I believe Priority Mail Express only may deliver on Sunday's.

Locally, you may just call or stop in to your particular post office and ask.

No, the post office delivers certain Amazon packages on Sundays and Priority mail express as well in certain high volume areas. As you said you need to call the local post office to see if they have this service available for their area.

So I got shipment and tracking info at 3:00AM EST. It's going through USPS and according to tracking it was packed and shipped at 6:00PM. Shipping from NJ to RI. As of right now no update about arriving at local post office for deliver. This might be a Sunday delivery.

Some dude said you can only charge in the dock. False, right? Presumably I can charge with a USB c cable right?

Guys, check Target. Their website tells you their availability at local stores. My local Target got some last night.

Just picked it up and am going to try and cancel my Amazon order.

Of course, you can use the same adapter on either the dock or the Switch.

Guaranteed rogue employee or rogue store, no one is being told to do that by the company.

Mine finally shipped via USPS last night. It was re-scheduled to arrive today, but it changed again and now says it'll be here tomorrow.

no update from Amazon

if it does not ship tomorrow I will cancel my order in the meanwhile downloading Wii U version of Zelda from eShop

Good luck cancelling they wouldn't let me as it has been in the final final stages of shipping for days. Says I can refuse delivery though for refund.

So Walmart finally shipped my Switch and I should get it on Monday. The good news is that Walmart emailed me apologizing for the delay and are giving me a $20 gift card to compensate. So that's good I guess.

After BestBuy cancelled my preorder, due to address issues.
I was able to walk-in to Target and pick one up. They had quite a few in-stock.

lol, Amazon easily let me cancel my order. Pretty sure they ran out and were waiting for a new batch to ship to me. Assholes.

Not going to shop on Amazon anywhere near as much as I used to. Definitely not bothering with them for pre-orders

So after the savage ass wife spent an hour on the phone last night with amazon not only getting me a full refund on the ms Zelda edition, she was able to have the supervisor do everything possible to get the switch out as soon as possible. Woke to a shipping confirmation to arrive tomorrow.

It's not a big big deal in the grand scheme, but the straw that broke the camels back was they were selling units yesterday while not fufilling all their pre orders. That just did not sit well with me.

I don't know exactly what happened over there, but I've been a prime member since day one, and nothing like this has ever happened. I would hope we get an explanation but I doubt it.

Mine shipped 1am 3/4, with a supposed delivery of 3/5. Anyone have any luck with a support chat in terms of getting credit or partial refund? I don't like to abuse the system but a free Fast RMX or 20 off 1 2 switch seems fair😈

Follow up!

So now my package, after sitting for over 18 hours in Columbus, is about 10 minutes away.

Where it will sit for the entire weekend as they're closed on the weekend.
How does Amazon justify using a shipping provider that is closed on the weekend.

Amazon has given me a 2nd $5 credit but at this point I'm just so burnt out.

Amazon finally shipped my switch last night. They said they would bump it up to weekend delivery so it would be here today. Looks like they were either just telling me that or UPS didn't get the memo, because it's still set for Monday. My package was only an hour away from me this whole time

I contacted amazon 5 times regarding my switch and BOTW SE, they told me it was guaranteed to be at my house before 8pm, it clearly didnt, they extended my prime membership a month and gave me a 100 dollar gift card. They also promised it would be here today at 12pm that also clearly didn't happen, but at least now it's shipped.

Lucky, all I got was a $10 credit and a delivery date for next week. Will definitely not choose them for further gaming items.

Guys my TV keeps switching to the hdmi where the switch is on even on sleep mode

Why?

Had to disconnect hdmi cable
Click to expand...

This is happening for me as well. Thought it was my cable, but I'm sure it is the switch. Almost like it continues to send a signal so often to the TV. Pretty damn annoying honestly. I like to know a fix other than just powering it completely off.

How do you even power it off completely?

If I opened and played it can I still return it to Best Buy? I am not feeling this thing at all right now. I'll keep my copy of Zelda or trade it in/sell it, but I should have just waited. If not oh well I guess it will collect dust.

Amazon did deliver on what they promised me in the end. It didn't only ship for today but also made it before 10AM like they said.

Sounds like applying pressure was the right choice since it looks like they are actually running out/low on units after the huge batch they pushed out last night.

Amazon had it on Prime Now last night so I placed an order for a 10am-12pm shipment, then at 11:14am the order gets canceled! Not even postponed or anything, I'm just getting nothing now. So that's cool.

Got my Switch and Zelda at 8:30AM. Been playing these past few hours. What a ride indeed. At least I got enough money from that CS rep to get the Zelda dlc for free lol

Normally I wouldn't think so, but there's no security tape on the box. Pack it up well and maybe they won't notice.

Call the customer service line and explain the situation.

First, though, I'd call the store back and see if someone else is there.
