Did you not apply the promo code at checkout and get confirmation of the discounted price? Assuming you're talking about the promo code "KPAJ9" which is 10% off on electricals btw.
Nice. What £10 discount though?
I just asked the guy if I could place a new order at £1.99 cus I saw it listed at the price earlier and he said no. Not really a big deal tbh, I'll just not get the game til it comes down a bit in price.
The bigthanks discount code presumably.
BIGTHANKS has finished now, right?
LmaoYeah. These cancellations of orders are more NOTHANKS
So what day is everyone who has pre-ordered expecting to be charged?
I get paid on the 28th. Should be good shouldn't I?
Has anyone on here got experience with Nintendo Store? Specifically what they are like with exchanges and returns?
Don't worry, it'll probably be cheaper by then. Hold out until Xmas. I reckon this'll tank in the UK after the core Nintendo buyer rush.Disappointing but not unexpected, just cancelled my Switch (and Mario Kart) pre-order as well, so I'm totally out now. Still looking to buy one perhaps in the Summer with Splatoon 2 or Christmas with Mario, hope everyone else enjoys it in the meantime.
I've returned a couple of damaged items to them before with no issue, it is run by 'The Hut Group' though so you might want to keep that in mind.
What's this for, the Switch console? I cancelled my pre-order for the grey last week (placed on Switch conference day in Jan), pre-ordered the neon (for 3rd March). This evening I change my mind and decided I want the grey instead, pre-ordered on Amazon UK in the past hour and it's showing as launch day delivery. Going to cancel the neon.I've not heard of the hut group, do they own a few companies with dodgy return policies?
The reason exchange policy is important to me is because I tend to be picky lol. I've got a pre-order with Amazon but the delivery will be on the 10th of March!! It was showing the 3rd earlier on.
Customer service are unable to do anything, and don't know why it's suddenly changed. Unfortunately for me the person on the phone sounded like a robot and was clearly reading from a script.
Using the info a few days back in this very thread, I've just opened an account with Very and placed my first order: for the Switch + Zelda +1 2 Switch.
According to their website first order should get 20% off. Guess what? - it didn't work.
So I phoned and spoke to an advisor who, after 20 minutes, said he had applied the discount. I went back online a few minutes later to check and he hadn't.
Then I went onto live chat (to get it all in writing) which was a complete waste of half an hour as she/he did not have a clue and finished by saying she would escalate it but it could take 14 working days for anybody to get back to me. I explained that was too late as it would have been despatched by then and so too late to cancel the order if Very refused to honour the discount. I said I wanted transferring to a supervisor. Not possible she said, I would have to phone up.
So I phoned Very again and asked to speak to a supervisor, the person I spoke to wouldn't do that unless I explained the problem, which I did - in great detail. She agreed I was due a discount but she couldn't apply it because the system wouldn't allow her to do it. She said she would escalate it and that someone would phone me within 5 working days to confirm what action had been taken. Why do these companies make everything such hard work. Anyway, watch this space...

EDIT: tend to be picky, eh? You're OCD like me ;-)
Heads up for anyone who used BIGTHANKS on Amazon:
I noticed my order was coming up at £48 instead of around £38
Had to speak to a rep and make sure I would be charged my original invoice. Advising everyone else to check their accounts in case.

if it drops below a combined cost of £50, the code auto removes, so make sure you are enough over £50. I combined mine with the £20 case I wanted anyway. It's possible they'll drop Zelda slightly more before release.

The code didn't auto remove - it's weird. Bought a shitty ruler to bump up the price, got an invoice through straight after my purchase showing the price post-code, then when I logged in a few days ago I noticed it said I would be charged £48.
Had to bring it up with a rep who was really useful, but I'm not sure why it suddenly changed!
I got a grey switch, Zelda and 1-2-switch preordered... But I'm not sure if I should get Bomberman R or not
While it's probably not good to think like this, especially for a series that's just been revived from the dead, Bomberman R looks like a likely candidate for price drop in the near future.I got a grey switch, Zelda and 1-2-switch preordered... But I'm not sure if I should get Bomberman R or not
12 and a half days left. Hoping GAME send out emails next week to let people know if they're gonna be getting the console day 1 or not.
They won't. They promised weekly updates that never happened.
We'll get an email at some point saying they'll be taking the money a week beforehand probably before Thursday and if you're not getting it at launch, you just won't get one.
Damn, and I thought I was picky. Stick to Amazon then, even if it comes late. They usually don't mess you around with returns.Yeah it's for the Switch console. I tried a pre-order for the Neon and that shows as the 3rd. Grey is showing as the 10th though. Customer service were useless.
Yeah really picky, the main reason I can see me wanting an exchange is if there's a lot of backlight bleed. I went through a few Wii U's because of the gamepad lol
The ideal for me is a retailer that will exchange with no questions asked, the nightmare for me is a retailer that needs to "test it" as they're likely not going to be as picky as me and deem there to be no issue.
Another potential is fan noise, no one really knows what that's gonna be like. It's bad that I'm already thinking of faults but I'd rather have the peace of mind just incase.
That's why the likes of Apple are good, as anything you buy can be exchanged for any reason at all.
Hmm, several times livechat have told me they will let people know in advance of launch, but now you have me concerned :/

MK8 has reduced on Amazon which may explain some of the BIGTHANKS codes not working.
Sweet, down to £42. With the 8 bit link Amiibo and BIGTHANKS that means I'm paying £33.97 for MK8.
Was going to cancel my pre order purely because I would only be getting it for Zelda and have too many games on my plate as it is. But now back on the fence because I'm a sucker for new tech and I can afford it. Only thing swaying me is the thought of a "special edition". What are the chances of a Zelda/Mario themed Switch console coming out this year? Never bought anything other than a standard console but really liked the design of the Wii U and 3DS Zelda editions
Another forum user on a different forum, posted this, Switch adverts in Sainsbury's
Don't know if it is on a recurring loop or not i'm not sure, but either way that be the first Tv Ad i've seen. (Second hand)
that seems odd. i wonder why they are putting a switch advert on display TVs?

I'm still yet to see a single bit of advertising for the switch here in the uk. Seems strange 2 weeks from launch
Yep very strange
Nothing on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram feeds or on TV adverts.
Perhaps they are waiting until Mario Kart 8 to have a bigger presence in the marketing department. Hopefully by then they have basic features like Netflix and YouTube ready.

??
Youtube and Facebook have been full of them
Is there still no way to pay off preorders early on Amazon? I was going to apply a gift card to my order but when I did that for Rock Band 4 they put me to the back of the list of orders cause I "changed my order".
nope the only way is applying the gift card. i was gonna do it because i hate having money in my bank and not being able to spend it. i'd rather just pay it straight away. i'm not touching my order just incase it delays it.
