Nintendo Store Uk early delivery?

I was a bit nervous at first about canceling my order from Nintendo, but game has it all ready to go, and they said they have a lot of cards as well. Then I pre ordered my album from amazon instead, and my mom just got the kit from gamestop and they even gave her the poster with it

Deffinately worked out for the better. But if other people have said the xl is departing and yours isn't I'd go to game if you can, Nintendo phone line is incredibly busy (I wonder why >▪>)

Dispatching *

May I ask for the link to the kit with the poster? ^^

It's not online :/ (that I know of) my mom lives in America so she just found it at gamestop, and she said the guy had a few posters just sitting there

When she got me 2 packs of cards though she said they had tons of them sitting there, I'm guessing no none in that area really cares for the game ><
 
I'm pretty sure the "estimated delivery date" is a way of covering their backs in case the courier delays it. You should get it tomorrow, if the courier does what they are supposed to do (and what they have been paid to do). And if your local Hermes delivery person is anything like mine, you will get it tomorrow.

Ah I hope so! I think Hermes person who delivers for me is nice, don't usually have them deliver. Hopefully my cards will arrive tomorrow too. :)
 
Update from my mother* saying cards arrived at her place! She says Yodel only posted it halfway through the letterbox and didn't even knock on the door! Wow.

* I moved a couple weeks ago and couldn't bring myself to cancel the preorder for risk of them overselling and not being able to fulfil all preorders. Thankfully didn't happen!
 
Extremely, extremely worried, my game's status is still awaiting stock pick :(:( should I hope that they haven't updated it yet or just give up with getting it tomorrow and expect it mid-next week?? This is my first time ordering from the official Nintendo store and I doubt I'll do it again. I'm not too bothered with the kit, I'd just like my game.
I messaged yesterday with my concerns but they reassured me I'll get it for release date.

They are a little slow at updating the website. Emails are a more reliable source. I got all dispatch emails through there before they updated on the website.

When did you order the game?

I haven't received any dispatch e-mails or anything regarding the game apart from the e-mail about the freebies. I ordered the game on the 19th September too.

No one really knows what's going on with Nintendo since they tend to tell different people different stories. At the end of the day you may or may not get it, I hope you do :/ they told me it could be until the evening until you receive an email or update, which is a bit unfair since after 5 there not many places you can change your pre order too. Check your bank account as well as emails, if they've charged you it means they've dispatched it (hopefully)

As far as I can tell they're sending them out in the order they received the orders. e.g. the amiibo card order I placed in August was shipped 19hrs before the one I placed in September. They can still ship late at night (my first amiibo card order shipped at around 8:30pm) so there's still a chance it'll get sent out today and if you're lucky it might go out next day shipping.

For people who've said this is their first time ordering from the Nintendo Store it's not usually like this! I frequently order from them and often have very good luck with them - even getting stuff early!

Ah, okay, thank you! I don't mind waiting for the game it's just I'm pretty eager to play it, it's also annoying as the delivery is my work address so if it arrives on Saturday I'll have to wait. Well, finger crossed it gets sent out tonight!
Thank you for all the help!

**Just checked and it was updated to awaiting despatch!! Hopefully that means I'll get it tomorrow, fingers crossed!

I NEEDED mine tomorrow evening at latest as I have a road trip the next day, and what was i meant to do, talk to people in the car? XD
 
Tomorrow is my day off and I've deliveries coming from Amazon and Argos too (that I timed to come tomorrow due to already having to wait in for the N3DS!) so hoping the console comes on the release date. Post office is a bit of a trek (25 min walk one-way) so don't want to miss it.

Cards coming late is okay... I live a fifteen minute walk from GAME, and there's a Game Centre within five minutes of GAME hehe.

Haha :')
And I hope mine comes tomorrow D: I don't think I can wait any longer >.<
 
My game has been dispatched, thank gosh! Although it says that it should be expected on or before the 6th, I just hope they put that on there just in case there's a late delivery they can't be late. At least I can breathe now! :D:)
 
I'm sooooooooooo impressed with the Nintendo UK store, shipped my product late last night (unless it was earlier and they didn't update) and it's coming today. HAPPY HHD RELEASE DAY TO ALL FELLOW AC FANS, WE'VE ALL WAITED SOO LONG FOR TODAY :D

Mine got dispatched yesterday as well in the end! (woo, aha.) Tracking only comes up with Order Generated as of 17:50 yesterday so no idea whether it'll come today but all I can do is hope for the best - hope everyone else waiting has theirs arriving today!

Exact same for me. Said that five hours ago the console was on way to courier so I've high hopes for today!

Just got a text from Royal Mail that cards are coming today! Now I'm going back to sleep.
 
Just checked the RM tracker and it says they've received it (at 1:23am), hopefully I'll get it for today! If not I'll have to wait until Monday, used my work address, which will very inconvenient.
