So 3-2 Thursday rolling into midnight? Does Best Buy open that late?
Will Amazon Switch orders arrive on my door Friday?
Most Best Buy's will close normal time which is 9pm local time on March 2nd. Prepare for the launch once closed. Then re-open doors probably close to midnight local time. Once it hits midnight local time (it will be March 3rd then) they will begin selling / handing out pre-orders as well as selling Switch consoles, games, accessories, etc. that weren't pre-ordered.
Only if you selected the shipping method for them to arrive on Friday. Might want to check your order. Don't depend on their CS to answer this. They are outsourced and terrible like most CS including Best Buy.
two weeks from launch, and my neon pre order is burning into my existence.
Best Buy better let me pick up my console, all my games and extra accessories during the midnight launch.
Has anybody done a console launch at midnight best buy and can speak to if they let you grab all in store accessories and games you pre-ordered too?
They will. The items will be grouped together more than likely for your order(s).
So, I'm guessing that changing my BBuy preorder from Delivery to In Store pickup is probably a bad idea, right?
Depends. Certain stores are doing midnight launches and some aren't. Those that aren't will not open early on March 3rd either is my understanding. Also, might want to check online if that store still has stock to take on another pre-order. I have noticed some local stores cannot take in-store pickup on Switch items now, but others can. Probably means no more online pre-orders for instore pickup at those locations. I am sure each store knows exactly how much of each item they are receiving at this point.
