Switch 2 UK retailers already report sellouts

I pre ordered with Amazon UK and it says arriving Saturday... anyone with amazon uk seeing the same?
Yep. Preordered one from them ages ago and it always had the 7th as delivery date. Same for the accessories. Not sure why, but that's how it is.

I managed to get one from ShopTo that should get here tomorrow, so I'm probably canceling the Amazon preorder.
 
Just got my DPD tracking number from Argos, arriving tomorrow. Let's go!

Edit - ahahaha it's for the pro controller, not the console itself godammit

Just got two text message from Argos with DPD tracking, one for the pro controller and one for the SD card, hopefully the switch text will follow soon, the case is arriving from my Nintendo store via Royal Mail tracked.
 
Just spoke to Amazon live chat, not promising


Since the item is not yet released, the estimated delivery date will not be accurate.


Once the item is released, the estimated delivery date will be confirmed via email, and it will be much sooner than Saturday, June 7.


Kindly wait for the product to be released by tomorrow, and you will receive a confirmation email with the actual delivery date.


And to ensure that the order is delivered to you with no delays, I already marked it from my end as a high priority delivery, please rest assured.


I will also send you a confirmation email with all what we have discussed.


May I ask you have I managed to solve your query for today?


but its released tomorrow so surely it gets sent out today

Not at all, the fulfillment team will receive the 1st batch of the item on the same release date, tomorrow, June 5, that's why the actual delivery



On a plus note Mubarit from Amazon has put my delivery on high priority, have that suckers.

"I already marked it from my end as a high priority delivery, please rest assured."

They always say that, this is bullshit they cannot do that.
 
Helps having the DPD app as well. Any deliveries in the system linked to your email or address will pop up as soon as they're scanned.
Yeah I use it regularly, its not showing up there and the tracking number they've provided is showing as invalid. Obviously not been scanned yet.

Final strech now, I reckon we'll get notification from Argos within the next couple of hours.

Gamecube contoller coming tomorrow from nintendo, pro 2 controller from argos, but switch 2 nowhere to be seen. Amazon still says Saturday. It's a bit annoying as I ordered on the 4th of April via invite and was given the 7th from the very start, yet if I ordered recently, the date was given as the 6th. Still not the 5th, but better than the 7th. I still go a 1% hope they dispatch it tonight, but looks like no one is getting it tomorrow from amazon as the earliest seems indeed the 6th

Mine is coming tomorrow.
 
Mine is coming tomorrow.
Enjoy! It's not the end of the world if I get it on Saturday, but a bit disappointed becasus they delivered my ps4 and ps5 on launch, plus i wont have much time on Saturday as its the 14th anniversary and the wife wouldn't be too happy if i was just sitting there and playing games :)

Isn't the end of the world like you said but fomo is lame. I ordered mine on the 5th of April too a day after you, seems a bit silly.
 
Amazon should always be last resort when it comes to expensive tech items. I still remember when my Macbook Air miraculously disappeared a couple of years back. Something that never happened before or since.

Or they might replace your PS5 with a himalayan salt lamp.
 
Erm, think the emails from argos are borked, just got one saying delivery will be 12th of June....
But I have tracking in DPD, at the local depot.

Bit annoying as I can click and collect from the local sainsburys right now if I wanted.

I think it's because Argos normally use their own courier. However, in the switch case it's different so their systems aren't set up for the right info. Mine is with DPD today.
 
Since amazon let me down, i checked argos and they had the Mario bundle in stock. Ordered it, went to collect it. Nobody in the store, no Q and now on the way home with the switch 2. Why bother with pre-order stress :)

where do you live? my local argos sold out within minutes lmao
 
Wasn't sure if I was going to buy at launch but decided yesterday I may as well. Rocked up and bought one at Smyths. So refreshing not going through the whole delivery nonsense. Good luck to those who do, but I think I'd use Smyths again based on last night.

The dispatch date on my email is showing as the 30th May, so I think the 3-5 days is based from that as opposed to yesterday.

I'm still waiting for an estimated delivery time from DPD. Pro controller has arrived at my nearest hub, but the console hasn't yet.
 
Amazon UK has bundles and standalone consoles available for order today, delivery tomorrow. So much for shortages!

My three closest Argos have stock of both switch 2 packs and all accessories, either Nintendo stock piled them or they just created panic with people unable to preorder so when they see them available the hope they rush and panic buy
Although glad they in stock everywhere , as hope all the eBay scalpers get stuck with consoles they got
