Can someone explain me how does fnac.com cashback work?

When your order is shipped, you get 30€ on your account if you have the loyalty card. You'll be able to use it later on Fnac.com or in stores.

(the standard Fnac loyalty card cost something but the Fnac Gaming card is free, and you'll still get your 30€ with it).

Be careful ! I have 2 pre-orders at Amazon, the console alone and the pack with zelda.
- When the price of the console drops, my order drops
- When the price of the pack drops, my order doesn't drop

So I contacted Amazon yesterday for my pack order and they manualy gave me a 10€ cut on my order.

Wtf? That's not normal.
I have the pack with Zelda preordered and it's the only one I have. Do note that it's not a real bundle, too (if you go in your order, you'll see it's two separate items and if you click on them it'll bring you to their "single" page)
So I don't know why your order is dropping, this contradicts what the rep told me. It shouldn't change until the shipping happens - he even tells me to not look at the order's price.

Whatever they'll charge, I have the conversation anyway so it'll be easy to get a refund if it's not the lowest price (which I can find easily via the numerous trackers around).

I asked Amazon FR about Zelda's price in the bundle. Just got the email they will update my order to the lower price (51,99&#8364 within the next 48h.

That should lower the price of the overall bundle to 343€ (shipping to Germany included). Pretty happy about that. Too bad it's the grey Switch but I'll live.

 

[Pila]

Sorry if asked already... do we know for sure if french Zelda will be multi5? Asking for a friend, he'd like to buy from Amazon.fr but he's not french...

Thanks xoxoxo

I would like to do that too but I can't speak or write French and feel iffy about using Google translate to send a message... maybe your can share with me the message you wrote and I can send it to them?

 

[oti]

He also said he'll contact me again on the 31st., since the weekend is coming up.

Don't worry. There is an option to contact them in English.

Yay that's great, thanks.

 

[Waji]

I made a preorder days ago when it was still 329€, thinking it would drop to 299 for sure.
Seems like I made the right choice, especially if it gets back to 329 later.

Did that, got this answer:

'Unfortunately we will not be able to match the price you found on our site.'

The guy writing the Mail sounds a lot like a chatbot. He's telling me to cancel my order if I want the current price.

 

[orioto]

So i'm a little worried cause i preordered the Switch on Fnac.com and the price dropped but my order doesn't mention that lol. Are we sure they update the price ?

I would cancel and re-preorder but i used a 60e coupon and i'm not sure how it works. What if i lose it in the process..

I don't know, maybe I just got lucky. It was actually the second mail I wrote to them. The first didn't result in anything either. The person sent me a link to pre-order the bundle again for whatever reason.

With my second mail I attached two screenshots. One of the bundle with Zelda for 62 and one of the Amazon page of Zelda alone for 52.

Maybe that will help you too.

 

[Alrus]

Anyone ordering from Belgium knows why the estimated delivery date is on march 7-8th? Is this amazon being conservative? I have amazon prime (or premium whatever) by the way.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

Huh, that's quite a bit cheaper overall, when you remember that french prices include sales tax.

When i try to preorder at amazon.fr i get 311 for switch and 54 for Zelda, why?

Import taxes maybe? I get 301 and 52,54 ordering from belgium.

 

[Airbar]

I guess that is shipping. Where are you located though? I get like 7,50€ for shipping but it drops the price for the Switch down to 296€ so that I pay like 303€ in the end.

Ah ok, well, it still what i have to pay in Sweden for the console ONLY, thats crazy, god bless import.

No, i pay 10 for shipping, so total 377 for r/b switch and zelda to Sweden...

Why is there no price war for the accessories in France?

Pictures worked, got an apology and they will correct the price immediately..

I got the same response but my order still hasn't been updated (it's been 8+ hours). I doubt it will.

They said I will be charged the lowest price when it ships (and that they will adjust my order), I'm not confident either will happen.

Could you not just order Zelda separately and then return Zelda from the bundle? Afaik you will be reimbursed the price from the bundle. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't live in Europe. Using a mail forwarding service, so can't return anything (without paying a lot of money for shipping)

They mentioned to me it would take up to 48h and since the weekend was coming up they'd come back to me on Monday.

I sent them the message in French (using Google translate). I thought I might have better luck that way for some reason

You contacted them in English?

google "Amazon.fr contact"

I thought you written them in French that's why I did that too because it worked for you, haha.

 

[oti]

Ha, that's a cute thought.
We got the same message in the end, only that my email has the line about two working days in it. If I get the discount, you will get it too.

 

[Shahadan]

I'm not sure I got it right. You asked for an update on the price of Zelda in your Switch/Zelda bundle is that correct?
I know that it's still considered to be 62€ in the order but the Switch itself is cheaper than its current price so the bundle is still cheaper than separate items by 1€, so I don't get why updating the price would be necessary.

Does that mean the bundle will become cheaper than 349€ for you guys? I feel like I4m missing something here :lol:

Yes we're trying to game the system, deal with it

 

[Shahadan]

But surely they'll see that the Switch in the bundle is priced at 287&#8364; or something and refuse to lower the price right? <_< Or at best update zelda to 52 and the switch to 297
I need to try contacting them and see what happens

In the bundle Zelda is priced 62€.
Zelda alone is priced 52€.

Maybe it'll work.

[marc^o^]

Yes

It's now 349€ the bundle + 30€ offered. So basically 319€.
I don't think this deal will be topped.

Edit: sorry for the confusion, I meant at La Fnac.

 

[Shahadan]

There's still something fishy with that stock. Why are we getting so much more? Switch and zelda have been the best selling video game items all week on amazon and only today did Resident Evil 7 get past the Neon unit.

Btw Bomberman is 7th :lol:

Maybe they'll change the date of delivery on our orders later ;(

 

[Naked Snake]

Yes

Bruh, we're talking about Amazon not Fnac.

 

[fr4nz]

Import taxes maybe? I get 301 and 52,54 ordering from belgium.

It is not an import tax but an adjustment of the VAT : 20% in France, 21% in Belgium

 

[FuturusX]

Anybody here pre-order from Amazon.fr for delivery to the US?

I'm desperate. I'm thinking about going trying to pre-order.

 

[martino]

My preorder at cultural is now also 299. They even send a mail. Seems preorder in France are low.

 

[Naked Snake]

You can't. They won't ship to the US.

Amazon.de did allow shipping internationally when they first went up, but then they changed it to disallow that. I'm pretty sure all retailers are instructed by Nintendo not to ship outside their region.
