Hmm, I think was lower but I might be mistaken.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Yeah crossing my fingers, but it looks like those of us who still have have Walmart orders after that round of multiple quantity cancellations/reductions are probably in the clear.

For Canada. Says it goes up at 12pm est. I don't think it ships to the US or Quebec store. Never heard of the store so not sure how good they are.

My preorder is still holding strong! Hopefully it stays that way and it gets delivered on the supposed release date. Mine's still showing for Oct 6th.

nope not shipping to to the USA tried to change my region and it wouldnt let me
Originally they were RadioShack up here before Circuit City bought them out and now BCE (parent company of the telecom Bell Canada) owns them.

I wouldn't worry about it. K-Mart went bankrupt and never paid Nintendo for the Gamecube launch, but they had just as much stock as any other store.
This is live but site is getting rocked. Good luck!

Managed to add one to cart but asks for registration so I passed.

Got mine in. Never bought anything from the online section of the exchange. Hope they are timely and/or don't cancel.

During the Switch's launch I managed to pre-order one at Amazon (We have Prime) and one at Exchange and the one from Exchange showed up at my doorstep before Amazon even bothered to change the order status to "Preparing for shipment".
The Exchange is solid. I've never had an order cancelled and everything I've ordered is always shipped in nice packaging.

Awesome. I was able to make an account add payment etc all of 10 minutes after wario tweeted. Pretty neat.

Yea, that too. I've never received a beat up box and so far they always used ton of bubble wrap.
Yep... I've got no complaints with them. Tax-free and free shipping fee is also great
1 per order ... don't know if there was an account limit though

We should be in the clear by now, right? Today is the 2wk mark since the Walmart preorders went up.
This bullshit here is just unneeded anxiety.
Yeah, Walmart only checked my bank account once and nothing since. I'm not worried about the funds.

I'm just going to go to my local toys r us and wait in line. I did that for the switch and it worked out. Gaf tipped me off that they were getting a second shipment in and I got to the store a half hour before it opened. After I got mine a couple came in 20 minutes later and got the last 2 while I was paying.

Man the site crashes whenever I attempt to create a profile. What a shitshow indeed.
I knew this would happen the moment I saw the post saying they will be up at a specific time. Big mistake of the website to announce it ahead of time, of course it was going to buckle under the traffic. That's why Amazon and others didn't announce when preorders will go live. No servers can handle the attack of the bots, so why give them an advance notice?

I can't imagine the online store operators aren't too happy about this either. Think about it, that means that for most of the day, no one will be able to buy anything on the site. That's a day's worth of lost sales across the board. I'd like to see how the higher ups will react.

This is what I use: https://www.nowinstock.net/jp/
and I search on Amazon JP from time to time, since nowinstock can be a little late to add a listing especially for non-US countries. Here's a saved search on Amazon.co.jp for all products released by Nintendo, you can sort the results by release date, price, etc.

They're busy overhauling Whole Foods and building a second HQ.

J'ai réussi à en mettre un dans mon panier. Là je plante à l'étape de choisir un magasin où l'expédier.
(Parce qu'évidemment ils le livrent pas au Québec)
