Dyson Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 It's no consolation I know but I'm in the same place. Still vaguely hopefull it's gonna appear soon. However, my Simply Games Zelda never showed, either. It is slight consolation my man, knowing I'm not the only person in a similar situation makes me glad I'm not a unique case!
Blade Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I have verything bar Bomberman. I ordered it from Base.com and they dispatched it on 01/03/17. Gutted that it has not arrived yet.
killthenet Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Nintendo UK is truly useless. After getting an email before 4pm yesterday guaranteeing that it would be dispatched for delivery today it took them until 9am this morning to finally dispatch the package. Now at nearly 4pm Yodel still haven't received the actual goods. I pre-ordered on January 13th as soon as orders went live yet won't be getting it on launch day. I'm on hold with Nintendo now, doubt they'll be able to do much though.
Shorty Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 @Dyson some people are reporting an email with a Hermes tracking number in and an explanation that it was a mixup. Any chance you're one of those lucky ones? (I'm not)
liger05 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 @liger05 You're happy with it overall? Still waiting for delivery.
killthenet Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Been on hold for an hour now @Dyson or @Shorty did you guys call Nintendo earlier? I know they've messed up a lot of orders but they must be getting a tonne of calls for me to have been on hold for this long.
Shorty Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 No I don't really see the point in ringing them, I'm assuming it's really been dispatched in which case they can't really expedite the process at this point. I'm happy-ish with my backup plan.
Space Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Feel bad for everyone with issues. My ShopTo went smoothly, but I cancelled my Zelda pre-order there a while back to use Amazon instead as it was cheaper. But I checked my wife's Amazon account last night and we'd forgotten to pre-order it somehow - unbelievable. So it was off to the shops this morning to try and locate a Zelda, I could only find a special edition, so had to get that! Although ShopTo have been very good I think I might do the Smyths midnight launch next time. Clearly things can go wrong with couriers and it's good to know it is all sorted the night before and no waiting around. PS if you got an invite from SpaceBen that is me!

nekunando Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I've just got home from work and there's nothing here and no way for me to track progress If it comes tomorrow, it won't be too bad but if not then I won't get a proper chance to play until Wednesday

I'm happy-ish with my backup plan. I was just confused because Yodel don't seem to know anything about it so wasn't sure if they might have sent it with another courier or through Royal Mail so wanted to clear that up. I got through to them after just over an hour, hoped they would be able to provide some sort of compensation but they just said wait and see if it comes today. The guy was pretty nice and I got to vent a bit at least.

Any chance you're one of those lucky ones? (I'm not) That's a no from me as well unfortunately. Still nothing. A few people in similar positions to us saying that they've had theirs turn up by Royal Mail at about half three, and even after it was delivered the tracking wasn't working, so there's some (albeit miniscule at this point) hope..
killthenet Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Yodel still don't have a clue where it is so i'm completely in limbo at the moment. I hope this doesn't sour my experience with the Switch when it finally arrives.
Dyson Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 So NUK's phone line is apparently "closed for training until 3pm" - fucking lol What a fucking shambles.
Jamba Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 So NUK's phone line is apparently "closed for training until 3pm" - fucking lol What a fucking shambles. Urgent training on left controller issues id recon
Dyson Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Urgent training on left controller issues id recon Are they really that bad? I assumed it was an urgent update for everyone on the delivery issues, but I got through after that and they say there's no news I just don't understand how neither Royal Mail not Nintendo seem to actually know what's going on with this thing. It's baffling.

It's baffling. Nintendo UKs logistics are pretty bad. And well Royal Mail? Surely thats enough said? EDIT: sorry I know people are urgently awaiting deliveries. Im sick, it makes me mean when I dont mean to be. EDIT: sorry I know people are urgently awaiting deliveries. Im sick, it makes me mean when I dont mean to be.

nekunando Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Absolutely furious I went onto GAME's Live Chat and apparently there is some sort of delay with sending the console out to Northern Ireland (even though we're in the UK ) and I'll 'get an update' on Monday. Not a delivery.. an update Genuinely gutted. I should have expected this from GAME but they've lost yet another customer after this..

It's not like the release should have come as a surprise to them. That's terrible. Edit: Just now reading that delays are affecting quite a few people. How has this happened?

Buy another one and cancel/return the one from GAME.
Agent Gibbs Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 My copy of Breath of the wild hasn't turned up! Fuming with Amazon, I'm a prime member and every order I make comes next day delivery via Amazon Logistics. My Breath of the Wild order? It's been sent via Royal Mail First Class Tracked, it's still listed as out for delivery, so that means it's coming Monday now since the tracking mentions 1-2 working days Time for an Angey Live chat
