I have tracking numbers now. I thought they would use DPD or something, not Royal Mail.

@Dcubed you leftnyour order id in there, dunno if you should remove it.

Still not been charged by Nintendo yet.

My payment failed for some reason, argh!  I've got no notifcations on any of my accounts.  I even used PayPal so it could go through all the accounts it needed to.  They've said they're going to try again in 4 days.

I would put the money into your PayPal wallet in advance if I were you.  I had quite a bit of trouble adding the funds initially (my bank rejected the PayPal wallet top-up transaction twice before I had to do the confirmation thingy that it was a genuine transaction; and only then did it let me add the funds).

If you fill up your PayPal wallet in advance, the payment should go through smoothly like mine did.

Nintendo have sent me the download code for the Welcome Tour!

My tracking number is now working from Nintendo! Royal Mail have it as “we are expecting your item” and that it’s been dispatched from the sender. 
I’m sure Nintendo have all these Switch 2’s as DO NOT DELIVER BEFORE 5TH all over them.

I'm just imagining Miyamoto clones walking in and taking command of every postage facility across the world this weekend and for the next few days to make sure they don't get sent off any earlier than they should be

Got a tracking number for my GCN contorller from Nintendo. My Switch 2 is in ShopTo's warehouse awaiting dispatch...Everything is finally moving.

I preordered as soon as I could. Will be collecting it from Currys on Thursday.

I have tons of Switch games in the backlog. Still need to finish off Zelda TOTK. And just bought Fantasy Life.

I was eyeing up Cyberpunk but I do have the full game on PS5 still in its wrapper!

Oh wow! Curry's Oxford Street are also doing a Midnight Launch for Switch 2!!

Oh that's sick! I am loving this sudden revival of the Midnight Launch!

I would love to go, and totally would, but I literally can't make it this time around unfortunately.  Man, I used to LOVE midnight launches though, they were so much fun!

Ended up buying Cyberpunk tor Switch 2 version. Will likely just sell my PS5 one.

Yeah so is mine so I wouldn’t worry, I can just see the payment has been processed in my bank itself.

Edit: ok now it’s moved to ready for dispatch

These early dispatch notifications are really quite unfair given that we have DAYYYSS to go still! 

They're dangling the Ninty carrot and I don't like it!! 😭😛
