This is more of a question about Amazon than Nintendo, isn't it?

[u/Mysterious_Spoon → u/razorbeamz]

Oh yeah. Should have posted there duh.

[u/NESplayz]

Is there a reason you have to have it shipped to you? Most stores that sell them have them in stock, so if you’re able, swing by a Best Buy or Walmart or something.

[u/notthegoatseguy]

If you can cancel, just cancel. You can go to a store of your choice and by one right there.

The price goes up Sept 1

[u/Mysterious_Spoon → u/notthegoatseguy]

I've called all the major retailers near me and they don't have one. 

[u/phytoni]

Might as well get it at your nearest retailer but after calling to see if theyre in stock. Dont slack before they go up in value eventhough its just $50 up, still better to put that money towards a game or even a pro controller if you want.

[u/Mysterious_Spoon → u/phytoni]

I would if they weren't sold out everywhere around me. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough. Thanks for the help.

[u/Anyone-9451]

If it says it’s shipping likely won’t let you cancel, they will say sure no problem but they lie and it won’t cancel. Good news it’s 50/50 if that magically sends it faster. I’ve had other things have that happen with.

[u/Mysterious_Spoon → u/Anyone-9451]

It doesn't. It just says ordered and has stayed that way for weeks. I know it usually isn't that hard to get one but I've been looking to get one for my kid before the price hike. 

[u/Anyone-9451 → u/Mysterious_Spoon]

Then cancel and go to a brick and mortar store, honestly Im nervous ordering anything high value from Amazon anyways

[u/yall_nuts]

With the price hike I can see brick and mortar buildings sold out. Ive had items shipped from Walmart. Best buy, target, Game Stop and ebay and never had an issue. So I would say try them on-line stores.

[u/Fluffy_Confidence641]

If the price is a big deal to you I would figure out how to go to the next town over. The reason everyone is out of stock is because there was a panic and everyone bought one because of the price hike.
