So I've been waiting for it to arrive all day, school and work recently got cancelled due to Corona for 2 weeks, and I've been hyped like nothing else all day for Amazon to ship it. Hours go by, until I eventually looked at my package tracking, and it had just been shipped a couple hours before I checked. Now that it's been shipped I can't cancel, and go buy it from retail or digital meaning I may have to wait even longer. How's everyone's NH island going? Haha.....
 
That’s so awful! I was paranoid about something like that happening so I made the decision to go digital a few weeks ago, but nobody could’ve anticipated the strain the virus is putting on shipping times.

True that, I buy 90% of my games physical, but I might've gone digital considering the portable nature of Animal crossing lol
 
To be honest, I was kind of in the same situation as you. From what I remember, Amazon used to treat preordered games in the manner that you would receive them the day of release. Lately though, I've been lucky if they ship out preorders the day of release, let alone me receiving them that day. I checked this morning and my game wasn't even shipped yet, so I cancelled my order and went and picked up a copy from gamestop.
 
Video games are lower on Amazon's priority list at the moment. They are prioritising shipping household essentials and medications because people need these things far more urgently right now.

If you don't want to wait you could always buy a digital copy on the eShop or a physical copy in-store and return the copy from Amazon (or some couriers allow you to refuse it at the door and start the returns process for you). As long as it is still sealed Amazon will refund it for you.
