number now. But I'm not pressing the Request button any more either until I can see that there is a driver available. I think they will refund the pre-authorisation money back and if they don't, just like others have said, just dispute it.

  • +1

    I got my order processed!! drive confirmed and enroute

  • +1

    Definitely CBD only, don't see any ice cream icons on the map north of the harbour bridge.

    • I put down pick up from walker street. It says 4 mins away from me.

  • +3

    I got my icecream + a beanie!

    When your order is processed, it shows you a picture of the driver/delivery person and says how long until they can meet you.

    Then they call you up to confirm where you are located and ask where you want me meet. When i got called up it was 5 seconds after the order was approved and they arrived within 60 seconds.

    So i think the orders are only going through when a driver is located nearby when you are requesting?

    Its uni students handing them out, not normal Uber people so dont yell at them for the Uber issues.

    The 500g looks quite small, but maybe its heavier than normal icecream….

    • +3

      Pictures of the goodies?

    • I had a confirmation flash at me just now (John, in 2 minutes)… but I haven't got to the stage of receiving a text… what's happening?

      No phone call yet. :(

  • icecream in hand. delivered to collins st. no worries

    • how many times did you try before it actually worked?

      • twice then accepted.
        told me when driver was on way in minutes

        when my driver was supposed to be downstairs another driver arrived. they activated their app and i got beanies and icecream from them

        • +2

          twice?! lucky bastard

  • +1

    anyone got problem receiving their verification code, when they confirming their order? i click on 'resend the text' and no sms received :(

    • +1

      yup, tried three times.. waited 20 minutes and counting

  • +1

    I finally got mine. After nearly 30 attempts.

    • which city you in?

      • Sydney mate.

        • whereabouts in Sydney? i dont know if they deliver to locations away from CBD

        • +8

          I wonder if anyone at Uber or Messina thought to clearly state 'within CBD' in their promotions, or did they just hope thousands of people's personal data, credit card details etc were too good to pass up? Seems dodgy as…

    • +4

      Only 30? I have 50 pending transactions on PayPal (then I changed to my CC which isn't doing a $1 pre-auth for every attempt). I'm at well over 100 now (despite seeing them like 4-5 minutes on the map).

      • +4

        damn! 100? Love the never say never attitude! lol

        i was seriously about to give up.

        • +2

          I just keep tapping away at the app whilst working in the background ;)

      • +1

        i also don't see option to select my $20 credit and the order is charged to my CC. how will the credit be used instead of charging my CC?

  • +1

    ah.. in hindsight, i think the $20 better spent on taxi ride than ice cream…
    just buy icecream from coles

    • But Coles ice cream =/ Gelato Messina

      • +1

        Messina is overrated

        $20 is at least an hr or so of my life slaving at work

        not worth for 500ml icecream

  • I am not in CBD Sydney, guess I am giving up so they don't bomb my paypal…

  • Confirmed- worked straight away for me. Pitt st, Sydney. Click your location then select at the bottom "request ICECREAM".

    Yum!

    • how soon did you get your verification code when placing your order?

      • +1

        30 min…. still waiting

      • It took me 20mins to get my veirfication SMS, but luckly i thought of this yesterday and i already had a pin code I could use.

      • Took about 30-40 mins to get the SMS. Then it I received it 10 times.

        I have a receipt (on the app) of $15. I presume that's just taken out of the $20 sign up credit (that came with coupon "ICECREAMSYD")?

  • I got confirmation and the driver contact details. But when I contacted him he said his app crashed and asked me to reorder :(

  • +1

    Cant get SMS :(

  • +1

    just got my ice cream and a bunch of freebies delivered to franklin st!!

  • OMG, I just got a text, but it's the wrong number… because I've probably requested a few… sigh… this is annoying.

  • +3

    P.s. it is quite a big phone. Tub looks really small in the picture :D

  • +1

    I have driver confirmed and enroute with the deliver's details…called- no answer and text- no reply as yet.. She must be busy. Lets just hope i don't get charged all those $1 transactions from paypal!

    Edit, got my icecream after 2 minutes of confirming. Girl was nice and gave me beanie and sunnies

  • it will not send my the confirmation text !!!

  • +1

    Got mine delivered! Surry Hills, Sydney CBD. We're just around the corner from Messina though.

    Keep trying guys because they're doing it until 5pm and it took me about 20 requests till I got through.

    Here's a pic of the what the App confirmation looked like

    Here's what I got :)

    • They're both the same image…

      • ORLY? Fixed.

