My BB order is still showing "preparing" and "get it by March 2nd." This has to be some kind of cruel joke...

I wouldn't sweat it, my Best Buy Switch and Pro Controller both quoted a 3/2 delivery originally. UPS has both of them now scheduled for delivery tomorrow (3/3).

Do you know if you're near a Best Buy DC? Will probably be shipping to you overnight.

 

[ViciousDS]

hahaha all you guys who paid extra one day shipping from gamestop


MyChoiceUPS just told me my package is coming from gamestop and will arrive tomorrow.

God do I love UPS mychoice!!!!!

 

[gregor7777]

Stuff I bought:

BB: Switch Grey 1 - ordered Feb 3rd - Shipped
BB: Zelda - Jan 17th - Ready to pick up in-store
BB: Switch Grey 2 - Jan 13th - Preparing (in-store)

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Yesss

Wonder if they'll let me pick them up today hmmm

No, not even worth wasting your time.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Best Buy still showing "preparing."

I'm sure this has been answered, but is there any point in calling customer service to make sure this will be arriving tomorrow for home delivery?

There's a distribution center in Woodridge, IL (I think?); so as long as it ships today you should be good.

 

[charpunk]

Just to make it clear for Best Buy people, you won't be able to pick up your orders today. The register system will block the transaction, so don't waste your time.

 

[Vidiot]

YES! My master edition just shipped from amazon!

 

[hokahey]

Yes, pre-ordered online (Grey Joycon Version). I got it like the minute it went up, paid with a REDcard.

Crazy. Same for me all around. Well, at least it's a sign they're going to perhaps ship the damn thing on time, even if mine hasn't gone out yet.

 

[JonnyKtyler]

My best buy order still shows 'preparing'

I ordered zelda and bomberman from amazon and they are preparing for shipment.

I'm in iowa

 

[EDarkness]

Has anyone had their Amazon orders shipped yet? Mine says it'll arrive tomorrow, but hasn't shipped yet. I'm starting to get worried.

 

[nullpoynter]

My Amazon order just hit the "Shipping today" stage. My orders from Best Buy are still stuck at the "preparing" stage as well. Still says I should get it on Friday though.

 

[nikos]

Can any Best Buy employees chime in regarding a canceled order for in-store pickup? I may go during my lunch to see if they can do anything for me. Payment failed authorization. Is this something that the store can accommodate, or will I burn my lunch for no reason?

 

[Barrett2]

This is bullshit.

My Amazon Horizon Zero Dawn pre-order was lost in transit and still not yet arrived. Now my Switch which I pre-ordered literally 3 min after they went up on Amazon is still showing "shipping soon."

My Walmart order, also placed 5 min after the Switch went up is showing est delivery March 07.

What the fuck!?!?!?!?

 

[FullMetaltech]

So what are my chances to get a Switch if i didnt preorder? Wanted to get this as a gift but couldnt preorder it at thebtime. And knowing nintendo they wont supply alot as it is.

 

[shanafan]

Breath of the Wild SE is ready for pickup at Best Buy. Woohoo.

Switch coming tomorrow though.

EDIT: Wait, it says tomorrow it is ready for pickup, lol.

Try Walmart, Target or BestBuy. They are all receiving shipments.

MyChoiceUPS just told me my package is coming from gamestop and will arrive tomorrow.

God do I love UPS mychoice!!!!!

This is good news. My Gamestop employee told me they ship out all orders at the same time and assured me mine should come tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Has anyone had their Amazon orders shipped yet? Mine says it'll arrive tomorrow, but hasn't shipped yet. I'm starting to get worried.

Mine just changed to Preparing for Shipment.

 

[darkazcura]

Best Buy Instore pick up flipped to ready to pick up officially.

Can't wait for midnight!!!

 

[gbpackers25]

The only thing I ordered online was 1 2 Switch and it finally got shipped out this morning

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

And now my target (grey) console unexpectedly shipped. Still waiting on that neon one tho.

 

[EDarkness]

Mine just changed to Preparing for Shipment.

Okay. That's good. I'll probably check later today to see if anything changes. If not, then I'll have to head to Fred Meyer to see if I can jump in on a possible midnight launch.

 

[sleepnaught]

BB showing preparing for a in store pickup for Zelda. I'm hoping I'll be lucky enough to pick it up at the Midnight launch

 

[Grimm Fandango]

And now my target (grey) console unexpectedly shipped. Still waiting on that neon one tho.

