Well not to try and give you false hope but Canada post is delivering parcels on both Saturday and Sunday as of Nov 2nd for the holiday season. I got a package on Sunday last week which was very unexpected. Hope you get it soon!

Maybe. My local Best Buy is usually pretty quick on the in store reservations. Could you call them?

SAME FUCKING THING for me...screw you future shop!
Pretty sure that's not nation wide unfortunately.
I hope I'm wrong. Cause my smash just arrived in Edmonton, but won't be delivered today.
This might be unrelated, but about a month ago I reserved an item for in store pick up at Best Buy, and I never received an email. I called them about 4 hours later and they confirmed that I could come any time to pick it up. So call the store to check. They should be able to tell you if it's ready, which it probably is.
I don't need it anymore, but my Best Buy also has yet to confirm my pickup order. Oh well.

I'd call or something (though there's no way they sell out of smash). I made an in store reservation (two actually, one for me and a backup for my boyfriend) of the Gamecube Controller adapter last night, and I never received any confirmation or rejection emails. Now the site says store is out of stock.

It was the same with Mario Kart, Club Nintendo always crumbles under heavy traffic.
Same here, I sent a ISP to BB for the game, another game and an Amiibo at 9AM but I've yet to receive an answer. Relieved to see that "I'm not the only one"...
Fucking Best buy. Same here. I ispu last night too
Going to check the store anyways

Hmm, safe to say they disregarded any Nintendo-related ISPU requests. I bet there were a TON for various amiibos, and I'm willing to bet the follow through rate on in-store pickup requests is pretty low, so they probably wanted to save what they had for people ready to buy. Still, would have been nice if they tweeted that they were disregarding them for the day or something.
No I did a ispu for a printer toner too and no email. Theres probably an issue with the system or the staff don't have time to send
I just stepped into a Future Shop today cause I was driving by to check out the amiibo they had available...
all the store had (left?) were 1 Pikachu, 2 Link, and 2 Mario
actually I'm thinking they only got those three types because there was no shelf space marked for any others. pretty weak.

Ah, well thats dumb. I was royally pissed my Gamecube Adapter got ignored, I made the request pretty much the minute I could last night. The city is cleaned out of these things, and now I need to play multiplayer Smash with Wiimotes like a fucking peasant
My best buy called me because the confirmation emails aren't working but they said they still reserved it.

I heard most store got one or two. Its an accessory so it will be restocked

Ha! I just called my Future Shop, as a long shot to see if it actually went through, and I'll be damned if that adapter isn't there waiting for me. PHEW!

First time I've ever gotten a game on release date from Best Buy. Guess I'll play Alpha Sapphire for a couple of hours before heading to my friends house.

Do you plan to sell the bundled games yourself, or were you thinking you'd trade them in? Because just a warning, the last of us and lbp3 in those bundles are digital. The other two are physical, I believe.

Should have got it when it was 20x the points if you were gonna go with Shoppers.
Yup, especially there will be a Mega Redemption on Nov 29th and 30th.
Redeem 38,000 Points = $70 off your purchase
Redeem 50,000 Points = $105 off your purchase
Redeem 95,000 Points = $210 off your purchase

Awesome, I have 75k points from when I bought a Wii U. Going to get a couple games, maybe Smash and MK8 or Bayo 2.
hmm... still not as good as senior discount abuse, lol

Depending on when you made the order, it's worth calling and checking. I got no update from Future Shop, but mine was there waiting for me. If I didn't call, it would have been sold tomorrow and I would have never known!
Dude, you're my hero, thanks! They said their system has been experiencing glitches, so that's why I probably didn't get the email. For anyone else who didn't get their reservations, it's definitely worthwhile to call.

Nice, Amazon packaged my Pokemon, Smash, and Dragon Age together. Sucks I got Dragon Age late, but 3/4 release day delivery isn't bad.
If anyone in Vancouver wants my copy of Smash for $55 (I just want the CN code) PM me.

Does anyone know if it is possible to return games from Amazon to Best Buy? I bought Pokemon Ruby from Amazon during the E3 special but its not arriving until Monday at the earliest. Can I just buy a copy at Best Buy at full price and return the Amazon copy with that receipt?
yes

Just came back from Microplay. They had like 20+ GameCube adapters and many controllers. However, pretty scarce on Amiibo, good thing I had them put some aside. There was plenty of Kirby, Peach, Mario, Pikachu and a few Yoshi.
Make sure the bar codes are the same. They should be if there's no special best buy edition in this case.

This should be in the OP. Most common question by far.
(Second is "can we talk about deals instead of shipping?")
I'm going to start posting shipping deals
