This morning Best Buy sent me an e-mail letting me know that my Switch, Zelda Master Edition and Pro controller are ready for pickup. Looks like everything is going smoothly, now I just need to wait 10 more hours.

Mine still says arriving by 8pm tomorrow and still hasn't shipped. I live in Oklahoma there is no way that's happening
I'm in the same boat. My Pro Controller, Bomberman and Zelda shipped already from Amazon, but my Switch says Shipping Now. Still says I should get it tomorrow though. A little worried, but there is an Amazon center in my state so I'm not freaking out too much yet. Still, a little too close for comfort.

Now that I've secured a Switch, what are my options for finding a Pro Controller in-store sometime tomorrow? They pretty much sold out everyone online immediately
Was it being tracked? Mine says today but I can't track it with UPS.

Honestly I have no idea, for the first time ever I didnt check tracking and was expecting it tomorrow but the UPS guy came and handed me 2 decent sized boxes from Best Buy
Ever since I pre-ordered and even when it shipped it said Friday March 3rd delivery date.

BestBuy still not updating my Switch to be "ready for pick up" status. :/ I'm sure it's fine, but would feel better if it changed lol

So I have a Walmart Neon store pick up pre Order from that midnight allocation two nights ago. Does anyone know when that is "pick up" able? Right now it just says "not defined" with tomorrow's date.

My switch, from gamestop, is to be delivered on Monday.
Unfortunately I'm renting Zelda from gamefly (I generally never replay single player games) and it hasn't shipped yet. Odd, cause gamefly always seems to ship day before release and then take like 4 days to get to me.

Just joined the shipped club. Amazon is sending my Switch+Zelda out of Phoenix, expected to be here (OKC) tomorrow. Good stuff.
Quick question: The switch is gonna be up on amazon prime now. Im in Dallas, my master edition from amazon already shipped two days ago but my switch console itself is still on "we've got your order". I ordered right after the presentation. At this point, if it doesn't ship tonight and say that it will be delivered tomorrow I'll just buy a console off of amazon prime now. They're going to have free shipping and early morning deliveries. If my amazon.com nintendo switch comes in later than the launch date I'll just send it back and return it.

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
Got email for one of my 2 switches I have ordered for I store pick up tonight. One ready (neon) other isn't. Hope they don't try to pull a 1 per person shit post order. I always order at least 2 of everything (got 3 ps pros). Not to resell I actually use them. If they give me shit tonight I swear I'll stop shopping there and only go Amazon. Hell I spent over to 10k there this year alone.

I just got an Order Update email from Amazon...
for my Hardcover BotW strategy guide.
for my Hardcover BotW strategy guide.
Mine looked like that forever, except it was undefined by March 9.
Now it's shipping (this is an in store order btw) and still expected "by" March 9.
What a joke. I guess there's still a chance it's reserved in store, but it sure sounds like they're shipping online inventory to the store, despite the fact the store has something like qty 55 units.
Good thing this isn't my main unit!
Target is using shitty 3-day shipping on their unit, making it arrive on Tuesday.
Since I ordered so many units for friends, I get to see how each store deals with these pre-orders. So far, Best Buy and Amazon are doing awesome. Walmart I'll wait until tomorrow, but my thought so far is "Awful", and I don't remember if Target had a faster shipping option or not....if not, then poo poo on them, too!

Just got the shipping notification from Best Buy. Breaks my streak of getting preorders from them a day earlier than expected. But it's fine. I'm not grumpy.
Yeah. Shipping soon means that the process in the Amazon warehouse will start very soon. Shipping now means that process has already started or (most of the times) your package is waiting to leave the warehouse.

Can't believe my Zelda still hasn't shipped from Amazon. Breh, give me that shipping confirmation. I'm dying over here.
I'm in the same boat and customer service is gonna hear from me if I'm not playing Zelda tomorrow
Preparing
Play some steam games let us know how it is!

My Switch and Zelda should be here soon allegedly. My Pro controller and Neon Joy-Con set got delayed until tomorrow. They were supposed to come today.
I really cannot and will not complain.
Just got done setting up the Switch and playing a bit of Shovel Knight. What a great little system this is. Pro controller is fantastic. The UI is so minimalist but clean. The entire system is that way really, there are no frills, it's just a sweet little gaming machine and that screen is awesome. Saving Zelda for the weekend. Hope everyone enjoys it!
