My order from Target hasn't moved since it was created at 8 am this morning :S
same here for my zelda SE. last time i tried to overnight something from amazon it ended up shipping at 7pm....and i got it 3 or 4 days later. so im not as optimistic as some people here but hey lets hope for the best
Not really cutting it close when overnight delivery is common in this situation.
Yes. Mine finally got picked up by UPS about an hour ago and it's coming from a local distribution center, be here by 2pm at the latest and 10am at the earliest.
Nice, congrats!

People hitting up the midnight launch at Best Buy with a pre-ordered in store pick up, what time are you showing up?
11, no reason to be there earlier

My Switch finally shipped from Amazon. Also, my AC adapter and Pro Controller both shipped even though they had March 7th delivery estimates. Pretty happy about that. I'm in Wisconsin btw.
Was just about to ask the same. It's supposed to be snowing here so want to avoid waiting outside if possible.

Amazon hasn't done anything yet.
Just hope it's a big batch I guess.

So, Best Buy said my orders have shipped. But they haven't really shipped. They've been packaged and awaiting UPS pickup for eight hours.
Gonna' be pretty salty if this stuff isn't at my door tomorrow. Best Buy guarantees release date delivery with no option to pay extra for expedited shipping.

so what are the chances of being able to get a copy of Zelda without a preorder
I called asked about this. Yes, IF your store is doing a midnight release AND your order is confirmed for pickup.
I called my local Best Buy to confirm they were having a midnight release, and I received my order confirmation today, so I'm good.

Portland, OR - Amazon still says "Shipping soon, arriving tomorrow by 8pm"
Grrrrrrr! I'm not too worried, but it's still nerve wracking lol.

Interesting that some of the Pro controllers have shipped from Amazon. Mine still says Tuesday. Booooooo.
Mine says 8-14 :/
They did ship my charging grip.

Only just got charged for my Amazon order on Zelda.
Still says "shipping today." I've got Zelda pre-ordered for in-store pickup at Best Buy just in case. I'd rather run an errand and have to return one of them than miss playing Zelda on day one.

Mah Gamestop pre-order's tracking number shows EoB 3/3 but still in the "printing label" status...
Pleasantly surprised that Amazon's shipment of my AC Adapter was estimated for 3/7 but is now said to be arriving 3/3.
Tomorrow night is gonna be awesome.

Does anyone know if Best Buy generally has games and stuff on display to buy at the midnight launch or is it just for the stuff you have pre-ordered? Thinking of picking up bomberman and some more controllers if they have stock when I go to pick up my Switch.
I'm pretty annoyed that my Zelda SE isn't arriving until Monday, and I paid for expedited shipping. That's not cool, especially since I fly out of the country on Monday night and was expecting to have this before then.

Just a few minutes after you made this post, I received an e-mail from UPS stating my packages are arriving tomorrow. Soooo happy!

I need to go to bed before midnight because if any of my friends get a switch by walking into a brick and mortar at 12am I will be too salty to live.
All my things from Amazon are shipped now. Tracking numbers for all. Not getting the guide until Wednesday though. Don't really care about that but it is annoying. I mainly wanted it just to get it to go along with my copies of Hyrule Historia and the Art collection that just came out.
I have tomorrow off, need to run some errands and hopefully I'm done by noon. That way I can pick up the mail (most of the items), see if UPS drops off the Switch (coming from Baltimore, MD for some reason. Everything else came from New Jersey and Pennsylvania to Pennsylvania.) and then get to playing. I have no plans for the rest of the weekend outside of maybe running to pick up dinner for the family. So hopefully I'll be left to play.

Same thing with my order, preparing for shipment delivery date tomorrow by 8pm and it is 7pm and still no "its on its way" pretty aggravating. I am a Prime member, but I realize this is a very rare occurrence and over the years I have always received my stuff on time and never had to wait this long for verification etc. New consoles release very rarely so I will still keep my prime even if my item isn't here tomorrow. Most every other item I order is here on time or earlier than it was supposed to be.
Me too. I'm also in Portland. I'm mostly sad that I won't get to play Zelda until later that night because of the Timbers match. Tomorrow is gonna be a good day.

If you live in the Bay Area, you're not getting it early. A majority of the gaming stuff shipped from Best Buy to the Bay Area comes out of Fresno, so they almost always ship the day before since it's so close and they know it'll arrive the next day.

Tomorrow will be a good day indeed!
I hope everyone that has orders that still haven't updated get theirs when they should. Launches can be so frustrating. I look at the bright side, such as it is. You'll still get your system and games though. Many others that do want one but weren't able to preorder or decided they wanted one much later won't be so lucky.

Also Portland area. Still preparing from Amazon. I know we have fulfillment centers in WA, but still a little nerve wracking.

Might not be the right thread to ask in, but does anyone know what's up with the RDS Industries case on Amazon? My order still says Delivery Date Pending. Wondering if I should cancel it and just get something else.
