I got the "ready for pickup" email for my Switch Pro Controller at 9:16 AM and then a cancellation email at 9:20. Tried to pick it up anyway and the manager wasn't having it. Said that all their pickup orders that were placed between 11 PM and 8 AM were canceled.

Got my "pick up is ready" email. Gonna head to the store.

Have they been canceling them there at the register, or am I in the clear? Is this a trap and I'm bout to go to target jail?

Got my pick up order here on the west coast with no fuss, though some other guys in line ahead of me were having trouble because they said they were getting so many orders that they were backed up and should check back later for pickup.

Just games for me, nothing huge, because I honestly felt like I wouldn't have used what I could have potentially bought. Also pre-ordered some things on the same order: The Word Ends with You, Spyro, 428 Shibuya Scramble and Smash, but I'm not even sure if those will last or not. Wario, once again, looking out for us all. Total of all the games from the entire order came to $142.03

Just go there and pick it up like any normal item and you're solid, if they deny it, you'll get your money back and a few minutes of your day wasted.

Picked switch up in Central time zone, what ever you do DON'T cancel your order in store and have them rering it up... that has been one of the things they've been told to do to not have to fulfill orders.

Worked for me. They had most of the games delisted on the website when I finally got around to ordering so I got Ni No Kuni 2, Yakuza 6, Sega Genesis Collection, Kirby Star Allies and Fire Emblem Warriors for ~97.

Pretty, pretty good.

I got my email at 9 when I was already outside the store. Walked in, pick up was to my right, opposite of the normal registers. Single employee (elderly woman), no one in line. Told her I was here for pick up, showed her my email and license, she went to get my pick up and that was that. Don't even think she saw the price. Good luck.

Kinda wish I had added an extra set of joycons to my Switch order but I'd much rather the "swapped" pink and green colors from Japan. Of course I guess I could have ordered both the US green/pink set and the US red/blue set and had the same thing for practically the same price.

Guess I fucked up something up since my PS4 Slim was $130. Ah well.
It depended when you got in on the deal. When I ordered my Pro, I was only able up stack 3 coupons and got it for $290. Later that night, people were stacking 6 to 8 coupons for crazy discounts, I just assumed all those would be cancelled so I didn't reorder it...

I think the actual discount percentage you could get was around 69%

Edit: actually it was more. I got 70% off and I think I missed 1 15% coupon.

Was sitting on the toilet when I saw it. Got to the final checkout button on a neon switch, and then it removed it from my cart :( Ended up getting a 50" 4k tv for just over $100, and that was with pick up at store. On the west coast, so I have to wait an hour for the stores to open, but I did get the "your order is ready for pickup" email, so I'm thinking I'm good? Hopefully?

Also grabbed a Rebel T6 (never had anything past an old point and shoot or my phone, so this is a cheap option to try it out I guess) and a Vizio sound bar for another $200, and those look like they've shipped, lol. So, if I get everything, that's like ~$600 saved?

Walked in at 8am, was second in line (guy in front grabbed what looked like a DJI Spark drone), rang me up, and I had to wait a bit while they brought the TV up front. Of course, once it was brought up, the TV on the cart next to it was a 65" Samsung, which made mine pale in comparison, haha. But after it was brought up, they scanned it, and off I was. Honestly don't even have a spot for it in the house yet due to the stand style. I'm more interested in seeing if the camera and sound bar make it to me. Probably would have preferred a Switch over this stuff, but I really can't complain. On my way out though, there were a couple guys walking up to the pick up counter. Once I was leaving, they passed by with PSVR's in their hands. I asked 'em what'd they get them for, and they said $200 off, haha.

Just picked up two PS4 Pros. They didn't seem to care. Two people in front of me got oleds. They're the real winners in all of this.

Daughter called me on break she runs the store pickups in her store and they are canceling all ordered items with stacked coupons.
They have had quite the busy morning and any employee trying to do this is facing Disciplinary action or dismissal.

Oh shit. There was an employee who was called out earlier in the thread for stacking their employee discount with this. Hope they're ok.

I suspect it will be canceled. But my preorder for Sonic Mania, MMX Collection and Infinity War -- along with the Skyrim PSVR bundle -- is still there as of now.

Got a cancellation for octopath but nothing else so far. I'm waiting on the pickup email for my copy of mario tennis. I may just go up there since the store has been open 4 hours.

There has been zero communication from corporate about canceling orders or team memebers facing action.

Haha hey there! Glad you're ok that would've been some bs. Congrats on getting an even slicker deal than the rest of us!
