Well this pleases me. But I still preordered a copy at Metrotown EB Games today, just to be safe.

My Amazon order for my Switch Pro Controller is at " Preparing for Shipment".
I used express shipping, when should I expect it to actually ship out?

Mine still saying: Being shipped today
but on reddit some people from montreal their order are shipped already.just out of curiosity, did you previously have an estimated "early as March 8" shipping date?

Ugh, this shoppers deal is throwing a wrench in the gears.
I wonder if they'll have a decent amount of stock or not.
Anyone know if I was to buy it from there Friday and return and re-buy on Saturday, it would be okay? Or would they have significant issues with that?

It was as early as March 3rd until today. As soon as they charged my card earlier today, it changed to March 8th.
what shoppers deal are you talking about if i may ask.
Considering the joycon issues, let's all just hope the Switch doesn't full on give him a heart attack.

My Zelda Switch Special Edition just shipped from Amazon with their one day shipping.

It's a 20x points weekend.
When I bought my PS4 it basically amounted to me getting back ~$125 in points.
It's Shoppers. They barely had Wii U stock a couple years into its life during sales. I remember going to 4 stores here in London before finding one on Boxing Day 2014.
You'd be the luckiest person on Earth to find a Switch at Shoppers on Saturday.

still nothing from the prairies (ALTA/BC) on best buy forums. Some are wondering about the Langley Dist whse hours and are SOL because of that on reddit.
PayPal for my EB order. It was finally charged but hasn't shipped yet so I'm still waiting for that.

Switch and pro controller will be here tomorrow through Amazon! Too bad the games still say shipping today...hopefully I'm not stuck with a switch with no games for the weekend.
Amazon changed the shipping on my Pro Controller, Switch, Zelda Guide + Case... but I just got the shipping notice for my Link Archer amiibo, ffs.
I was charged for the first 4 items so hopefully they're not far behind. Website shows everything as "preparing to ship" still, but the Pro controller says "Shipping soon"

Yup, check your bank statements. My PayPal status was stuck on "authorization" but my bank passed the money through.

All electronics purchased at Shoppers are final sale. No returns whatsoever, you deal with the manufacturer for any problems.
What's available for stock is based on location(s), if they receive any at all. I spoke to my local Shoppers where I bought my PS4 Pro from last night and the reps were still uncertain about inventory. I was told they didn't/wouldn't get any, to we don't know until Thursday evening when our stock arrives what will be available. Plus the new flyer doesn't go out officially until Saturday, the Switch comes out before the flyer advertisement. If there is inventory, who's to say someone won't go into the store on Friday (launch) day and ask ahead of the flyer.
Also, from what I know Shoppers which are 24 hours, don't allow the sale of electronics past a certain time due to theft issues they had on the east coast. At least, this is what was told to me by an in-store rep I spoke to. Otherwise, basically it's just hitting one up early Friday/Saturday morning and trying your luck. The best case out of this is you know Shoppers may carry more inventory down the road, if you're adamant about using or collecting optimum points. These 20x events happen quite frequently.

Edit: Sorry Risky, I read your post too quickly and didn't answer your question clearly enough. But generally speaking you won't be able to do what you're proposing due to their electronics return policy. If you're adamant perhaps speak to an in-store manager. I'll leave the rest of what I typed up there in case it's helpful to anyone else. Good luck though!
