Regarding preorders with Amazon, I would definitely start bugging customer service a day or two before release if a game hasn't shipped yet, since they may still be able to get it to you on time that way and my impression is their customer service is excellent while their preorder reliability isn't. I hope that helps.

Man their customer service has gone to shit too. I did exactly what you said when BOTW came out. My Master edition was never cancelled, but it was not shipping I called and everything.

Amazon ended up charging me the full amount, not shipping it and refunding me one week later. Everyone else got $10 buck for their cancellation I had the privilege to pay them for nothing. I am only pre-ordering with them because of the no charge thing because I can't afford a charge now.

In the past, they would give out a free month or make up some way.

 

[friskykillface]

Lol 69 pre orders
I remember I had two amiibos on two different accounts for my bro and I and we both got cancelled
Oh Amazon


Also remember people having 1 order of the zelda master edition and it got canceled

So inconsistent

Signed up if true.

 

[Frayed]

May I kindly ask the reasoning behind ordering so many consoles? I'm guessing you're trying to ensure the console don't go to scalpers, but just curious. (And eagerly in line for one of your consoles.) Thanks.

Look at his post history and then ask yourself if he's an altruistic soul or a trolling flipper.

I'd be hesitant because he's a junior member but if he does ask for money, pay with fees
DONT PAY WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY , YOU CANT GET YOUR MONEY BACK
Pay the extra $2 to ensure you get your money back if the deal falls through/ gets cancelled


By posting that pic / orders you'll see someone that lurks neogaf post it or complain to Amazon, this site gets lots of views

It's difficult to do so on mobile. I can't tell which conclusion you're indicating is the case. The few posts I found weren't indicative of anything bad.

Thank you so much for doing so. Hopefully I was one of those first 68 to PM you.

 

[FTF]

lol wow at Amazon not having a limit and that 69 unit order. It's nice that potentially 60+ gaf members are going to get one for list though.

Fast thread not catching every post. And I was at work. /shrug

We had our preorder wave months ago, if you missed those you might be out of luck.

 

[R-User!]

I will start replying to PMs once I am sure Amazon isn't cancelling these. Don't want to get people's hope up too early.

In the meantime folks should double down on their alt-tab>F5ing skills throughout today to raise their chances of scoring one from a retailer direct and in case all 68 of your extras get reduced to 1 per order; which you'd then have what 4 or 5 units total?

 

[spock]

I'd love one of the 69 consoles is there still 1 to spare. Much love & gratitude.

Hook me up.

 

[Fractology]

This has derailed into a begging thread from one post pages ago. Shouldn't this be about the preorder status and any listing updates?

Hook a brother up.

Im dead wrong

 

[evil ways]

Holy shit, Nintendo has literally reduced people to begging on their hands and knees to a complete stranger on a message board.

Preorders going up at 6 for retailers

6 what?

Any chance you still have one? Couldn't get a single pre-order through last night.

 

[maxcriden]

He's a Junior Member, take with the tiniest grain of salt.

I will. Thank you. I would only pay with the fee option since I've been burned before.

 

[kingbean]

I'm going to get caught refreshing pages on my phone at work.


Thank god I have a boring desk job that only requires constant output to keep the workflow going...

:/

 

[Brofield]

Yes, is there any news on the Canadian pre-orders?

 

[BobTheFork]

I need one. That seem like a lot of work for you

[FaidSint]

Preorders going up at 6 for retailers

Did you misread that Wario64 tweet too?

Preorders going up "at 6 retailers".

2 have gone up, 4 remain. No timeline yet.

 

[KevinG]

*Preorders going up at 6 retailers

 

[mjc]

He means there will be six retailers holding preorders, not a time.

 

[Thaedolus]

If you've got a list I'd like to be on it

 

[RootCause]

I'm in if I can't find one.

 

[Spacebar]

I think they read warios tweet wrong. It says preorders will go up for 6 retailers.

 

[jrcbandit]

Amazon has reduced multiple orders to 1 before, although I think having multiple 1 console orders might be safe. So that 60+ could be reduced to 5 or however many orders it was.

 

[Rocket786]

I'd love to get on this list!
