Question about Toysrus.com...

[Talduras]

I couldn't find this answer anywhere on their website, so I'm going to the best place to get an answer without resorting to getting it from a robot Toys 'R Us representative.

Say you were to order three items, such as, oh say... three Wii games (since they're "buy 2 get 1"). And say that their website allows this deal even on pre-order items. So, if you were to purchase said pre-order item in addition to two items that were already out, would the order not ship at all until the pre-order item was released, or would they ship the two items and send you the pre-order item later? I ask because Amazon.com does the former method (at least on free-shipping orders... which is the only method I do there), and I'm hoping to find a way to get a good deal on Brawl.

So anyone know what the case is here?

When they had the buy Madden, get another game 50% off, I ordered Madden and Guitar Hero III.. Madden shipped right away and GHIII shipped when it was released.

If they are already out they will ship to you.

If you pre order things, they will ship the day they come out.

So, the "everything only ships when pre-order item is out" is probably something unique to Amazon.com... and possibly the free shipping option they have, right?

All other shipping options at Amazon.com have the option to ship items as they become available at a higher cost.

Oh yeah. I guess their free shipping option forcefully restricts it to "all in one shipment." Guess being cheap has its downsides.

Well, it's nice to know I can do that with this order. The problem is I have to figure out what game to remove from the equation, since I want Mario Galaxy, Fire Emblem, Brawl, and Metroid Prime 3. Hmm...
