PSA to all the people who ordered off amazon... (MAJOR DEVELOPMENT)

I just checked my bank account and it looks like Amazon charged my card recently. Still not shipped but I’m hoping this means that my order will be ready soon.
 
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.

I see the charge this morning hehe darn
 
i didn't order from amazon, i ordered from GAME in the uk and i had my order placed since 31st of january.. i'm expecting it to arrive on friday - i was charged yesterday, and they let me know that they began to process and pack my order, as of today my package is still unshipped!

i know they aren't the same company but it might give you some encouragement that your amazon order might arrive on friday or around the same time? :)
 
It arrived!! finally! but i also wasn't charged.

That's amazing! Still no shipment on mine. I talked to a customer support and asked if they could do one day shipping in case it doesn't ship until tomorrow but they said no. Let's see what happens.

So glad yours shipped though! Hoping for a bit of luck myself.

edit: fingers crossed that they dont charge you, free switch would be nice.

I've run into this problem preordering figures from Amazon, even. A businessman I know called it "drop-shipping." Basically if you're preodering off of Amazon, you may actually be ordering from a third party that then tells Amazon how much they need. Orders get dropped all the time because in this way, the third party makes money and Amazon can absolve all responsibility. I may not be explaining it well, but look up drop-shipping if you like and you'll see what I mean.

I'd advise everyone to never preorder from Amazon ever again. They just don't care about your order. They will tell you over and over again that it's coming, and then on the day it's supposed to arrive, they send you an email saying it'll be pushed back a month.
 
Just keep an eye on your account. They're certain to charge it at some point. Also, the system is amazing, isn't it?

Will do, and yes!!! I love it! It’s taking a while to set it up but I love it.

Thank you so much! I am crossing my fingers for you to get yours ASAP! I know we all need it by the 20th

Every single retailer bungled preorders this time around. Amazon wasn't my first choice, I had ordered two from Target on release day and they ended up getting cancelled.

It finally shipped. Got an ETA of March 21st, but it’s better than nothing. Now I just have to figure out what I’ll do. Will probably just start my island on my older switch.
 
I feel insanely lucky to have gotten mine. Say it with me. No more pre orders from Amazon.
