The baby is in da house.
Still waiting for the rest to come tomorrow though...

Edmonton here Best buy, not even a charge yet just authorizations.
I always pre-order when there is a deal, but if I want an early copy from certain place at full price for an already pre-ordered game I will just resell the later-arrived pre-order copy on kijiji at retail price minus tax.
Walmart is supposed to have stock in tomorrow for walk ins.
For another data point - Toronto, Amazon order, Zelda shipped at 10:45 PM EST (changing from having sat at "Being shipped today" and a delivery date of March 8-10 to Arriving March 3 before 8 PM), Pro Controller and Switch itself still say "Being shipped today" as they have all day (and still have the March 8-10 arrival date)
I'm somewhat optimistic that it will all show up tomorrow though

Edm here, charged but not shipped from BB, definitely not getting it this weekend...
Some are open early at 9am. For the midnight release my EB is just having us line up all together so it's taking forever, they'll probably do the same for the early opening.
Definitely wait until later in the day, there'll be no wait and they'll save the console for you for 48 hours.
Good call, thanks for the tip! And damn, not cool about having a single line. I'd imagine it can be held up severely by trade-ins and things.

So I'm also in the boat of Best Buy order that had an estimated date of Monday by Canada Post originally, but has now adjusted to Friday after a few hours.
Honestly having a hard time buying it given my location, kinda feel like I'm being fed false hope.

I'm usually very optimistic, but my Wii U Zelda is still "Preparing for shipment" with target of March 7-8.
Yet I have Prime, express shipping, and talked to a rep yesterday who said the delivery date is just an estimation, and that it'll arrive tomorrow.
Starting to panic...

So I just had a chat with Amazon about my order "being prepared for shipment" in Toronto, with an expected delivery date of Mar 8-10.
The rep said to ignore that and that my Switch would be shipped in a few hours and to expect it later today, she couldn't tell me which carrier though.

Edmontonian here, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones Amazon shipped Zelda and my Switch out. Unfortunately it was by way of intelcom, but hey at least they're coming.
oh shit. Taking tomorrow off work then.

I'm in Alberta and my Switch has shipped from Best Buy. It's estimated to arrive on Monday, but it was previously Wednesday a few hours ago.
Maybe tomorrow?

Why's that? Just in case you didn't get a Switch in time?

Double-posting, but this is important for AB-Gaf,
You may want to check your Best Buy orders... Mine says this now:
Scheduled to ship via Canada Post
Delivered Friday Mar. 3
We will issue a tracking number once your item(s) ships. You will be notified by email when this happens.

cuz that Zelda Wii U order is a reminder of the past when we got decent E3 deals. I have that on preorder for $35... or $45, one of those. still a good deal and it'll probably be the Twilight Princess GC/Wii situation where the old version is more valuable and shit. not opening it, of course
fake edit: Zelda Wii U on BB is $80, same price as Switch version. what the hell. yep, good deal indeed.

How did you know? I'm having a hard time getting these people to tell me how much stock they have?

Ah, okay, that makes a lot of sense.
as for not getting any Switch games
I can't at $80 each
but I bought a $400 brick
so why am I talking lol
Yeah, got the same thing. What does it mean, apart from the obvious?

Snipperclips and Fast RMX are both $20 each iirc.
oh right, Shin'en's Fast Racing Neo enhanced is on Switch. Thanks, I'll pick that up.

Not yet shipped, but the distribution centers should be in AB, if they're planning on accomplishing deliveries (what is now) today.
mine says the same thing, but status is still "in progress", I think its basically pointless to even use the site now, it shows up when it shows up...
Stood in line for 4hours to midnight plus 2 hours for the folk with preorders to grab theirs. The two gwntlemen in front of me literally grabbed the ladt two they had. I was literally that guy

Mine says the same thing I'm in bc, I'll believe it when I see it.
That blows.. sorry to hear that.
my switch and pro controller both say the same as well
Oh really? thats very good if they are shipping from AB and not ON or BC.

RIP Richmond Sorting Center, where packages mysteriously stay for 5 day vacations because fuck you that's why.
Yeah, 2 hours later and I'm still in line.
Apparently everyone is trading in games and asking dumb questions.
It's always been Richmond BC when shopping online, so I'm fairly confident the dream is dead
Waiting, refreshing.. waiting.. may the best refresher win!
