IMPORTANT PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
- Please DO NOT rely on receiving an email or push notification alert to find you stock. We will send notifications on a case by case basis. It is pointless us sending thousands of notifications if a retailer only has a few units of stock which get snapped up almost immediately. Just leads to further frustration.
- For very high demand products, don't be surprised if stock sells out in seconds. An online store may have only made a single unit available.
- Any irregular page refreshing or bot activity will result in an automatic permanent block from our server.
- Please do not attempt to sell on this forum. There is another well known website for that. Offending posts will be deleted and user accounts suspended without notice.
- Please refer to our FAQs for further answers to common questions.

Finally was able to "buy" a Switch on 7/6 from Amazon. It was supposed to arrive today (7/9). Got an email at 2 pm today saying the order was cancelled. This service works really well, Amazon shipping........not so much.
MatrixEffect 7/9/2020 12:55 PM (ET)
Thanks! I got an alert for one available on Amazon for a normal price. I've been looking for one for a month for my wife's Bday (tomorrow). Hopefully it will ship. Fingers crossed!
guest754852 7/8/2020 8:51 PM (ET)
thanks a lot, received one 16 hours after starting to use this site.
sniyas 7/7/2020 6:02 PM (ET)
I got one on amazon thank you Stock Informer! For anyone that got it, when did your console ship?
maifun - 7/8/2020 8:56 PM (ET)
Not sure if their shipping schedules have changed lately, but I got one 'pre-order' on Amazon on 6/16, it had an estimated ship date of 7/15... but I actually received it on 6/24, yay! So just over a week later.
guest745281 - 7/9/2020 12:14 AM (ET)
Sniyas - I ordered mine at around the same time as you (around 3:00 p.m. PDT on 7/7) and actually got mine today (just before 7:30 p.m. on 7/8)!
guest753670 7/7/2020 12:53 PM (ET)
Finally after months of dodging the scalpers my kids can finally own the switch! The alert was awesome!
sniyas - 7/7/2020 6:02 PM (ET)
Congrats!! I did too yesterday! Did Amazon inform you when it will be shipped cause there hasn't been a confirmed delivery date for me?
guest753670 - 7/8/2020 2:29 PM (ET)
Yeah! Mine says will be here tomorrow by 9pm. They take a bit to process orders but you should get a shipped notification.
guest750455 7/6/2020 5:04 PM (ET)
The reason why most of the time you add a item to your cart and it fails is because the retailer has a limited supply of the item or they are on back order until Nintendo gets the item to the retailer fully stocked I would just wait I’ll the retailer had a a full restock so that way u won’t get the failed to add to cart error
guest750402 7/6/2020 4:01 PM (ET)
Just wanted to leave a comment and say thanks, was able to get a switch in the last availability notification. I found that discord notifications work best, if you click the link right away and add to cart you will get one, if you are just a bit delayed youll probably miss out. Keep trying, thanks again for a great tool
mporras 7/2/2020 4:07 PM (ET)
Thank you so much Stock Informer, the most helpful function is for sure the Discord notifications, although it took me longer than most, I got my switch on tuesday and I've been playing ever since. Thank you thank you!!
guest681766 6/30/2020 9:46 AM (ET)
I ordered one on June 25th and the back order date was till July 26th or something. It updated to say will arrive by June 30th (today), but it still doesn't say it has shipped, and in the order details section it says "shipping now." Anyone else have this problem or know what it means?
megumin 6/28/2020 4:43 AM (ET)
every time i see the notif i click the link instantly and try to add it to my cart, but i always see 'failed to add item to cart'
guest744823 - 6/28/2020 10:28 AM (ET)
Yeah I think it’s because it’s already snagged by someone else! I’ve been doing the same. I was lucky enough to get one a few minutes ago! I was in shock when I got to the confirmation page. Keep trying!
megumin - 6/28/2020 1:30 PM (ET)
oh ok thanks i just thought amazon was being weird
guest745084 - 6/30/2020 4:03 AM (ET)
same here literally pressed the link 3 seconds after the discord notif and didnt get it
megumin - 6/30/2020 4:06 AM (ET)
me too i dont know why this happens im so early to amazon
guest744823 6/27/2020 7:39 PM (ET)
Gotten a few Amazon notifications this afternoon but every time I try to add, it says “failed to add to cart”. Anyone having luck?
guest745084 - 6/27/2020 7:46 PM (ET)
yea its gone it looks like
guest744823 - 6/27/2020 8:24 PM (ET)
Yeah I’ve been clicking right as I get the notifications but I guess I’m too slow lol
CatherineHinkley 6/26/2020 12:51 AM (ET)
I got mine ordered on Monday June 22nd, it was supposed to arrive July 16th, but it was just delivered today, June 25th.
santrega 6/25/2020 8:59 PM (ET)
I used discord and was able to quickly move from the notification to amazon on the computer and complete the purchase. Worked perfectly. Thanks Stock Informer! It was a pre-order but it says it will be here in 3 days.
guest691469 6/25/2020 5:36 PM (ET)
Thank you Stock Informer! It works!! I used discord. Ordered June 17th with delivery date July 15-16. Received today 6/25/20. 8 days after ordering!
