Amazon has matched kmart but I still might swing by kmart sunday morning because I have to pay tax either way. Just such a hassle trying to get anything at my local kmart so I may go amazon route.
Amazon 3ds matched kmart with $25 off game.

[quote name='Trance Addix']Well, it's a hit or miss. Ensenda and a bunch of other smaller carriers signed a contract with Amazon promising certain delivery speeds; so when they can't fulfill those promises they put fake tracking info like "failed delivery" or "blah blah unexpected delay." That said, I did have orders delivered by Ensenda once, but those idiots put the package in my mailbox.
Chances are everything will be okay. If it's not you can call and complain and Amazon will note in your account to not use Ensenda -- or at least try their best.[/QUOTE]
Yea. I've had pretty good success with Ensenda but they did play fishy once for me. I was waiting for a Sunday delivery and I was home all day. Around 5:30 I ate my dinner, while on the couch in front of the tv, in front of the window, in front of the front door....then after I finished I tracked, and it said they attempted to deliver at 5:35. I was sitting right there and no one even came by.

same here. my system hasn't shipped but i just got 2 shipping confirmation emails. i pre-ordered pilotwings a while ago and i pre-ordered steel diver the other day when they had that $10 3ds credit per game promo going on. in my steel diver email, it mentions the $10 3ds credit, but in the pilotwings email, it does not. so i'm expecting a struggle on that one.
nintendo needs to stop with the absolutely pointless sunday releases.

I think I got lucky. I ordered my 3DS on Saturday afternoon and just got my shipping notification saying it was picked up by by ONTRAC around 3pm today and is currently scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I have Prime 2-day shipping and the original delivery date was Wednesday the 30th, so I'm still thinking there is a good chance I'll get it sometime between Monday and Wednesday.

Just used my $25 bonus on pilotwings resort and used the accessory one on the bear puppet thingy which for some reason I liked (especially for free) I was trying to see why my 3ds shipping confirmation said I got a $10 off a qualifying game within 2 days of the 3ds shipping. It shipped on the 26th so it has been over 2 days so I guess it was just a mistake. I can't find where anyone else got both a $25 and $10 credit for pre ordering just the system. $14.99 + tax and free 2 day shipping (since I'm prime member on free trial) for $49.99 worth of stuff is not bad, thanks amazon.
Mine shipped out today, so it was suppose to be deliveried on the 30th according to UPS, but will be delivered early on Monday. I did pay for 1 day shipping. Also i still haven't received any emails from amazon.com about my $25 credit for a 3DS game or about my free accessory, but it does say 2 days from shipping, its just weird some people have already gotten the emails about both promos. 
Luckily i already have street fighter and ridge racer that i got today from TRU, to play once i get my 3DS tomorrow. I can't wait, you would think im a teenager eagerly awaiting my new toy, but im actually in my 30s, i just a big kid who will never grown up.

My SSFIV and 3DS shipped yesterday at 1 and 3PM, respectively. They both have a delivery estimate of 3/29, but I paid for overnight on the 3DS, and at UPS it says 2nd day air. If my 3DS isn't here tomorrow, I'm contacting amazon. Not because I have to have it, but because I paid 3.99 for next day air, not 2nd day air.

overnight shipping means they ship it monday and you get it Tuesday. Product releases Sunday, it ships monday, you get it tuesday.
However they actually manage it and by whatever carrier they use doesn't matter. They are obligated to deliver it on Tuesday, not Monday. Some people just got extremely lucky with their orders.
Even if they shipped it out 3 weeks ago by rented mule, as long as you get it Tuesday, they've "overnighted" it to you.

But don't you get it? They're delivering it to you exactly how you asked for it and paid for. What do you expect them to do? Change time? Just because SSFIV is arriving earlier than expected, that means they ripped you off? No, it just means they overdelivered on SSFIV, not underdelivered on your 3DS.
It's just unfortunate that you don't live in an area with all these other delivery companies that other people are talking about.
And you don't know that the 3DS wouldve gotten there tuesday. A lot of people (me included) have a wednesday delivery estimate on the 3DS. (2 day prime). So your 1 day delivery gets it to you 1 day sooner than me. Which is exactly what you paid for, no?

I'm always right.
Some dude in one of these threads reported that he ordered FSSS and got it today. I pay $85 a year for prime and will get my DS on Wed. Is it a little perturbing? Yeah. But it's nothing to get worked up about.
And in the future, unless you absolutely need it in 1 day, just go with the 2 day route. Half the time, they deliver in 1 day anyway.

Shipping issues are certainly annoying. They seem to have them more often now. My Crysis 2 with release day delivery was delayed a day for some unknown reason. I have student prime, so it's free and I'm not going to complain. If I paid for prime, or paid extra for one day shipping though, that would be irritating.

