I ordered it like 30 seconds before Wario64 tweeted the link out, and only ordered one. Tuesday August 22, at 1:15PM.

"There was a technical issue that prevented us from fulfilling your order." They probably figured out they won't be receiving enough.

I guess not having enough stock would be considered a technical issue.

 

[Earthbound64]

With all this cancellation drama I'm almost glad I didn't get a pre-order. It hardly seems worth the stress.

Lies.

 

[(mat)]

My money got refunded from Target this morning, but I never received an email regarding my order?

You will...


All Borderfree/Target orders outside of US are getting cancelled due to custom reasons. Sorry Canada/Quebec. All local orders may or may not cancel depending on how many orders they overbooked.

Your orders got cancelled? That sucks.

 

[dukie85]

I wonder how long Amazon is gonna keep ppl's orders stuck without a delivery estimate..

 

[chrono01]

Your orders got cancelled? That sucks.

Yeah, just received my email. It was the only pre-order I had too, which isn't surprising given the limited number of stores we've had to pre-order from (just EB and BB so far, and both sold out within minutes/seconds).

 

[UCBooties]

Lies.

Lol, I did say almost.

Yep got this today as well. Oh well.

Damn :\ Sorry to see this, everyone. Hoping you all get another shot at one!

 

[chrono01]

It's ridiculous too, since the address listed for the order is in Alberta which isn't one the affected Province.

I didn't know SNES Classic Mini's were illegal goods here. I guess I'll have to go underground to buy one.

 

[LiK]

I guess Target oversold.

 

[chrono01]

I guess Target oversold.

That's my thinking too, and they're probably cancelling all of the Canadian orders first since it's the "easy way out".

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I guess Target oversold.

Yep. They had their website up for a while once it started rolling the preorders. I mean everyone here got an order via Target, fairly easily. Nintendo is lying through their teeth if they made more orders.

I still got my local EB Games order so yay!

 

[sixteen-bit]

That's a shame cuz Target was only one of 2 retailers that came through with NES classic preorders

 

[Earthbound64]

Lol, I did say almost.

And it's still a lie.

 

[Ashby]

Is Target just cancelling Canadian orders? Any US people have their order cancelled through them?

 

[LiK]

Well, my Walmart preorder is still safe. If it goes south, I can ask to buy my brother-in-law's preorder with GS. He's not hardcore about it.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Yep. Ohio cancelation here.

what if he asks for $300 flat

Spoiler

[urfe]

Ordered from Japan, order now cancelled. Thanks Target.

Knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. Back to square one.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Which makes the results of this Reddit user poll interesting.

Nearly 25% of the orders are from Walmart. You'd think Target, which had their orders open for hours, would be much higher.

 

[Afrocious]

Though Target's window was open longer, we all remember how bad the cart jacking was. That's even if you got past the pre-order button allowing you to add a console to your cart.

 

[Juraash]

Oh man, Target preorders getting cancelled now too? Not that I felt safe with one in but I was hopeful. Fingers crossed any US cancellations are rare or have some other circumstances around them. I wouldn't be surprised if lost out though.

The run up to launch is going to be a little rough.

 

[TheGreenArrow]

I think it could be a funds issue.
Target "charged" me right after I preordered, then removed the hold fee a few days later. They just processed the charge again for some reason.

Target's orders weren't open for "hours". They were open for about 15 seconds once every hour or so.

 

[March of the Crabs]

Yup. Target order cancelled here in Canada as well. Back into stress mode I go!

Yep, Target will re-auth every now and then to make sure you can still pay for it, if it declines they cancel your order. Expect this to happen regularly to thin out the herd, so to speak. This happened to my pre-ordered NES Classic way back when, my card got compromised during this time and bye bye pre-order. Not like you can update payment information with them anyway, they really need to get a new database.

Same with Walmart, my order hinges on my card being good for the next month, which it should be, but any bad luck and it's done for.

i knew it, dont trust target that much that's why i didnt bother pre-ordering there

will this apply to all retailers though??? jesus fuck, i wonder if my Amazon UK pre order is ok. or Walmart's for that matter

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Yep. Ohio cancelation here.

Ohio? Sucks man. Sorry.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Are they making significantly fewer of the Euro SNES Classic than the US one?

 

[LiK]

Are they making significantly fewer of the Euro SNES Classic than the US one?

None of the EU preorders sold out as fast as NA. I think EU has more or demand isn't as wild.

 

[Kensation]

So with all the cancelations, we're down to like, 100 genuine pre-orders, right?

This poll is fascinating. If it was created after the first Best Buy wave, it means that tons of people were on top of Walmart during the second wave, as there's no way people got that many orders in the first wave.

Which makes me think Walmart might cancel orders again lol.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Target's orders weren't open for "hours". They were open for about 15 seconds once every hour or so.

Maybe. There was definitely a point around 4pm EST when the order errors stopped, and it became super easy to get one for a while, way longer than 15 seconds.

 

[Slayer-33]

This is fucking ridiculous

 

[ScaryShark]

Target just canceled mine from when they first went up last week. Bummer. 8(

Nintendo product launches are embarrassing. Sorry to hear about people having their orders cancelled.

 

[Altered Juice]

Dat poll.

Walmart is known for over taking orders. Wouldn't be a shock of people got tossed in the "back ordered" cabinet.

 

[evil ways]

I guess that auto click script that a lot of folks used on Target's site did more harm than good.

 

[Kusagari]

I wouldn't be surprised if everyone that ordered after the initial Target burst got it canceled.

I always found it suspect as fuck the orders kept randomly going up again for a period every hour or so.

Mine was before/during the initial burst, and got canceled. I'm more curious how they're prioritizing orders. If people who ordered more are winning out to people who only ordered one.

Who would've thought

 

[shanafan]

If Target started to cancel USA orders, wouldn't more than one person be posting in this thread right now? Seems like it's just one person who had an issue.

 

[Afrocious]

i live in the US and my target orders are gucci so far

 

[vazel]

I'm sorry, all I heard was PANIC!!!!!!!!

 

[Altered Juice]

0 stress here. Barely looked at my amazon UK order.

 

[Smellycat]

I was wondering why Target switched from "coming soon" to "preorders sold out"

They done goofed

 

[Dark_3nergy]

So with all the cancelations, we're down to like, 100 genuine pre-orders, right?

Ordered mine thru Target on Aug. 22nd and it's still there on my account page. A family member ordered one as well through Wal-Mart and hers is still there too.

 

[alr1ght]

Just got another temp charge from Target. Order still a-ok.
