Yep, I got charged for my stuff and most of it is arriving tomorrow minus the Pro Controller apparently? Says Tuesday still but I'm sure I'll get it tomorrow.
I hope I do, lol.

Really sorry to hear it. You planning to hit a midnight or morning release as a backup?
I'm pretty sure the Pro controllers aren't arriving tomorrow. They've never had a March 3rd release date for anyone from Amazon from what I understand.
Sighhhh.. I just received an email that the pay method of my cc was declined, probably because of lack of credit. I'm in Mexico so I'm paying $480 dollars for this shit and they came up with this. I also missed when Amazon Japan had a super nice bundle of Switch console + case + screen protector for $361 international shipping included... Siiiiighhh, it seems life doesn't want me to have a Nintendo Switch or play BotW because I can't even find a Wii U copy to play it there at least until a cheaper Switch offer appears. Switchmas totally ruined to me. Screw videogames and screw Nintendo of America who doesn't give a damn about Latin America customers so local distributors price their products at their will no matter how crazy expensive it can be. I'm done.

recommend making a MyChoice UPS account. My order is still showing OPEN from Gamestop but under UPS it's ready for pickup by UPS truck/arriving tomorrow.

Neither my Zelda from Amazon nor my Switch from Best Buy has shipped yet. My Best Buy estimate still says I'd get it today. I do not care for this game.

"Calm down
Just wait
Don't get upset
Don't worry"
Key pieces of advice that I'd like GAF and Amazon to shove up their ass. This launch has been a goddamn mess for some of us. Not cool.

It could be that they prepared the shipment but it hasn't shipped yet?

Anyone know how big the system update is? If it's small enough I might set it to be tethered to my phone and let it download on the way home from best buy tonight.

Got my confirmatory text that Best Buy store pickup is ready for tomorrow, so I'll head there after work. I've got the Gray Console, Zelda Master Edition and 1,2 Switch there.
Amazon's shipping my other stuff. Got a charging grip, Super Bomberman R, and Neon Blue Joycons coming.
Surprisingly, they also packed in my Pro Controller after switching the ship date from March 3rd to March 7th, but then now I guess we're back on for March 3rd. Hurray for lowered expectations I guess.

Saw a quote saying that the process would take between 10-20 mins somewhere.
no, it's the states that your order moves through. Not Yet Shipped is the state before Preparing to Ship. Then Shipping Now. to Shipped.

Has anyone been able to pick up a Pro Controller yet at Wal Mart?
I'm hearing conflicting reports on this, and would like to pick one up today if possible. But it's a bit of a drive to my nearest Wal Mart, not sure if it's worth a trip to come back empty handed.

Still Open but UPS MyChoice shows that my label is created and the SE will ship via next day air wit delivery tomorrow between 10:45am and 2:45pm
Mine has been like that all morning. I've been charged and everything but still no movement other than "Preparing to ship"

Believe that Nintendo stated it can download in the background, too. So, folks can feel free to pop-in Zelda as soon as they get home and then just apply the update once it's ready.

I paid $8 to UPS to lock in a 2-hour delivery window.
So, my system will arrive tomorrow between 2:30PM and 4:30PM EST.
Zelda I don't think I'm going to pay the $8 for the delivery window, since:
1) It's also coming UPS, and I can't imagine they would make 2 separate deliveries to me on the same day, they'll probably deliver it at the same time
2) Even if Zelda does come toward the later end of its 2:30-6:30 window, that'll mean I have a couple of hours to set up the system and everything so that it would be ready for Zelda.
So, around 26:15 and 28:15 to go until my Switch is here.

My bestbuy did. I preordered, but called a head today to see what time they recommend showing up to process the orders.
He said they have a handful, give or take what that means to quantity though.

I am not sure how a launch has been deemed a mess when the official launch date hasn't come yet.
If Saturday morning comes, and your stuff hasn't been delivered, then I would say it has been a mess. But, worrying about shipping statuses when Amazon and Best Buy ships a lot of things overnight is something that someone shouldn't get upset about.
Just my two cents.. I order a lot from Best Buy, and a lot of times a Tuesday release is shipped out the day before for me.

My Amazon Pro Controller Order seems like it's about to (hopefully) get bumped up to Friday or Saturday. It had listed Tuesday, March 7th, as the delivery date since I pre-ordered it, but that was under the assumption that they weren't shipping it out until Friday.
The status on my order changed from "Pre-ordered" to "Preparing Shipment" overnight, and now says "Shipping Today."

Chances of waltzing into Walmart tomorrow morning and leaving with a Pro Controller?
How do u check that if you don't have a shipping number yet?
If it makes you feel any better, Zelda was the last thing to ship for me and the only one that shipped separately from my other two orders.

You would need a shipping (tracking) number to check the status of any delivery.

Don't know how Amazon operates that everything is preparing for shipping, or has shipped, and should arrive tomorrow, yet the Pro Controller says Monday. Hoping for a surprise and it's here tomorrow.
Open and still nothing on UPS My Choice.

BB in-store pickup for Grey Switch, Bomberman and Pro Controllers confirmed. Still waiting on shipment for Neon Switch and Special Edition Zelda.
Right that's why mine is still open, no charged to my account or nothing

This is what I'm trying to figure out. Supposedly they're already on shelves but I heard they can't be scanned until tomorrow. Would love to get some confirmation on this

Zelda + Switch are ready for pickup.
Still waiting on Bomberman confirmation and my Pro Controller shipment.

Turned on the radio and the song Glory was playing. I looked on my account and Amazon just charged me and my Switch will be delivered tomorrow! When the Glory comes!

It's not just shipping tho. It's delay of billing, cancelled orders, pushed back dates without notice. I know it can't be a perfect release and hiccups are bound to occur. It just sucks when you have all your ducks in a row and the companies that get paid big bucks don't.
