Topic: Does anyone know how much in advance will My Nintendo Store (Europe) ship preorders?

@RubyCarbuncle generic answers like this is normal from the my Nintendo store. They generally don’t know much when it’s about the my Nintendo store which has only been about a decade.

I have been charged for my order but I can't see the order status for some reason, does anyone else have that issue or am I just missing it somehow?

Anyone been charged by Smyths yet?

@Sylamp Yes, ordered from My Nintendo store Germany and got the tracking link but it gives an error. I guess that's normal until they ship it for real.

@Sylamp on Nintendo Store? Mine took a day or so after being charged for the status to change to complete and then a while after that for the tracking link to appear.

@RubyCarbuncle Why are you stressing? If they are being processed in batches and it is an automated process, then that is what will happen and they won't be able to tell you when your specific order will be processed. If there was a problem you would know about it, either via Nintendo contacting you or your bank flagging the payment. It's not out until Thursday and might not be charged until Tuesday or possibly even Wednesday. It will not be dispatched until Wednesday. They can charge whenever they like up until then.

@Reprise yeah on My Nintendo Store, I was charged 3 days ago and still nothing, even when I click "View Order Status"

@Sylamp That's odd. Hopefully nothing to worry about and it will update within the next couple of days.

@RubyCarbuncle
I can answer this. Yes, they are.
I've been charged in the night from Saturday to Sunday at exactly midnight last week.

@RubyCarbuncle did u get an email from Smyths after your switch 2 was pre authorised? Also has your order status changed?

Not console related, but placed my first order direct from Nintendo on Friday, got a GC controller and a couple of amiibo.

All in stock and ready to dispatch with delivery 2-4 days, it’s now Wednesday and it’s still “processing” is this normal for them? Are they generally quite slow?

I appreciate that they’ve been busy with the Switch 2 and Amazon spoils us all with instant dispatch but just a bit concerned what’s going on.

Well, Saturday was Saturday, Sunday and Monday were holidays. So the first day they could have shipped, was yesterday.
They are usually not very fast over at Nintendo. I wouldn’t worry.
I ordered a Switch 2 at 9 April and it took them almost two months to ship it….

Ahh I’m in the UK so no holidays here that’s why I was asking as today would be the third working day, not to worry I’ll give them to the end of the week then maybe email them.

Thanks for the reply
