Can anyone confirm the temperature outside in your area was when your accessories shipped? If it was too hot the sorters might be working slower and taking more breaks.

I wonder if people are starting to see "Preparing"/"Processing" differences due to time ordered? I was charged like 2 days ago for my Switch but it's just been sitting there since. A buddy of mine in SF has his est. delivery date as Thursday and I'm a little jelly 👀

In Colorado and just got shipping notifications for both versions of BotW, Bomberman, Charging Grip and the Amiibos. Everything else is charged and prepping, so I imagine I'll get notices later in the day for those.

How are you able to check? The site wont load any of my orders.

Amazon's having some issues right now, but if you can get the page to load (try "Open Orders"), then select Track Package. It should show a shipping estimate on the green bar.

Alright, so I just called Best Buy because my order has said "preparing" for the last two days.

The rep seemed pretty knowledgeable and told me the following:

"Preparing" means that the Best Buy Geek Squad was preparing their lunch while authorization was attempted by the online system. Essentially they have approve each authorization before passing on to the next step. Since they were preparing lunch, your order may have been missed.

So if your order says preparing, give them a call because they clearly missed it and that's why it's been stuck on preparing.

I've only gone overboard if I create something like this to track where Switch has started to ship.

Has anyone with an order from Gamestop gotten an authorization on their payment yet? I haven't even gotten that far and the way they talk is I won't get my Switch until Monday. I guess it was too late for me to switch to a faster shipping method.

BB Switch preorder has been on Preparing for a couple days now.

Amiibos and Pro Controller/Charging grip orders are listed as In Progress.

I know I should worry. But should I start worrying?

I checked my order on Amazon and it said shipping today for my console and Zelda ( LA). Now it's locking me out from checking due to their servers having issues. I guess it's telling me to do something else. lol

My Amazon preorder of PDP case is showing this message:

"Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date."

Should I cancel and get another case?

Switch and Zelda still not shipped.

Since the dock has extra USB ports and the Pro Controller comes with its own USB C charging cable, could the dock charge the Switch while in handheld mode from that cable?

"Technically" it should support 128gb, but probably supports 256gb without issues.

Switch supports up to 2TB SDXC cards. Either 128 or 200 GB should be fine.

Where did you place your orders? I've got a Switch and Pro Controller from Best Buy still showing as "Preparing" but supposed to deliver on Thursday. I'm also in Colorado.

Which case is it? The one I ordered was delayed until May if you ordered after 2/7

I had a Amazon rep pretty much tell me if I don't get Zelda on launch day thay at least I get the 20% pre-order discount.

Normally I'd agree, but this is a launch title, and won't be playing much else is I don't have Zelda on day one.

Cancelled and pre-ordered from Best Buy.