Mine did too. Arrival says Mon, Mar 6 - Thu, Mar 9

Bah oh well, I can wait.

 

[ncslamm]

Best Buy Instore pick up flipped to ready to pick up officially.

Can't wait for midnight!!!

Same. Except for my pro controller that still says preordered for some reason.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Yesss

Wonder if they'll let me pick them up today hmmm

They absolutely will not. All of my preorders say they're ready for pickup a day early. If you click around, there is a section that tells you it can't be picked up until tomorrow, though.

 

[hoserx]

And now my target (grey) console unexpectedly shipped. Still waiting on that neon one tho.

On WiiU launch, my target order never showed any progress, then magically showed up on my door at launch day. Haha.

 

[Kajiba]

My Master Edition shipped.

Switch is preparing shipping now. Also amazon took the money out my account too. Think I'm good.

 

[wanders]

Yup me too 😩

 

[Kaibutsu]

They absolutely will not. All of my preorders say they're ready for pickup a day early. If you click around, there is a section that tells you it can't be picked up until tomorrow, though.

Yeah the emails specifically say ready for pick up on March 03. Midnight is fine though if your store is open

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Okay. That's good. I'll probably check later today to see if anything changes. If not, then I'll have to head to Fred Meyer to see if I can jump in on a possible midnight launch.

All my experience with Amazon release-date delivery has gone like this. It always seems to ship later than you'd expect, and the status doesn't update for a long while. 99% of the time it still shows up on release date as expected.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

My Switch from Best Buy just shipped. Yay!

But Zelda and the Pro Controller have not. Boo!

 

[eculley]

GameStop order still showing open. A day before, I would at least expect it to say preparing or something else.

 

[awesome_pants]

Those who are getting the Switch shipped by UPS:
Highly recommend making a MyChoice UPS account as, pending on the state you live in, it may require a signature at the time of delivery.
Just got an email stating mine required a signature and updated it to just be dropped off without authorization.

HYPE!

 

[Thoraxes]

Crazy. Same for me all around. Well, at least it's a sign they're going to perhaps ship the damn thing on time, even if mine hasn't gone out yet.

It's coming via FedEx Overnight, so I guess you'll be good as long as it actually ships today.

 

[GPsych]

So after my Switch preorder was weirdly flipped from in-store pickup at Best Buy to being shipped to me it finally listed as "shipped" yesterday. However, the tracker number puts it on UPS Ground and it left Oklahoma City this morning (I live in the Denver area). I'm thinking no chance that it actually gets here tomorrow via UPS Ground...

 

[LotusHD]

Wii U version of Zelda is getting ready to ship, they charged me.

But the most important thing, the Switch itself, is still taking its damn time...

 

[K' Dash]

Amazing that a ton of people are getting their shit early and/or ready and I'm here waiting for the fucking console to ship, not only that, I'm importing, so I'll have to add 2-3 business days to get to me, ugh...

 

[Vidiot]

I wont feel safe until I have it in hand. Lol

where are you getting the system from?

 

[Malus]

I hope Walmart gets it together on my order today. Otherwise I'll try Fry's and midnight and if that doesn't work I'll be checking the stores tomorrow and potentially Sunday morning.

 

[JimJamJones]

C'mon GameStop - ship my Master Edition!

 

[_h8bit]

My Switch (Best Buy), Zelda, screen protector and backpack (Amazon) have all shipped or are shipping today. The only thing I've seen with zero movement so far is my Pro Controller from GameStop which I fully expect to not meet it's original 3/3 delivery date :/

 

[xochipiltontli]

Amazon still says that both Zelda and my Switch are preparing to ship and should get here by 8pm tomorrow... :/

 

[Raven117]

And mine are in transit!

 

[K' Dash]

where are you getting the system from?

Amazon, I have 4 other friends who's console already shipped to the same Florida address as mine, that's why I'm worried/upset.

 

[sonto340]

Just hoping and praying that the GameStop One Day Shipping actually only takes one day since it hasn't even shipped yet.

 

[Jeff Vader]

My Switch from Best Buy just shipped. Yay!

But Zelda and the Pro Controller have not. Boo!

Are you me? Because I'm in the exact same boat :O

 

[crooked spin]

My BB order is in Parsippany since 6 this morning, hoping it shows up on my doorstep this evening. Any other tri-state people getting a delivery today?
