Wait will it ship to a foreign address?

No, but there is Shop and Ship in Japan

 

[flatearthpandas]

Still just errors for me. But almost to labi so hopefully that's okay lol. Godspeed guys

 

[Owari]

Wait will it ship to a foreign address?

it will with Tenso.

 

[vilmer_]

I don't even know if the Japanese Nintendo store ships internationally. I don't even remember my Tenso account details at this point.

E: Tenso, we meet again.

 

[Naked Snake]

You guys are having more luck than me, I could't get any page to load so far

 

[ASIS]

No, but there is Shop and Ship in Japan

NAKED SNAKE!!!! Don't tempt me!!!!

 

[Naked Snake]

NAKED SNAKE!!!! Don't tempt me!!!!

It's much cheaper than Europe too, cheaper than the US even

 

[kubus]

I swear, if all my items have disappeared from my cart when the site goes back up....! >_<

At least I've finished adding my credit card

I hope they accept foreign credit cards, if this works I'm switching to the Japanese one no question.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

those preorders dont open until later this week / next week tho

Indeed, it will be available on 27th. So now will try to grab a Zelda grab deluxe edition.

Nobody knows yet... nobody can even get the site to work.

 

[georly]

I just want blue joy-cons & blue straps.

I think walmart.com has them (if you're in the US, dunno if they ship internationally)

Did you see if it allows foreign billing address?

 

[Owari]

HOLY SHIT I GOT IN THE CART

 

[Naked Snake]

The bloodbath is real.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

I'm Super Dead.

 

[kubus]

Did you see if it allows foreign billing address?

It only asked for name, cc number, expiration date and security code. Nothing else, though they might still ask for billing address at checkout maybe?

Btw some people on twitter actually already managed to buy stuff...

 

[Naked Snake]

Yeah I'm thinking by the time the site is working for me they'll be all sold out.

 

[ASIS]

I keep getting the dinosaur..

I'll try for a little while, otherwise I'm gonna stick with what i have

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Did someone find out if they will charge the credit card when they will ship ?

 

[Owari]

ugh I was on the cart now it kicked me off

 

[Naked Snake]

What kind of customization does it allow?

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Someone outside Japan, manage to access ?

 

[Owari]

What kind of customization does it allow?

Basically the straps and joy-con, with the all games and extras.

 

[Dr.Tentacle]

still see that cute godzilla.

 

[Masked Man]

No luck on the JP site yet. :/

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

It's been half an hour since other people completed their orders and I'm still looking at a bunch of error pages.

 

[ASIS]

nah... still see that cute godzilla.

Oh it's godzilla? now it makes sense.

Anyway I'm headed to bed, can't be bothered. The site is just not working.

 

[kubus]

Checked out the FAQ since the site is dead, they added some new stuff:

- No international delivery confirmed (as if there was any doubt)
- You can't cancel orders
- Shipping costs 540 yen but orders above 5,399 yen are shipped free of charge.

Great :/

Are there addresses i can set up to get it shipped to me afterwards? Any services like that?

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Almost one hour and nothing.

Let's see for how much scalpers will resell the Zelda Deluxe edition.

 

[Naked Snake]

Who completed it?

People on Twitter

 

[flatearthpandas]

Yay, Labi did still have preorders. Never got beyond the dinosaur on the website.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Who completed it?

People on twitter, over half an hour ago.

 

[Pagusas]

This explains why companies use to put region locks in. Never thought about it before until this thread.

I wonder if Nintendo sees a large amount imported due to the price if they will rethink locking hardware down in the future.

I suspect that the reason Nintendo didn't go with region locking this time was only because they didn't have time to properly implement it. A lot of aspects of the Switch seem incomplete and it's clearly a rushed launch to meet their financial cycle. Luckily I don't think they will add region lock later, that would cause a huge outrage.

I hate kaizyuu.

I doubt that's the reason. Iwata mentioned reconsidering their stance on region locking before he passed away but said it was too late to change it on 3DS/WiiU.

Iwata was the real MVP.

 

[kubus]

Fuck the number in the cart icon has suddenly reset to 0 for me... I guess all my stuff has been removed from my cart :/.

edit: wait suddenly it's back to... 3?! I had two all this time.... wtf lol

 

[Captain Europe]

Wonder how much you'll actually save after sales taxes, shipping costs and import tariffs.

Probably not much, so I sucked it up and just ordered it here in Europe.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

I am done. I will check it again on 27th.

Good luck !

Got my zelda deluxe added to cart, registered w tenso (they're ok, right?), and now i'm just waiting for the damn site to load.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

I have been using tenso services since the good old days of Club Nintendo.

 

[kubus]
