[Barryman]

Will I escape Preparing Purgatory?

I'm right there with ya.

Although mine still insists it will arrive "by" today.

STOP LYING TO ME BEST BUY

 

[Rizific]

still preparing for shipping for amazon, even though it said it would ship yesterday. but i noticed amazon charged my account today. i know theyll most likely come through with delivery tomorrow, but im just getting antsy 0_0

 

[m_shortpants]

I had a pending charge from Best Buy, now it's disappeared? Wtf.

And it still says preparing on the order page.

 

[gappvembe]

Switch
Pro Controller
Bomberman R
1-2 Switch
Zelda Amiibos

All ready for pick up
(what are the odds they let me get it right now.....?)


Zelda shipped!


FINALLY

 

[korona15]

Best Buy says my Switch Pro Controller and regular version of BOTW is ready for pick-up now! Switch arriving tomorrow though I really should have changed my Switch for pick-up at store when I could have made changes....

Went for a walk today in central CT:

I'm in NW CT and the wind is howling like mad outside!! CRAZY weather day!!

 

[Like the hat?]

Called my best buy. Doors open at 11, can't leave until 12:01. Will leave with a neon switch and all the Zelda amiibo. No game (but I'll download snipperclips and Bomberman as soon as I get home)


Still waiting for my pro controller to ship (by the time I decided I wanted one I couldn't do in store pickup)

Zelda has been preparing at Amazon all day. Usually next day stuff doesn't ship to me from Amazon until like 8 pm at the earliest.

Will I escape Preparing Purgatory?

We're stuck in Preparing Purgatory together, my friend.

 

[DrDomVonDoom]

Oh sheeeeeeeeeet.

Alaska standing by,

Amazon charged my card, and saying it should be shipping today.

It could get here by tomorrow if its shipping from Washington, like it says its being charged from, unless everyones charged from Washington. Seattle specifically.

 

[WonkyPanda]

IT SHIPPED FAM! AWAITING PICKUP FROM UPS!

 

[Shabadoo69]

Will I escape Preparing Purgatory?

We are all in this together.

 

[Ta11geese]

Meanwhile, the weather outside in my area of NY be like

and all I picture is how it is outside when packages are going to be left outside by UPS.

Seriously. This was my major worry today

 

[7roject28]

I did store pick up at Best Buy and wish I didn't

Yeah, haha, I mean what the hell. Although my brother did shipment but looks like he's not getting his til tomorrow.

 

[sadromeo]

My Amazon order for the Switch and Zelda just updated its status to Shipping Today! Today is going to be rough. Need that Zelda in my life right meow.

People getting their orders today are making me jelly af!

Me too, but I am so hyped for tomorrow!

At least I will have my charging grip today lol.

 

[Hellshingu]

Will I escape Preparing Purgatory?

Yeah same here.

I am not sure how I am supposed to get it by today if it is still preparing....

 

[Earthbound64]

Dayummmm

I'm guessing a couple of Switch boxes were under there.

 

[Ta11geese]

Yeah same here.

I am not sure how I am supposed to get it by today if it is still preparing....

Wow. This worries me now. Anyone able to reach out to BB about their "projections"?

 

[metsallica]

I got the in-store pickup email from Best Buy... has anyone had luck picking it up today?

Also, possibly a stupid question, but I got my joy-con charging grip early and a coworker asked if it had a battery itself or if it just charges. I realized at that point I wasn't sure! Do we know?

SHIPMENT CONFIRMATION FROM GSTOP

[UCBooties]

Mine says open and the hold was dropped, but this morning I got a email ups saying my order from GameStop will be delivered Friday.

I did select non-release day shipping (because fuck paying what they wanted for that) so I'm not surprised that they are shipping it later than people who paid to get it tomorrow. Honestly I'm still just annoyed that they wouldn't give me the option to pick it up at my local shop.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Wow. This worries me now. Anyone able to reach out to BB about their "projections"?

Mine was literally like this until about 5 minutes ago. It's not coming today, but should get to you tomorrow, unless UPS fucks up and doesn't pick up the package.

You wont be able to get it unless you're extremely lucky.

It only charges while attached, no battery.

 

[dcx4610]

Yeah same here.

I am not sure how I am supposed to get it by today if it is still preparing....

How do you expect to get your Switch when your shipping address is blue smudges?

 

[SweetJohnnyCage]

Best Buy Zelda SE is available for pickup.

Amazon shipped Zelda SE, but still has not shipped my Switch. Says it is being sent out today and set to arrive tomorrow, though.

Thank the Goddesses!

 

[hawk2025]

Gamestop hasn't shipped Zelda.



I'm gonna get a Switch and no game, aren't I?

 

[bennywhatever]

Will I escape Preparing Purgatory?

I'm there with yall. Preparing fo days.
"Get it by Fri, Mar 3" my undies.

 

[JimJamJones]

Gamestop hasn't shipped Zelda.

This is what I'm beginning to fear.

If that happens, I'll order Zelda for in-store pick-up tomorrow then return it whenever my Master Edition comes in.

 

[LightJak007]

In a surprising turn of events, Wal-mart shipped and it's set to deliver by tomorrow instead of Monday, March 6.

Amazon switched (lol) from "Not yet shipped" to "Shipping today" just a couple hours ago, so I likely will get my brother's Switch then too.

[Slacker]

What's the hype level on this thing? Any chance for the lazy gamer who wants to wander into Best Buy tomorrow at lunch?

 

[terencecah]

Deep breaths!

My Horizon:Until Dawn CE shipped overnight, and I got confirmation of shipping at about 8 PM Eastern time (5 hours later than it is right now).

You MIGHT be fine!

 

[Ta11geese]

What's the hype level on this thing? Any chance for the lazy gamer who wants to wander into Best Buy tomorrow at lunch?

Nonexistent. Walk right in no problems at all.

At lunch?

Gone.

 

[The_Spaniard]

My RDS case isn't even preparing to ship yet, it's starting to look like I won't be getting it at launch. Going to be great having this system and no way to safely transport it day one.

 

[ThatMattZ]

Damn my wife just texted me that she's been sick and vomiting today. Our toddler usually goes to bed around when I'd be leaving for Gamestop for midnight launch.

Ugh... not like this at launch! Not like this! lol

Damn that sucks. Same thing happened to me the night of the presentation so I went with an online pre-order instead. Also happened when I was supposed to go to a Switch preview event. Had to stay home and take care of the fam.

 

[Persona7]

Damn my wife just texted me that she's been sick and vomiting today. Our toddler usually goes to bed around when I'd be leaving for Gamestop for midnight launch.

Ugh... not like this at launch! Not like this! lol

They will hold your pre-order for 48 hours.

 

[Flying Toaster]

Damn my wife just texted me that she's been sick and vomiting today. Our toddler usually goes to bed around when I'd be leaving for Gamestop for midnight launch.

Ugh... not like this at launch! Not like this! lol

It will be there tomorrow. Kids come first.

Or you could take your kid to the launch. Be the better parent though.

 

[nullpoynter]

Everything I've ordered has shipped except for my pro controller from Best Buy. It's still stuck in the preparing stage. Anyone else having this issue specifically with the pro controller?

Yea. Me. And I'm dying inside.

 

[oatmeal]

I can't get Best Buy to answer the fucking phone. So annoying. I just want 100% confirmation that I can do midnight pick up.
