You're most welcome. I'm a Prime member and it initially was launch day release but upon checking, I found out they had moved the shipping to Tuesday. I suspect(conspiracy theory) is they bumped a ton of customer's launch day systems to Tuesday to "ease up" the crush of sending out all the systems Friday. I have a funny feeling you're gonna see freak outs in here when folks don't get their Switch Friday because Amazon changed the ship dates on them. I tried to help everyone with a heads up!
I went in and corrected the shipping to Friday and they charged my card early this afternoon.
I'm not going to call Amazon now about it but will once I get my system Friday. I don't want anything screwing up my order at this point. They're gonna make this right for me. I don't pay $100 a year for Prime for nothing. Especially when it said launch day delivery. So they can credit my account with $6 at a later time.
Nice! Did you get any games delivered? Is the day 1 update available to download yet?
Special or Master. Almost 2000 master editions were oversold and canceled.
Sometimes they ship very late and I don't see the change on my account until past midnight. It's no big deal.

AHHH!!! Still waiting for my BB in-store pick up order to update like a madman.
Special. That's what worries me. Is the first time I heard of Amazon cancelling orders for the Special Edition.
Except for the fact that a bunch of people's orders are getting pushed to Tuesday.
Besides that, yeah no big deal.

Check your shipping.
I posted a big mention about this previously in the thread. I will say though, you're getting a system if the charge went through. You're gold on that.
In the US?
I mean, you could always buy it from the eShop.

My Amazon BoTW Master Edition shipped. My Switch and my USB Cable/Screen Protector orders havent yet though.
Not worried though, I live in Indiana right by all the shipping warehouses and factories, I have had them ship Afternoon/Evening the day before and still get on release day. My biggest worry was about BoTW

My wife frequently picks up orders from GameStop for me on her lunch. I just give her my rewards card. (Prepaid orders)

Any particular item or section you need pics of?

I am on the same boat. Apparently I should have just opted for instore pickup.

Yea it would of made sense to do so, but can't be too greedy. I should of went with shipping instead of a pickup. I'm in the buffalo area, I could I have gotten my switch and games tomorrow instead of tomorrow at midnight.

Hah, not really, but thanks for genuinely replying. I'm just thirsty AF and have exhausted most of the mainstream preview/review content. Enjoy it though!
Edit: If you get the chance, I'm still trying to find out if you can output sound through the 3.5mm jack while the system is docked. That said, don't go out of your way. Assuming Amazon actually ships on time we're all only two days away.

My Zelda (Master Edition) already shipped. It's the console I'm worried won't get here on time. Plus I don't have the money to buy either the console or the game again.

When did 2 day shipping turn into 4 day? Did everyone who preorder from Amazon show Tuesday of next week?

Ordered a Joycon charging grip, Pro controller, screen protector all at once. All three have been charged to my card, but only the charging grip has actually shipped and will be in tomorrow. The other two still say "preparing." Really hope there's no delay.

Damn I've got a busy night tonight and day tomorrow. Gotta get shit together to trade to pay off at least half of my gamestop preorder right after work tomorrow. Then go home for a couple of hours before midnight launch.
Gonna play Zelda till I pass out. Wake up Friday morning, take my daughter to school, then caffeinate and refuel for a day of more Zelda.
I realized I might have to go to the laundromat Friday. If so, I'll be in my own Switch commercial. lol

Just got an email that my pro controller from Best Buy has been delayed and is expected to arrive Monday.
I ordered the console itself from Amazon, but that has not yet shipped.
*sigh*

GameStop sent out an email on 2/21 saying to expect Switch orders to ship on 3/2 (tomorrow).
Wait until tomorrow. If you contact support now you're very likely to make things "worse" or just confuse everyone all around. Overnight shipping is a thing and Amazon has always used it for my Prime orders.

Sorry to hear that. My Switch and Zelda from Amazon will be delivered Friday, UPS just picked them up.
Best of luck getting your console sooner.

My Switch and Zelda deluxe orders just went into "preparing for shipment" status on Amazon, yay. Both say arriving Friday.