If I paid for overnight and it took 2 days, I'd ask for my $3.99 back.
They'd probably just throw promo credit at ya. It seems whenever you get an out of country CS rep (which happens to me more than not) they just throw 10$ promo credits at every problem they see. I like this way of dealing with problems, and fully support their righteous cause! >XD

I don't understand why it's taking some of you guys so long to get your shipping confirmation. My aqua 3ds is due here tomorrow and I just pre ordered late last week. Signed up for free month of prime and immediately set it not to auto renew which saved me $9.98 on 2 day shipping. Just used prime again to place a order for pilotwings and bear puppet and free 2 day shipping too. Beginning to wonder how amazon can offer a free trial of prime like that when they are already offering better prices than anyone else in town.

Volume
Even if they make a bit less in profit on each item it doesn't matter, because their volume of sales is much higher than anyone else. That and giving out free prime entices people to spend more, which pretty much covers the shipping costs.

Maybe I missed it... but can someone answer this question for me? Sorry if it's been answered already.
My UPS tracking says something along the lines of:
Original delivery time - Tuesday by 3:30pm (End of day for residential)
New delivery time - Monday by 10:30am (End of day for residential)
***
Obviously, I live in a house, so I'm assuming that I'm a "residential", and my 3DS will get here by the end of the day. But why even bother putting the 10:30am time? Are they really going to deliver it by then?

I ordered my 3DS in the beginning of this month an Amazon shipped it via FedEx Smartpost + USPS. This happen to me before with the reissue of Super Mario All-Star Collection. It in transit on Monday, FedEx hands it over to USPS Tuesday and final delivery is made on Wednesday. I guess the fulfillment center is close to my area they decided to go that route. I hope it doesn't get delay in USPS sortment facility.

See, all the posts I've seen of everyone mentioning these smaller couriers also lives in the Chicagoland area and they've got their systems now. My order was stuck in "shipping soon" status for over two whole days and I won't get my system until the 29th.
Edit: Actually, my UPS tracking info has no information yet so it's not even in UPS's system yet and shipping ground, their slowest shipping method, so we'll see if I even get it then.

I have a question:
I placed my order for the 3DS on January 19th. I checked the shipping status and it entered the "Shipping Soon" phase on Saturday evening but is still in the shipping soon phase and it is now Monday morning at 9AM. I'm just going to pick one up at Kmart as my local store still has several on hand. I choose two day delivery via Amazon but the quickest it'll get here is Wednesday.
Now here is my question. How do I refuse delivery? I tried calling an actual Amazon agent but she said she couldn't manually cancel the order because it has been in the shipping soon phase for the last two days. I told her that defeats the purpose of using two day shipping if it is going to just sit there. She offered to refund the two day shipping fee which didn't cost me anything in the first place because I have Amazon prime.
I told her at this point I'm just not interested in buying the item from amazon anymore because I want my 3DS asap so i'm going to pick it up elsewhere. Because she can't cancel my order she said I'd have to "refuse" it.
How do I refuse an item? My UPS guy (almost all AZ orders are delivered to me through UPS) just leaves packages in front of my door and I'm not always here.
If I am here do I just tell him to return it? How does that work?
Thanks

Here is what you do: go to your e-mail inbox, click on the Amazon customer service survey, click the link under "No, didn't help blah blah", fill out quick survey, and then click call again. The call will be forwarded to an American team. That will resolve your problem.
On a side note: AMEX released a new payment platform called Serve. It will be a great way to shop online with added security and it also acts like a Paypal/Payments account.

The expiration for both promotion expire June 30th. When are OoT and MGS3 coming out?

Rage is starting to set in, my order is still in the "shipping soon" phase. Now even when I get my system, it's doubtful I'm going to even have a game to play until at least Friday, since I have to wait for the $25 credit to even order anything... and until it actually ships, which it hasn't for 2 and a 1/2 days now, I won't get my credit.
This is the first time I've been pissed off at Amazon in a long time.

Mine just shipped an hour and a half ago. I'm sure yours will move soon too.

Same here. Not just 3DS but the games and other items that were supposed to ship today are all under "Shipping Soon".

I was going to break up my order for one of each and send one to my friend's house so I could get the credits for both systems but decided against it in case something went wrong and I didn't get them quick enough. I find out this morning that Amazon gave me the credits for both anyway despite the limit 1 per household wording on the preorders. Now I've got enough credit for 1.5 free games. I'm thinking I'm going to get both Pilotwings & Steel Diver now instead of just one of them. I preordered SSFIV for the $10 credit I had originally planned to combine with the single $25 credit to use to buy one of them for $5.
The credits are good through the end of June. Should I hang on to them and see if I can use them on a really good game instead? I heard OOT's remake is due out around then. Or can I just preorder anything and have the credit used for that? I'd really rather preorder Kid Icarus or the new Super Mario 3DS game if that's possible.
