Thanks for the input but I'm actually looking to do the opposite. I would like to return my Amazon copy of Zelda to Best Buy? Shouldn't be an issue right? I'm just not sure if the UPC codes somehow indicate to Best Buy its not their product.

They are already on Walmart shelves for sale.
Yup I have a Special Edition and a regular copy coming from Amazon tomorrow. Perfect, I'm going to pre-order Zelda from BB right now then so I can start playing it tonight and return the Amazon copy to BB over the weekend.
Thanks! That Zelda review thread has my hype through the roof!

They take my monies out of my account so hopefully it gets shipped later

Got an update from UPS; my Switch will be here tomorrow from Gamestop, Gamestop hasn't even notified me yet lmao.
The UPC codes are normally the same across retailers.
The only issue would be if you have ordered the Special/Master edition of Zelda from Amazon, those have different box art and are specifically marked to not allow them to be resold at retail.
EDIT: Should have refreshed the thread!
Just saw my shipping label get printed on UPS MyChoice. They're doing it as we speak

Flying out of the office tomorrow at 4:00 and going straight to GameStop to pick up my preordered system and Zelda limited edition. I've also just been told that I'll be getting my first 2 day weekend of the year, which is unheard of in public accounting this time of the year. I'm so excited for tomorrow!

I heard about that, but apparently they can't be scanned and bought yet? Or did that change? If so I'll go pick one up today!

Looks like I was concerned yesterday for nothing. My Switch is preparing for Shipment via Amazon and will be here with Zelda by 8pm. Phew.

Amazon just charged my credit card for my switch and Zelda. Should ship out soon . Long island NY here.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Best Buy store pickup for the system is still "preparing," even though my Zelda game is "ready for pickup (tomorrow."
Making me worried.

My bb preorder for the switch still says preparing. My gs preorder for pro controller says open. I'm used to preorders on amazon which does an awesome job of updating shipping status. Not sure if my stuff is going to come on the 3rd. Amazon shipped my switch case yesterday. That will be here tomorrow.

My Target pre-order shipped with an expected delivery tomorrow, I didn't pay for expedited shipping and originally it stated to arrive March 6th-9th. I live in Phoenix
not sure if you saw my previous posts... but Prime has officially been canceled. Amazon's customer service for problems has gone down hill drastically in the past two years. Two years ago they would bend over backwards to make you feel like a valued customer. Now they will do the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM required, and if nothing is required, they will do absolutely nothing for you. I'm not paying $100 a year to get.... bare minimum customer service.
fuck those guys.
now I have to decide if I am going out at midnight tonight to get a switch.. or if I just wait until Tuesday. Fucking Amazon.
and for those saying "well.. your card got declined, that's not their fault.".. you are correct... EXCEPT... that I fixed it LAST NIGHT and my current delivery from Amazon is TUESDAY (which means Friday shipping). So how do people who have preparing for shipment TODAY have it set for tomorrow.. but I HAVE preparing shipment TODAY, and have it set for Tuesday, WITH PRIME.
Fuck Amazon. Prime canceled and it feels so good..
silly question, but how do you view that?

Got a Best Buy email saying my Switch is ready to pick up tonight, but still waiting for Zelda.

What are the chances of walking into a Gamestop at 11:40ish tonight and getting a Switch? Slim to none?

BB Switch still hasn't shipped. Still says I'm getting it today...lol. Same with Zelda, pro controller and other accessories.
They did ship 1-2 Switch earlier this morning so that's something I guess.

Same. Received email on Feb 22 notifying me that I'd be billed on Feb 25th (I was) and that it would ship today (today) and be delivered on tomorrow. Still no change in status on my order.

I'm done with prime as well, had it for what like 6 years already. The bigger they got the shittier they got. One good thing about them is that they are great with returns or exchanges. My canon 80d fell in a lake and they shipped me a new one the next day. Besides returns or exchanges, they can go suck an egg.

Me. I updated my payment type and it's readyvfor pickup. No issues.
Sign up for My Choice on UPS.com
It's free to sign up and if you punch in your address it'll tell you any packages scheduled for delivery and even the times they'll arrive.
Probably not great with a Gamestop, but Best Buy or Walmart would be a better chance. They seem to be getting decent numbers.
I called yesterday. Got the run around, excuses, and nothing offered. All they would say was "they did their best and that I could cancel if I wanted"
This company has gone down the tubes in the last 12 months as far as customer support goes. 3rd major issue with them in the past year.

Ugh.... Zelda special edition from Amazon was supposed to ship out yesterday still hasn't shipped. Walmart order of neon joycon and Zelda amiibo says processing but is supposed to be delivered for site to store pickup tomorrow. Spare Walmart Zelda special edition processing but should be for pick up on Tuesday. Walmart.com switch still shows undefined by Mar 8.
Good thing I didn't get those days off.

Mine heart clenches every time Insee Gamestop/UPS updates here....
Ah well, if all else fails, I WILL camp out at Target as this week's circular ad says they will have (naturally limited) copies of the Zelda SE for grabs Friday morning

Is there any chance that changing my ups delivery to store pick up will delay it? I really need to do store pick up but don't want to wait until Monday if it delays it at all

There was talk a few weeks ago that this initial shipment of consoles was the only one until April.

God damn. My amazon delivery for the system got pushed to Monday!! It's already shipped and UPS is saying Monday too! Has this happened to anyone else?!?
Wow, that's pretty crappy! Oh well, I'm sure i'll be able to find one at MSRP eventually.
Same here basically. I shouldve went all Bestbuy. Why did I split my orders ;_;

They sent it next day air so I'm assuming you'll be okay, I didn't even pay for the $15 f u fee they wanted, I just emailed them and said "yo, every other place is having release date delivery for free!", they replied "ok" and changed it for free.

Still "preparing" at Best Buy for shipping. Still says tomorrow for delivery.
Don't worry, same thing on my end but I just got an email a few minutes ago from UPS regarding my Switch and it's going to arrive by tomorrow. I suggest signing up with UPS and creating an account with them to keep track of everything.