Administrator - 6/25/2020 5:56 PM (ET)
No worries, glad you found the service useful 😎
tennisfan47 6/25/2020 3:25 PM (ET)
Got mine at 136pm right as it was released I purchased. Use discord for instant notifications and you should be in within 3-4 tries over a day! Thanks a bunch!
Sgoljo 6/25/2020 6:53 AM (ET)
To anyone looking to start their library with their new Switch like me, unfortunately we just missed the massive Summer Sale. However check dekudeals, Reddits’s r/NintendoSwitchDeals and of course eBay to find the best prices/sales on Nintendo games.
Right now GameStop is having a Buy 1 Get 1 50%, and it’s given me an awesome jump into everything I needed. Its a flash sale so no saying how long it will be around. Good luck guys!
ORCAS 6/25/2020 3:51 AM (ET)
Just got one from the 0320 (ET) notification that was just sent out. Joined stockinformer yesterday. Making this comment to add to the legitimacy. Good luck 👍
ORCAS - 6/25/2020 3:52 AM (ET)
Got a discord notification
Administrator - 6/25/2020 3:57 AM (ET)
Thanks ORCAS 😎
ORCAS - 6/30/2020 7:12 PM (ET)
I am holding the switch now. I went to work but my wife accepted the amazon package sometime this morning. Thank you stockinformer for being legitimate
guest741018 6/24/2020 5:06 PM (ET)
Has the discord stopped working as mine is still on yesterday’s notification but none of today’s?
guest739412 6/23/2020 9:19 PM (ET)
hi everyone! good luck - they seemed to restock several times today. i read online that nintendo is back to their regular production of switches - hooray! some pieces of advice to someone who just bought a switch this evening: always have the amazon link open and ready to refresh. join the discord - the alerts are several seconds faster than the website, and sometimes, those seconds are what you need to buy a switch. lastly, know that there will definitely be more restocks, so don't give up. about the shipping; my package is supposed to arrive july 16, but i've seen many people say theirs arrived a few days after ordering. will update. 
guest739412 - 6/24/2020 7:34 AM (ET)
update: it's now arriving friday, june 26
ORCAS - 6/25/2020 3:55 AM (ET)
Your advices helped me get one. Thank you. And I hope mine updates to arrive sooner than my current estimated arrival time of July 15
guest739412 - 6/27/2020 10:00 PM (ET)
update: by friday, it hadn't shipped yet. then, amazon changed the delivery date again and said it's going to deliver wednesday. however, tracking says it'll deliver monday.
guest739412 - 7/6/2020 1:17 PM (ET)
hi all! forgot to update, but it delivered that monday, and i love it! thanks stock informer!!
Casual Geek 6/23/2020 5:02 PM (ET)
I got the discord notification on my phone for this last one (4:52pm et) and within seconds i clicked. It opened my Amazon app and when i went to add to cart I got error pop up "failed to add an item to cart. Amazon encounter a problem Try again later" (several times till it sold out again). Maybe bc I'm using the app? Wonder if using the website would be easier?
Casual Geek - 6/23/2020 5:59 PM (ET)
GOT IT! I'm thinking being on the pc and using the website made it easier. idk. I heard discord ping at 5:47pm and within seconds I had the order confirmed. A few minutes later the grey unit went up. I wish i had known - I would have preferred the grey but at this point it doesnt matter. I'm thrilled. Pay day (7/8) I will order a few games. 😍
sinistar - 6/24/2020 4:13 PM (ET)
I've been having the "failed to add" issue all day today. Thanks for giving me hope!!
Lanlanchan - 6/24/2020 4:45 PM (ET)
I finally was able to get mine after multiple tries at that fast grab. Refresh, click and go back over and over again until it is added to your cart.
guest741018 6/23/2020 5:01 PM (ET)
What does preorder mean ?
Casual Geek - 6/23/2020 5:04 PM (ET)
by definition: "order (an item of merchandise) before it is available, with the understanding that it will be shipped later." Tho people are writing here that they see the pre-order date but are getting it sooner. (ie- says Shipping July 25th but ppl are saying they are getting A LOT sooner)
jd21 - 6/23/2020 7:14 PM (ET)
I ordered one today ~3 PM Eastern and originally had an expected delivery date of July 15th. Just got a notification a few minutes ago that it had shipped and would be here this Thursday
jd21 6/23/2020 2:41 PM (ET)
Today has been an absolute roller coaster of emotions. I just barely missed the first 3 ones and finally got it on this latest one!!!!
sarebearrxo - 6/23/2020 2:48 PM (ET)
same thing happened to me!!!!!!! I’M SO HAPPY 😭
Wave999 6/23/2020 1:45 PM (ET)
I GOT IT!!!!
After over a week of trying, I finally did it. It's coming July 19th
I used just the regular phone notifications, and basically have been sitting with my phone all day until it finally popped up. I added it to my cart and in an instant I had checked out. Make sure you have one-click purchase on or whatever it's called. It saved me from missing it.
