Kinda weird, the pending charge on my credit card I had for my Zelda ME pre-order from GameStop is no longer there. The order is still open on their website and UPS says it's shipping on Monday, but wondering if anyone else is having a similar experience.

I'm in a similar boat, except I haven't gotten any shipment tracking info yet either.

I did attempt to cancel at one point (the option to cancel online wasn't available, so I had to do so via email), though the pending charge was placed after that. Still showing as open.

Last night I got a text saying that an Amazon order had finally shipped (completely unrelated to video games). It was 11PM and it just got here at 9:30AM. So I'm gonna have to wait until 11 tonight to learn if my Switch isn't going to be delayed until sometime next week.

Help.

Amazon just changed "Monday" back to "Tomorrow".

I don't know what to believe anymore. I can't take this rollercoaster ride of emotions.

Those are just estimations that are usually wrong and updates hundred of times before you get your item. If you have release date delivery then you will get your item on the right day as long as there is no payment decline or a shipping delay/error.

WHAT

Amazon has my switch for delivery on TUESDAY.

That's not even two day shipping from friday which would be the worst case scenario. That better be a fucking mistake.

Amazon says my Pro Controller will be here Tuesday. I hope I can snag one at Best Buy tonight instead. I just got texts that all my stuff from there is ready to pick up. Plus, a real person called me yesterday to let me know my Switch is set aside.

I've had Amazon wait too late to ship out a thing for me to get it on Friday release before. I've also had Amazon's site insist I'd get something on X day when the current day is three days after that. Like it expected it to go back in time or something lol.

Luckily, all of my stuff seems to be on track for now.

Damn Amazon is shipping everything USPS in one large box. The mail carrier never bothers to even knock so I won't have this until Saturday. Why couldn't they just use UPS or FedEx.

YES!!! Thank you for the tip on creating a My UPS Account, it shows my Game Stop order was shipped for delivery tomorrow!

Game Stop still shows Open status for those who are in the same boat so don't freak out!

YES!!!

I actually didn't get a shipping info from gamestop directly. I made an account on UPS and they allow you to see shipments that will be coming to the address you put in. My address has the game scheduled for Tuesday to be delivered, but the item hasn't shipped yet, just says the label is ready and ready to ship.

Ugh....So apparently all Walmart.com switch order are being shipped out tomorrow, regardless of it saying arrives by March 3rd. Debating on canceling, but basically got the Zelda amiibo for freefor buying the joycon.

I should just renew my GCU.

Is it a hard case or a soft case? I was looking into buying it but I couldn't tell which one it was.

Feels like a stiff rubber on the outside. There is a hole on the packaging so you can feel it.

But the pic shows Joy con covers with images and stuff.

bunch of lies

It's the starter kit. I didn't even know there were Joycon covers and headphones till it came. I thought it was just the case and the screen protector.

Update on my stuff:

Amazon:

Grey Switch - Shipped, but tracking not updated since yesterday when it said left facility
Zelda SE - Preparing, "Arriving Tomorrow"

Best Buy (in store pick up):

Zelda amiibo: Preparing
Bomberman R: Preparing

As long as Zelda ships in the near future, it looks like everything will be here/ready by tomorrow. Hyped!
