From what I'm seeing the people who ordered on Feb 4th (which was the very first day the console was available on Amazon) are the ones that are being affected most. I'm too tired to keep fighting with them about it right now. But I work night shift and will probably annoy them some more at night if Im bored.
PSA to all the people who ordered off amazon... (MAJOR DEVELOPMENT)

That is so unfair. What was the whole point of the preorder, right?
All the best to you.

I contacted them again.... This person stuck to the same story as the other person. Said that there was a delay with the order but that it should arrive by March 19th. I'm not getting my hopes up, but the fact that two different people told me the same thing might mean that they're actually telling the truth.
I'll try not to think about it as I wait. Worst case scenario I'll just get a regular switch and apply some decals to it or something.
Best of luck to you as well

Came in to report the same issue. I can’t believe it. They used the same tact with me, down to the part where they blamed Chase.
I also pre ordered from amazon (first batch of pre-orders same as you I think when they first put it up on amazon), but I noticed that they have not billed my credit card or shipped the item when all other resellers we're already shipping theirs.
I went to panic mode and woke up early at 5 AM to go stand in line at 6 AM at target on release day amidst the corona virus craze. Lucky for me (?) I was the first one, in fact there were only me and 3 other people going in for the switch. Everyone else went to the food section...
I cancelled my amazon pre-order just yesterday. When I checked, they have not shipped the item but said delivery is March 17th Tuesday. It was also pending in my credit card (Chase). I have a feeling I would have been in the same situation.
If only I had seen this thread earlier so I wouldn't cancel and see how AMZ would handle it.
I'm really sorry this is happening to you and many others.

Heyo, just chiming in to say that I'm in the same boat. Preordered on Amazon on Feb 4th, with a Chase card. Says arriving tomorrow by 8 p.m. (17th) but still has not shipped. I'm fairly close to fulfillment centers here though, so same day shipping is completely plausible. Just gonna wait and see. Just a shame though. I'm sure I'm not the only one needing this pick me up atm. Granted, there's far worse things happening around the world right now... First world problems, right? hang in there guys.
hang in there guys.

I agree, I am in the exact same boat, but I always feel bad for feeling bad because of the worst things going on in the world. I won't belittle it but there are more important things :/
It’s okay to feel bad, just because someone has it worse than you do doesn’t mean you can’t feel bummed out. Have you heard anything from Amazon? I’m still waiting on this supposed March 19th restock to see if they do anything for me.
A few people on Reddit mentioned that Amazon offered them free overnight shipping for their inconvenience so I tried to get the same tonight, but the employee that I talked to said that they couldn’t do that for me. Maybe you’ll have better luck in that department.

Ah! Good news! My order shipped last night around 10:30! Maybe there's hope for others!

Hmm.. The time for estimated delivery is changing though. Usually something shipped from the fulfillment center near me comes same day, but because of the virus panic, looks like it will arrive more like late Wednesday or Thursday.
glad to hear this! gives me a little bit of hope
may i ask: when did they charge your card?

Mine hasn’t shipped yet, but I’m happy to hear that you guys have had yours shipped. I don’t mind when it arrives even if it’s after the 20th, just as long as I eventually get it that’s all that matters. I ordered two copies of NH, a NA one and a JP one so if my switch isn’t here for the midnight release I’ll just use the special switch for my JP island

Youre I think the third person I’ve talked to who had theirs shipped but no charges. I wonder if Amazon messed up and is giving these for free or if you’ll be charged later.