    • Nice!

  • +2

    Ice Cream not available right now. Try again later. Congrats to the two people who got ice cream, I think they're out of stock.

  • +1

    can someone send me a spoonful at least?

  • +14

    Ice cream is not worth this, uninstalled app. There's no option to delete the uber account so I replaced phone, email and name with pizza hut's details.

    • +1

      good idea! but how to unlink payment option :/

  • Still waiting for the bloody text!!!!!!!

    • yeah I have been waiting 10 mins for it. and I am outside the CBD, not sure why it is allowing me to request the icecream to my home

  • +1

    What a pity that they can't deliver it properly. Im in CBD but can't delivery

  • Im like 2mins drive from the boundary which it will deliver too :/

      1. Drive 2mins/Walk 5mins
      2. Pick up sweet sweet Ice-cream for free
      3. Put on Beanie like a boss
      4. Drive/Walk home
      5. Post pictures and make everyone jealous
      • +1

        Im actually thinking of catching the bus after I order
        *edit range has been made smaller again… why? :/

  • Got mine from Sydney CBD area. Plenty of Uber people walking / cycling around here, got lucky I guess.

    Here's the good when I arrived home. Mmm…

    • +1

      • +1

        I'm in Toowong and "NO ICECREAN AVAILABLE"

        • Shows delivery in 12 minutes at High St

    wasted 2 hours 15 minutes of my time and finaly got 1 pack and no other goodies (sydney cbd). deleting the app

    • +2

      At least you got a pack. Enjoy :)

      • are you really going to use the beanie and sunnies? I wouldn't so I'm happy just to get a free box of ice cream.

  • -1

    works In Adelaide. Got a pair of sunnies and Uber minties with it

  • Holly just delivered mine to Moore Park, Sydney! :D Driving a beat up car with Uber stickers on it.

  • +4

    been trying since morning.
    just walked to 7-11 purchased icecream

    no ragrets - not even a letter nahmsayin

  • got mine in Sydney cbd around an hour ago (cnr of erskine and kent st). I tried more than 50 times though since 11am. Also been to wynyard park once but noone turned up.. Hard work has finally paid!!

  • +5

    This sucks big time. So, you only have a small chance of getting any icecream if you live down the road from Messina. "We're sorry Icecream is not available right now" well, not good enough, I was told it would be available, from 11-5pm. Stay away from app promos, must get this thing off my PayPal pronto!

  • +1

    Anyone had success in Perth? I can't even see any icecreams on the map

  • WTF even is this app. "Request ice cream"…"No ice cream available"

  • few ppl get the ice cream and dont even out in a positvie vote in this deal..

  • +1

    surprised that I got my ice cream, and it didn't even need me entering verification code via sms this time

  • +5

    how do i delete my account!? or more importantly, unlink my paypal…

    • +1

      You can't delete your uber account.

  • +1

    Shows delivery to my place in 9 min but have not been able to succeed all day. "Sorry, Ice cream is not available right now. Please check back soon." Keep getting push notifications from the app to keep trying. What a waste of time!

  • is anyone still trying?? this is beyond ridiculous :( I've been trying for 4 hours now!!! in sydney btw. At least all the uber transactions in my paypal account have disappeared….

    • +1

      Mine still show about 14 of them, the problem is, they are concentrated only in certain bits of the CBD.

      • I'm very close to town hall… I've seen the ice cream logos hover around near where I am plenty of times :_(

    • my transactions are still pending!

  • +1

    Wow I got mine at 11:15 but the guy sitting next to me at work has been trying for 4 hours with no luck. In fact they just billed him $30! $20 and then a $10 cancellation fee! System is totally stuffed.

    • +1

      How can they bill him for no use, that's screwed, and this $20 fee is stupid as well, if these guys are coming by walking or on a bike, wtf? Sounds like bullshit to me.

    • are you sure? I had a LOT of transactions and now they've all disappeared.

  • FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I think Melbourne's run out… been getting ice-cream not available for the last hour or so.

  • removed

  • +1

    Alright so after waiting over 2 hours for the SMS I decided to submit a support ticket at t.uber.com/support. I sent another ticket an hour later with just the subject "Still haven't received confirm SMS 04XXXXXX". Shortly after that I got a email response from a tech who said he just verified my phone manually. Sweet - logged in the app, requested ice cream and boom - "not available right now, check later". FFFFFFFFF. Gonna keep pushing request until something happens! :)

    Edit: just read the tweet about Melbourne being out-of-stock. AAGGH!!!