Thank you so much Stock Informer!!! Good luck to everyone else with getting one as well
guest579962 6/23/2020 1:25 PM (ET)
Use the discord! I got one the first try after joining it!
mporras 6/22/2020 11:17 PM (ET)
I ordered one thanks to the discord app, was told it would be in stock july 14, was later told it would arrive June 27, however i haven't gotten a shipping update. Does anyoone else have this issue? Will update if/when it ships and arrives
Sgoljo - 6/23/2020 4:52 AM (ET)
I ordered mine Saturday and got the same initial delivery date, July 14th. Mine hasn’t updated yet (I really hope it will, and be set for this week). But I ordered a handful of things off of Amazon this week and they haven’t ever given me a ship date yet. They tell me when it will be delivered, and so far they’ve seemed to be shipping each item to correspond with the delivery dates they gave. I got one item a day early so far. If it says June 27th, expect it then or sooner. Congrats man!
Sgoljo - 6/23/2020 4:54 AM (ET)
By the way, what date did you place your order and what date did you delivery date get moved up to June 27th? I am trying to figure out for myself if it takes a certain amount of business days for them to update.
mporras - 6/23/2020 1:42 PM (ET)
Hey there I ordered mine on June 15, got the updated delivery date the next day. I chose the free 5-7 day shipping but i haven't gotten an update and its supposed to arrive on saturday the latest
Sgoljo - 6/25/2020 6:40 AM (ET)
Hey, thanks - you soothed my mind for a bit. Later that day that you responded, 6/23, they updated my delivery date to Saturday. Then the day after that they updated AGAIN to Friday. So 2-3 business days later and my shipping date updated to be here in less than a week after I ordered. It did ship yet, but I think that’s because I have 2-day shipping and that it will go out later today. I’m excited!
mporras - 6/25/2020 2:50 PM (ET)
Great to hear, I keep checking my amazon and it still says expected delivery is on saturday, however I have not received any shipping confirmation, I have talked to some reps att amazon and they have confrimed with me that the switch would be delivered on saturday. I live in NYC so i feel like that may be a reason it takes longer for me compared to others that have ordered later but have confirmed dates earlier than mine. Ill update in ttwo days if I have gotten a shipping update or if it has delivered to my house. regardless im happy tto get mine and everyone here at home cant wait to start playing
Sgoljo - 6/26/2020 6:39 AM (ET)
Living in NYC probably has some impact on your shipping process (probably why you’re getting it a day later than me - I live on Long Island). But I asked over in the subreddit for Amazon’s Warehouses, r/AmazonFC, what the hold up might be. They explained that delivery dates on things like this are usually determined based on the stock of the warehouses closest to us. So whichever Warehouse (also called Fulfillement Center) supplies East/Metro NY was probably low or out. I assume they re-upped this week and that’s why you and I are getting them roughly at the same time. And those that got it even sooner when they ordered later, probably lived close to Fulfillment Centers that had stock of it.
mporras - 6/26/2020 5:37 PM (ET)
Update 6/26, just got a shipping update, will be delivered 7/1
abarnwell99 6/21/2020 3:23 PM (ET)
Discord worked for me as well. Placed pre-order for July 7th earlier this past week....now set to deliver to me tomorrow. So less than a week's wait. So excited.
guest708143 6/19/2020 5:43 PM (ET)
i FINALLY GOT ONE after a good 2 months of trying. I highly recommend joining their discord because that's how i ended up getting it. I had been dependent on the audio alarm for a while but every time i would add it to cart it would disappear ;( The same day i joined the discord is the same day i placed my order since alerts are sent there faster. Even though i don't get mine for about a month, i'm just happy i don't have to deal with the constant struggle of trying to get a switch.
guest708143 - 6/19/2020 5:55 PM (ET)
update: i just checked and its delivering today even though it was supposed to deliver July 15
Yessir4925 - 6/20/2020 12:51 AM (ET)
Same for me! The same day I joined Discord I got it! Congrats
guest720619 6/19/2020 2:10 PM (ET)
Gotta tell ya'll I spent about two weeks waiting for the buzzer while working or peeking at the screen as I walked by. And one morning last week, I happened to sit down just as a new pre-order announcement came up. With lightning fast reflexes, I clicked it into Amazon and had it in my cart and purchased. Couldn't believe it. Then I went back to this site and they were gone again. Amazon said they had none in stock. It happened so fast, I couldn't believe it. But Amazon also said I had one set to be delivered to me on or about July 16. Then a daly later Amazon said expect it by June 19. I couldn't believe it. And I still kept up with Informer just to see how things were going and also in case for some reason it all fell through. Well it was delivered today and my son is very happy. My case is closed.
But I will say, I have noticed more notifications this past week than last week. And the fact that my delivery date bumped up a whole month says that more are appearing. And as that happens, the bots that buy them for people who try to resell them for $450-500 will stop snapping them up so fast, because Nintendo is getting more of them out there.
guest687445 6/19/2020 1:17 AM (ET)
NOOOO. I had one in my cart and as i went to check out it was removed from my cart.
Yessir4925 - 6/20/2020 5:20 AM (ET)
Keep trying!
