Finally received the confirmation e-mail. Hopefully, it isn't cancelled.

 

[Big Green Anus]

Does Wal-Mart charges when preordering?

 

[Bringer Of Bacon]

I'm happy, but still skeptical. They weren't open for as long as last time, but still seems like a lot of peeps got orders in. Is it real? Or just a dream?

 

[amnesiac]

If you forgot to screen cap your confirmation number you can actually just go into your history and pull up the page

Just did it and it worked just in case you need it


It should be labeled Thank You

Thanks for this.

 

[shtolky]

Ordered one two minutes after getting NowInStock notification. Have a pre-authorization on my card. No email. I'll be patient. Doesn't look fake to me since emails are trickling out.


Edit: Literally got the email just as I posted this. They will come, just be patient.

 

[ASaiyan]

Just got an email for my accidental second order (which I was thankfully able to cancel). That one took about 20 minutes after the charge appeared on my card. Again people, if you got a confirmation number just sit tight, it should show up, lol.

 

[Zeeman]

OK, close to 45 minutes later, but got the confirmation email, delivery Oct. 6. Now let's see what happens.

 

[Iacobellis]

Got my confirmation email and the order is now in my account history. Estimated delivery date is October 3rd.

 

[Instro]

Well I got one order confirmation just now.

 

[Syriel]

People HAVE gotten confirmation emails

No one is here has gotten a cancellation email yet

I wouldn't worry until then

Lies.

I'm watching some dude periscope hurricane Harvey for 15 mins and I come back to this...

They do a pre-authorization charge to make sure you have the money to cover it. Then the cash goes back until the item ships. Usually takes 2-3 days.

The NIS alert email was 11 minutes old when I saw it. I clicked on the link, not expecting to get anything. The Flying Spaghetti Monster smiled on me today, however! I was able to place an order! It took a little while, but I got my confirmation e-mail a few minutes ago and the orders are showing in my order history. I also double checked my credit card's website and saw the pending charge.

The last SNES Classic is in captivity. I am at peace.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Confirmation email, order history, it all checks out. This might really happen. Either way, thanks for the tip-off, OP!

 

[lord_of_flood]

I got the confirmation email on one of the orders (I placed a second one in panic lol), but both of them have shown up in my order history, so that's good. Requested a cancellation on the second order, hopefully WalMart doesn't cancel the first one too.

 

[motherxwolf]

Lies.

that means they put their credit card info wrong tho?

 

[BTA]

Still nothing after almost 40 minutes.

Gonna stop wasting time worrying and check back in a bit.

 

[ViciousDS]

Lies.

Why do I have a sad feeling that I am almost an hour waiting and I'm going to get this fucking email even though it's sitting on my card and my information is correct because I just checked it

 

[Vidiot]

Got the email. However when it comes to limited Nintendo stuff I don't have it until it's in my hands.

 

[crap monkey]

Wow, I actually manged to get one. Thank you NowInStock text alert holy fucking shit. Can't believe it. Thought I would miss out when the bestbuy/amazon orders went up.

Anyone know if I can convert to an in store pick up? I got a Walmart across the street from my job and I can grab it on the way home.

 

[Smidget]

Got an email for one! Woo!

 

[Syriel]

that means they put their credit card info wrong tho?

No, it doesn't.

That's a generic Wal-mart cancel message. Same message that was used last month.

And it was a credit card on file.

Wal-mart likely oversold.

 

[CambriaRising]

Lies.

That just means they couldn't verify your card fam.

 

[Kenai]

No email for my bf yet but we are hopeful, by the time my OW match was done was too late for me.

 

[RampagingSoul]

Got the email. However when it comes to limited Nintendo stuff I don't have it until it's in my hands.

Pretty much, sadly...

 

[Jerkapotamus]

I'll be pretty surprised if orders all go through. Seems unlikely Walmart got so many more preorders than other retailers, which came and went much quicker.

 

[Anoregon]

Still nothing after almost 40 minutes.

Gonna stop wasting time worrying and check back in a bit.

Same. At this point I'm just expecting nothing. Bank account is showing the charges pending but that doesn't really mean anything, it can be canceled at any time.

What about if you did it through the twitter app? I clicked through Wario's link

 

[Samurien]

No order confirmation email here, I did do a chat with customer service and they can see the order but it's in the process of being created (no idea what that means).

 

[buttdiver]

It's dead? but...but...I was only gone 30 minutes to eat dinner...

 

[MrMephistoX]

Like others have said, it took about 10 mins but I just got the confirmation email and it shows in my order history.

I got the order confirmation.

 

[greenhadoken]

Got my email and recent order update after almost 45 minutes, be patient people. Also hopefully Walmart actually honors this

 

[zeioIIDX]

Just got my email!! Please let this mean I'm getting an SNES Classic. Pretty please. Says it arrives on the 6th of October for me.

 

[SpikeDaPenguin]

*Phew* Was holding my breath for too long. My confirmation email came in and it's now on my order page!

Thank you so much OP!

 

[ChrisV]

Ordered within 2 minutes of the tweet...no email and no order in my history. Not looking good.

 

[motherxwolf]

how does wario64 find these things out man? lmao bless the guy

 

[Like the hat?]

I did it. When it showed up I was able to take a screenshot right before the page refreshed and it disappeared. Ugh.

Edit ah got my email! Please be true

 

[TheNotoriousAFG]

If I got the email and everything but don't see the holding charge on my account yet, is that normal?

 

[Brandon F]

Ordered before there was even a first post in this thread. Still no email or history update...

 

[nocturnedelight]

Put in an order 2 for. When no immediate confirmation email or account history, and i deleted the page, I put in an order for 1. Maybe 45 minutes later, got the confirmation email and account history for the 1.

Not bad.

 

[never nervous]

Ordered with paypal and my confirmation email just came through. Also showing on my order history.

 

[Novel Mike]

Lies.

I got the same email, was the same card I used to order when they popped up in July and had no problems then. I have a pending charge on that card as well. I call BS.

 

[Blueblur1]

I put an order in when Wario made the second tweet. Still no confirmation email or order in my order history. 😰😰😰

 

[LowParry]

I'm guessing using PayPal as a payment was a bad idea. Still no confirmation other than PayPal's transaction.

 

[Arment]

2 orders, 1 email, 1 showing up in order history. We shall see. Happy to have gotten at least on order. Not sure why I didn't do both on the same order, but they were for different people and if one cancelled on me I don't plan on keeping it.

 

[Instro]

PayPal is always a bad idea for this sort of thing from what I've seen.

 

[ViciousDS]

After almost 1 hour


I got my email and it's in my account now

Ok

Now just don't get canceled

 

[br3wnor]

Have the email and it's in my order history, fingers crossed but I was part of the past cancelled Walmart preorder so I'm hesitant.

 

[DarkKyo]

It's dead? but...but...I was only gone 30 minutes to eat dinner...

Basically take a break from your life if you want one a chance at of these :/

 

[jrcbandit]

Got email in confirming my order. I have orders at various sites, but I don't trust any of them until I have it in hand.. I have to imagine at least one of them will come through lol, but I really distrust Walmart after the initial pre-order fiasco.
