Card has been charged but it's been 20 minutes with order page/order history not showing and no email.

Mine was October 9th so maybe that's why...?

Shoot, the order I got in is also October 9th. Hope that's not a bad omen. If there's no email by the next hour or so... then I'll start expecting a cancellation,

I guess this could be the same thing Amazon pulled off? Posting a separate page listing to divert scalpers?
How does it combat scalpers when you can still order more than one?

Also, is the way retailers are going list preorders going forward? Secret listings?

I have a feeling they messed up again. Which is completely ridiculous because I already got burned by them once.

Have a pending charge on my account. How do these holds work exactly were they just checking if I had the money and then it undoes and charges again at shipping?

Man, never got close to an NES Classic and now I've got two SNES Classic preorders (one at Target, one at Walmart). Figured I'd grab the second preorder since I'll have friends who don't manage to get one and I can give it to them at cost.
 
When I got mine I just went to the same page that I had bookmarked from this past Monday. After a couple refreshes I was able to order it. Got my email and it is showing in my order history so hopefully it sticks.

Opposite issue here. I have 2 NES classics. One unopened still. Having ridiculous time getting one SNES classic.
 
YES!! Got one and the confirmation e-mail!!!!! Order History was updated also! Really hope it goes through since I missed out on the NES Classic.....*crosses fingers*
 
Literally have no charge, email, or recent order appearance :( I have the confirmation number, but I'm not surprised since I did it ~4 minutes post this thread being posted up. Oh well :/

EDIT: CONFIRMATION EMAIL RECEIVED - STAY COOL Y'ALL. It'll come~
 
Based on the fact that you could order 12, so many people were able to get orders in, most people are not getting emails or order history, and the weird title, I am guessing this was a mistake

Maybe some sort of internal listing that accidentally went public?

I got a thank you confirmation for ordering within 5 minutes of them going up.

I moved on with my life and now I notice I never got an email. My account shows no order. WTF?!?!!

Fucking WALMART

Mine shows October 6th but got no email yet, orders page unchanged, and only a charge on my card.


edit: Welp, I shall eat my words, email received.

Literally how crazy would it be if walmart, one of the biggest retailers in the US, screwed this up twice.

The first time they put the order up a month early and didn't offer anything to the people that got burned.

They wildin over there.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!

Welcome to the club. I even printed my receipt page showing the order# and delivery date estimate, but no email, no order history, but Walmart gladly took my money.

You could probably work a trade with your extra NES Classic. If none of my friends decides they want the SNES (unlikely), I'll probably be seeing if I can trade someone the extra SNES Classic for an NES Classic.
