How Long Does It Usually Take for Nintendo Orders to Ship?

-

I recently ordered my Switch 2 on June 10th through an invite, and it’s been stuck in ‘preparing to ship’ for 5 days. I’m curious if anyone else has ordered one around the same time and can share how long it took to ship from that status. Any insights would be really appreciated! I can’t wait to dive into some Mario Kart Wii!

I ordered mine on the 10th, and it shipped out on the 12th. It should arrive tomorrow — that’s with the free 3-9 day shipping option!

Sounding like I just got pretty unlucky at this point! Thanks for the info! Enjoy!

I got my invite late on the 10th, and I paid around 5 PM on the 11th. My shipment confirmation came on the 13th. Since it’s Sunday, I’d guess your order will probably ship on Monday or Tuesday, depending on your shipping option.

Ahhh I see. I assume that’s 5 PM eastern? I would have gotten my invite/paid right at like 11 PM eastern.

I had mine before launch, and it never updated from ‘preparing to ship.’ It arrived right on launch day! I finally got an update about a week later saying it shipped and was delivered.

I’m in the same boat as you. I chatted with support, and they said they couldn’t give me a solid estimate but should send a shipping confirmation soon.

Ah thanks. Well always glad to hear that we’re in a similar situation. Thanks for the reply. Hopefully by Monday we get a shipping confirmation!

I ordered mine on June 10th as well, and it shipped on the 13th! I’m in Indianapolis, and I got tracking info through FedEx right away. Hope you get your order shipped soon!

Dang! Okay nice. Hopefully mine can ship any minute now then! Do you have it yet if it shipped on the 13th? Does FedEx say where it shipped from?
